    Great story! My grandfather was an engineer on the “Big Boy”, his route running from Ogden to Evanston in the 40’s and early 50’s. A great piece on local history.

    Chased the Big Boy from Evanston all the way back to Ogden! It was transformational. I cannot wait for it to come back to Utah later this month!

    It isn't a train. It is a huge steam locomotive.

    The Big Boy class of locomotives helped win WW2.

    I remember riding the old steam locomotive from Woodstock, NB Canada to St. John with my Nana. I miss both of them.

    No disrespect. But to the man that said it’s like the Hogwarts express. No it’s not. Like not at all. It’s way better. It’s the best in the world.

      Yeah that comment confused me. The Hogwarts Express doesn’t exist. It’s a fictional train. This is real. How does someone come to that conclusion 🤦🏾‍♂️

    Correct me if I'm wrong but 4014 was converted to oil, right?

    Looks to have been converted to run on fuel oil?
    If so, what grade and at what firing rate (G.P.H.)? Thank you.

    Great feature, but I wish they had given us less talking and more sound of the engine running.

    You claim that the railroad was Union Pacific in Roseville back when the locomotives were king. Incorrect it was PFE Pacific Fruit Express and when they had the biggest ice house this west of the Mississippi. I come from a long railroad family from Roseville.
