Big Boy [url=https://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=%234004]#4004[/url] gets a long overdue cosmetic restoration. The big steam locomotive is on display in Holliday Park located in Cheyenne, Wyoming. The park is located just a short drive from the Union Pacific steam shop where Big Boy [url=https://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=%234014]#4014[/url] is currently undergoing restoration to working order. 4004 is on permanent display and there is no plans for restoration. At [url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LASmha2wLZs&t=1930s]32:10[/url] we see some footage of the locomotive prior to painting. It has been sandblasted to bare metal. This was filmed in May, 2018.

The 4004 was built in 1940 by the American Locomotive Works. It weighs over 1,000,000 pounds, is rated at 6,290 hp, and has a tractive effort of 135,375 pounds. The locomotive operated between Cheyenne, Wyoming and Ogden, Utah.
