Description
Product Details

The American Big Boys are among the longest and largest steam locomotives ever built in the world. In the late 1930s, the Union Pacific often used auxiliary locomotives to pull trains from Ogden, Utah, through a steep pass to Wasatch. U.P. wanted to simplify this system and commissioned its own engineering department to design a new locomotive capable of pulling a 3,600-ton train (up to a maximum of 4,200 tons) into the steep pass. The 25 Big Boy locomotives were built in 2 groups. The first group, called class 1, was built from 1941. The second group (class 2) was built in 1944. The last freight train transport by a Big Boy locomotive took place in July 1959. Most of the Big Boys were retired in 1961.
