The American Big
Boys are some of the longest and largest steam locomotives ever built anywhere
in the world. During the late thirties Union Pacific often used auxiliary engines
to haul trains from Ogden, Utah up a steep pass to Wasatch. U.P. wished to simplify
this system and instructed their own development department to design a new
locomotive capable of hauling a 3,600 ton train (max 4,200 tons) up the steep
pass. The 25 Big Boy locomotives were built in 2 groups. The first group, called
the Class 1, was built from 1941. The second, Class 2, was built in 1944. The
last goods train was hauled by a Big Boy loco in July 1959. Most Big Boys were
retired from service in 1961.
