WP 165 and UP 4014 Portola WPRM - Dan Scheidell

The FRRS hosted a visit by Union Pacific’s famed Big Boy No. 4014, the world’s largest steam locomotive on Wednesday, July 10, 2024.

The "Big Boy Westward Bound" tour made a stop on July 10, in Portola, California providing a unique opportunity with the locomotive for viewing from the Western Pacific Railroad Museum.

This was a rare chance for members and the public to see this awesome locomotive in person. In addition, the WPRM provided several special activities on that day, including:
Caboose train rides, Motorcar rides, Tours of historic equipment, Model train exhibits,
Food trucks and more!

It was am awesome experience for one and all!
