UP 4014 and train departed Cheyenne westbound in March with UP 1616, UP 1776, and a dozen or passenger cars. However, on the return trip east, a lot of passenger cars were removed, along with UP 1616 and UP 1776 and they were sent to Council Bluffs, IA in preparation of the eastern tour. Covered hoppers were added to the back to help with braking. Here, the train is approaching Arch Road, in Carbon County.

The overall size of a UP Big Boy is truly impressive to behold. This view of the 4-8-8-4 leading a special west of Hanna helps show its overall size. Including the tender, the unit is 132 feet long. The Big Boy and tender combine weight right around 1.2 million pounds (600 tons). The tender holds close to 25,000 gallons of water and consumes as much as 12,000 gallons of water per hour.
