"Big Boy," the world's largest steam locomotive, is in the news as
Union Pacific Railroad
plans to restore one of these behemoths to operative condition. In anticipation of the event, this book covers the engine class between 1941 and 1959, when Big Boys were in regular service in
Utah and Wyoming
.
Coverage is mainly given to those
eight Big Boys now preserved at museums
and municipalities
across the U.S.
This pictorial examines how Big Boys were extensively documented by both professional and amateur railroad photographers who came to the
Wasatch Mountains
and
Sherman Hill
to see big UP steam before it was "too late."
The book shows some of the best action photography taken of Big Boy as provided from the collection of UP rail historian James L. Ehernberger.
Also included is information about the photographers, critiques of their images and a descriptive year-by-year time line of Big Boy operations.
Softbound, 10.5x8.5, 80 pages, 80 photos.
