Nothing beats a chance encounter with a legend!
While driving home to Utah after the rock climbing divisionals in Sacramento, this father-son duo crossed paths with a true monster of the rails: Union Pacific’s Big Boy No. 4014. 🚂💨
Currently on its historic 2026 Coast-to-Coast Tour, this 1.1-million-pound beast is the only operational steam locomotive of its kind left in the world.
Seeing those 5'8" wheels in motion puts its 133-foot scale into perspective. A massive piece of history heading back toward the same Wasatch Mountains it was built to conquer. 🏔️ 💪
