Big Boy Left Colorado for Cheyenne, WY, 23 Oct 2024
Author: cozephyr

Steam fans big and small turned out to say farewell to UP 4014 Big Boy winding up its Heartland of America Tour.  UP 4014 had laid over at Denver for an Employee Appreciation Event held Tuesday, 22 October 2024 at North Yard, Denver, CO.

UP 4014 rolled through Eaton, Colorado, to large crowds along UP's Greeley Subdivision that afternoon of 23 October 2024.  Great job by all those involved in the weeks long Heartland of America Tour.

Big Boy at Denver, Colorado, 23 Oct 2024

Union Pacific 4014 Big Boy started her journey from North Yard, Denver, CO, about 9:00 AM off the Old West track.  TV News channel 7 incorrectly reported the 4014 was at Denver Union Station.  That was NOT the case - UP 4014 was about 2-miles away at North Yard the entire time during its Mile High City visit.

UPP 25809 caboose was used to shove the Heartland of America Tour special east across the Belt Line between North Yard via UP Junction to York Street to position train on the Greeley Subdivision.  Special had started their Heartland of America Tour at Cheyenne, Wyoming, on 28 August 2024.  What an amazing tour-!

Thanks for the video.  I spotted two UP guys in yellow vests with their cell phones out taking in all of the action.  Must be foamers in the ranks!

Photo opportunities of the Big Boy we're numerous - well covered by employees and families in the Denver Metro area.
