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!

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 🤦🏾♂️

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

When is Union Pacific 844 steam locomotive Return
@JohnnyBravo-kg5zh 15 күн бұрын
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.
