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.
