Union Pacific 4014 is one of 25 big boy 4-8-8-4 type steam locomotives built by ALCO during World War 2 and one of 8 making it into preservation. 4014 was restored to operation just in time for the 150th anniversary of the golden spike in 2019. Since 4014 was restored, it has traveled over most of the UP system. Currently the 4014 is on the westward bound tour, and the video seen here was taken in Truckee, CA on July 14 when I got to finally got to see it in real life. This train also has one of 6 modern freight diesel locomotives painted in the UP heritage fleet, one of them is 1983 Western Pacific Railroad, a fallen flag. I was there when both engines were pulling historic UP passenger cars during an excursion over Donner Pass from Roseville, CA to Sparks, NV. As of the time of posting, it is currently in Sparks, NV.
