UP 4014, a 4-8-8-4 "Big Boy" steam locomotive, was built by ALCO (American Locomotive Company) in 1941. After spending 20 years in service, it was retired in December 1961 and wound up at a museum in Southern California. UP reacquired 4014 from the museum in 2013 and moved it to Cheyenne in 2014. It was then rebuilt and once again runs under its own (steam) power. Here, on the final day of a two month tour that covered ten states (Arkansas, Colorado, Illinois, Iowa, Kansas, Missouri, Nebraska, Oklahoma, Texas, and Wyoming).

It had been many years since I had taken any shots of DRGW 5771 at the Colorado Railroad Museum. The weather was perfect, so I figured it was time to get a recent shot! DRGW 5771 was, of course, the final FA unit to be retired off Rio Grande's roster. It ran on the Rio Grande Zephyr until its end in April 1983. It spent 1984 working on low priority work trains before being completely retired. The good folks at the Colorado Railroad Museum have restored it in Rio Grande four stripe paint scheme. Ironically enough, the F9A itself never wore this paint scheme. But it still looks mighty good!
