A color photo of a very large steam engine moving through a forest toward the lower right of the frame. An American flag flutters on the engine's right side. Very large billows of steam boil up and toward the upper left of the frame.

Here's a shot of the 4014 before it passed under me to enter the Williams Loop in the Feather River Canyon of Northern California. It was really boiling steam and smoke chugging up hill in the Sierra.

A color portrait photo of a large steam engine under full load chugging up canyon in the late afternoon. The view is from above as the train moves from the upper right to the lower left. The headlight shines brightly and at the top of the round boiler at the front of the engine are two small signs on either side of the central bell that say, "X4014." Gobs of steam and smoke boil up from the front smoke stack and fill the view to the top of the frame.

The Union Pacific No.4014 "Big Boy," a 4-8-8-4 steam engine built in 1941, rolling over the Clio Trestle on the historic Feather River Route in Northern California this morning.

I was hoping for some steam action because it was cool and humid, as compared to two years ago when the 4014 last traveled this route, but I didn't expect this!

A black and white portrait photo of a very large steam engine crossing a tall trestle over a narrow canyon in a conifer forest. The engine is coming toward the lower right of the frame an is about to exit the trestle. The two headlights are on and a US flag flutters on the right side of the engine and a California flag on the left side. Yellow cars are barely seen being pulled by the engine but are mostly obscured by the large billows of steam coming from the engine.

A black and white landscape photo of a very large steam engine. The train is heading toward the left side of the photo. In the foreground is some spotty clumps of sagebrush. On the opposite side of the train is a vast expanse of dry lake bed. In the far distance is a mountain range. The steam engine has two sets of four drive wheels and the boiler part is very long. The tender is attached behind the engine and printed on the side it says, "Union Pacific." A man can be seen leaning out the opening in the cab checking the track ahead.
