4014 Big Boy update.

The UP steam crew has been working on the 4014 prepping it for the move to Cheyenne since the first of August.  They have even moved it back and forth a few feet using a front end loader!  It looks like they will move the locomotive sometime in October to a nearby UP facility to have the main roller bearings inspected.  I'm hoping and crossing my fingers that we'll get to see it come through Utah this fall.
Note the pistons and valves laying on the wood blocks.

More info on the work being performed here.
