RAWLINS, Wyo. – Follow 4-8-8-4 Big Boy No. 4014 on its journey back home to Cheyenne. You’ll see it depart Wamsutter, passing the steam era water tower. Then, with flags flying, Big Boy and traveling companion 4-8-4 No. 844 fly through Hadsell, just west of Rawlins.

No sound in these videos.
Cinematography in the John Ford style – nice.
