Photo ID: 110634 Date Shot Photo By Sunday, June 30, 2024 Kevin Morgan Location Times Viewed Hanna to Durrant Carbon County, WY 73 (Add a Comment) Subdivision Railroad Laramie (UP) Union Pacific 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.

Photo ID: 110628 Date Shot Photo By Sunday, June 30, 2024 Kevin Morgan Location Times Viewed East of Laramie Laramie, WY 68 (Add a Comment) Subdivision Railroad Laramie (UP) Union Pacific I grew up in the diesel era, but I am not going to lie that there is nothing like seeing the 4-8-8-4 "Big Boy" in command of a train. UP is taking the engine to Roseville and back over the next several weeks. The train will operate over Donner Pass and it will run through Feather River Canyon as well.
