Posted by Domingo Kauak A. on January 26, 2014  I just noticed that the leading locomotive's number is the same wheel arrangement of the Big Boy. Nice detail. Posted by rob216 on January 26, 2014  Just noticed that they used loco #4884, just like the wheel arrangement on the 4014. Posted by Greg Poston on January 26, 2014  That is completely bad-ass that UP used the SP heritage unit and the SD70 4884 to perform this move! I can not imagine a more interesting way to have done it. UP you earned some style points in my book for this. Posted by Zach Pumphery on January 26, 2014  Wow, it's almost like they planned that. 4884 just even happened to be freshly washed for the occasion, what a coincidence, right? Posted by David West on January 27, 2014  3 great locomotives in one photo! (did anyone else notice the number on the lead loco is the same as the wheel arrangement on the Big Boy? ) :-) Great photo Matthew, thanks for sharing it with us on RP. And I think a PCA from me. Posted by Monon43 on January 27, 2014  Nice catch rob216- I wonder if UP did that on purpose or if it was totally unplanned. Posted by Engineer Hahs on January 27, 2014  that photo will most likley be on the 2015 UP callender good job Posted by Paul Moore on January 27, 2014  I've been waiting forever to see this. And its awesome! Posted by I.B. Foamer on January 27, 2014  Nice to see the comparison size-wise between a Big Boy and a SD70. Posted by Paul Moore on January 28, 2014  New wallpaper on my computer. Posted by Nathan Del Porto on January 29, 2014  I herd they will be using the SD70 4014 for one of the moves.
