A large group of people converged on Medicine Bow to check out UP 4014 as it stopped for a maintenance check on Main 1. The Big Boy established protection that prevented trains from coming through on Main 2 during the stop. UP allowed spectators to walk on the rails to get pictures. Two UP police officers were present to ensure everyone's safety.

A ton of credit goes to the UP Steam Team for bringing UP 4014 back to life. After spending over 50 years on display, the team rebuilt it and converted it to run on oil. Only 25 Big Boys were built and eight remain in existence today (4004, 4005, 4006, 4012, 4014, 4017, 4018, and 4023). These beasts are 132 feet long and weighs 625 tons.

UP 4014 and train are slowing as it approaching the grade crossing in Medicine Bow, WY. The train will make a stop here in Medicine Bow so the steam crew can check out the 4014. These mechanical stops are quite common on long steam journeys.

As you may have guessed, this shot isn't quite as treacherous as it might appear! The train was stopped at the old depot in Medicine Bow, allowing photographers to get shots from different angles.

At Medicine Bow (about 80 miles west of Laramie), a stop is made at the old depot. While the crew takes advantage and lubes up the rods a bit, it appeared this stop was mainly ceremonial. An opportunity for some pictures to be snapped.
