It's a beautiful scene as the 4014 rolls through Deeth, Nevada. The crew looks like they are living out there dream job. Hanging out of the cab, enjoying the evening.

Coming out of Ogden now on the Salt Lake Subdivision. UP 4014 is putting out some good smoke.

I decided to back off the Big for a moment. I didn't really want anything to do with the crowed at Morgan. I circled back, and decided to shot this nice oil can train, that got stopped it Echo Can... (more)

The Big Boy is nearing the end of it's journey on the Fourth of July. Thought I'm not a huge fan of all the apartment building going up along the main. They sure did make the whistle of 4014 sound... (more)
