Union Pacific Big Boy 4014 over the Donner Pass

In July of 2024, the Union Pacific Big Boy Number 4014 went on its Westward bound tour ultimately making it to Northern California. After stopping at Roseville for a few days, 4014 would do the Donner Pass tour from Roseville California - Sparks Nevada. At Auburn the train hit a tree, delaying the whole tour to Sparks. Finally after 2 and a half hours, 4014 rolls into Colfax which is where we would chase it to the summit. Sit back and enjoy clips and photographs of the Big Boy making its way through the Sierra Nevadas.
