Final shot from the day of UP 4014, now stopped in the yard in Sidney, NE, where it will "sleep" for the night. The tanker truck is filled with water and will fill the Big Boy's "water bottle" back up for the next leg of the trip to North Platte, NE tomorrow. Ultimately, the train will move from Union Pacific to Norfolk Southern in Chicago, running on NS tracks (in anticipation of the proposed merger between UP and NS) to Philadelphia. The steam train returns to Cheyenne at the end of July.

UP 4014 is letting off a bit of smoke as it has come to a stop in the yard at Sidney, NE. UP actually does run a local out of a Sidney, and keeps a handful of units in town for that local. UP 4014 has completed the first 100 miles of its journey from Cheyenne to Philadelphia. It will be in Philadelphia on July 4th to celebrate the Semiquincentennial.

UP 4014 is creeping along at about 10 MPH as it is preparing to come to a stop for the first night of many to come on this incredible journey to Philadelphia and back.

UP 4014 has left Main 2 behind and is now on one of the yard tracks here in the small yard at Sidney, NE. The signals on the bridge, from left to right, are for Main 2, Main 1, and the 11,000-foot siding at Sidney. No signal head for Big Boy as the train is out of CTC and now in yard limits.

A lot of folks really enjoy pacing the Big Boy as it is moving along at track speed! You can see the line of cars here on US-30 that are doing precisely that, taking in the sights and sounds of the train as it heads east.
