Big Boy 4009
Title:  Big Boy 4009
Description:  Union Pacific 4009 trundles past a string of boxcars in the Cheyenne yard. The 4000-class behemoth was built in September 1941, and was equipped with all the lastest in steam technology. These units were equiped with a pressure lubrication system for the tender, 68" drivers, and roller bearings on all the axles. Despite this modernity, the 4000s were not immune from the march of progress. As diesels became ever more prominent on the Wyoming Division, the 4000s found their usefullness on the decline. By 1959, the final Big Boys were retired, and many, such as 4009, would be cut up for scrap. 4009 would meet the torch in May, 1963, after 18 years of service on the UP.

Big Boy 4010
Title:  Big Boy 4010
Description:  Union Pacific 4010 rests in the yard at Laramie. The 1941-built unit was one of 20 such engines built in the 4884-1 series, numbered 4000-4019. These units differed slightly from the 4884-2 series of five engines (4020-4024) built in 1944 to fulfill wartime traffic demands. Both series of locomotives would meet their retirement in 1959, when UP would discontinue steam operations on the Wyoming Divison. 8 of the 25 would be preserved, although 4010 would not be so lucky. She would be cut up in Geneva, Utah, on May 24, 1963, one of the last Big Boys to be scrapped. Obtained from Union Pacific Steam: Big Boy Portraits (Bush, Ehernberger)
