One thought on “Union Pacific Big Boy No. 4014 photos

  1. It is beyond belief that this massive piece of machinery was able to be made in the time frame it was done..no computers, no robots making welds, just honest hard working men and their skill, "crude" tools (compared with today..yet build it/(them) they did, and lo-and behold…it did what it was designed to do..all that because of a gaseous state of water called "STEAM"!!!!!!
