Nostalgia & History > Moving UP 4-8-8-4 #4014 in 1962Date: 02/01/05 17:02 Moving UP 4-8-8-4 #4014 in 1962 Author: TonyJ It is January 5, 1962 and UP "Big Boy" #4014 is on its way to a new home at the Pomona County Fairgrounds. There isn't much background to most of the photos, but I'm guess the photos were taken at Yermo. -George Majors photo - Tony J.

Cool pic, as I've never seen an over view of Yermo like this before. The water tower and some of the out buildings were still there when I was forced up there in '78. Great pictures! -BMT

I visited the 4014 at the Pomona County Fairgrounds in 1962, little realizing it just arrived there. - Tony J Date: 02/02/05 15:38 #4014 9/14/02 Author: kimura davew833 Wrote:

(I'm not holding my breath) Actually I here the 4018 in Texas is the best candidate, remember the possible Movie called the same a few years back where they were going to get it going? Alot of posts on TO for that one.. Money fell through and never panned out.. Mike Keithly Kimball, NE Date: 02/27/07 19:46 Re: Moving UP 4-8-8-4 #4014 in 1962 Author: 4-12-2 Two VERY dedicated volunteer members have spent a LOT of their own money and a HUGE number of hours in work on 4014 and it certainly shows.
Any who visit will be astounded. Hats of to the both of 'em!! |
