Here is another clip of film that I came across that my great grandfather filmed. It shows a few of the Big Boys moving around the railyard, including 4009 on a turntable and going into the roundhouse. Date is unknown.

What a wonderful job your great grandfather did on these films.
Big Boys in action are always fun to see.

I assume so but there wasn't a location noted with the film.

It was hard to tell but if the Big Boys fit in the turntable without hanging over on each end, I would call it Laramie with their 135 foot table. Cheyenne had a 125 foot table and the Big Boys hung over some on each end. The wheelbase barely fit.

In that last shot, I wonder if that pile of coal made into the house or did it get leveled off by the top of the door frame.
