Union Pacific’s Big Boys follows the complete story of the 25 enormous 4-8-8-4 steam locomotives built for Union Pacific, from their development in the early 1940s through regular service, retirement, preservation, and the return of Big Boy No. 4014 to operation.
The 224-page book includes approximately 175 photographs and devotes substantial attention to No. 4014’s restoration, beginning with its recovery from display in 2013 and continuing through its restoration and 2019 tour. That combination makes the book useful both as a history of the entire Big Boy class and as a record of one of the most significant modern steam-locomotive restoration projects.
