The winds were very strong in Wyoming today as UP 4014 and train headed east from Rawlins to Cheyenne. With partly cloudy skies, the wind was blowing the clouds in and out the area very quickly. Here, just as a cloud catches up, UP 4014 and train head east on Main 2.

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.

UP 4014 and train cross over the North Platte River at Fort Steele, right around 14 miles east of Rawlins, WY. Five miles east of here, at Walcott, the train crossed over from Main 1 to Main 2. There also happens to be a 10 MPH slow order across the bridge, so the train is move slow through the scene.

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.

UP 4014 pulls through a cut on Main 1. The train made a mechanical stop several miles back at Medicine Bow, allowing me to get ahead of it.
