A Closer Look at Big Boy's Design and History

The Union Pacific Big Boy locomotives were not just massive in size but also remarkable in engineering. Designed to haul 4,400-ton trains over the demanding grades of Utah’s Wasatch Mountains, these 1.3-million-pound behemoths were built by the American Locomotive Works in 1940. The Big Boy's storied legacy includes services during World War II and a lasting presence on the tracks until the late 1950s, with several still preserved today.
