 Boiler build plate (from https://www.trainorders.com/discussion/read.php?10,4303086) UP 4014 currently carries builder plates reproduced from an original plate from UP 4001, with builder number 69572 and builder date September 1941. The original left side builder plate on 4014 was stolen the first night after it arrived in Pomona in January 1962. The right side plate was cracked with a missing corner piece. After a few years, a local R&LHS member offered his original plate from UP 4001 to serve as an original to have reproduction copies made, and it is these reproduction copies that are currently mounted on UP 4014.) - photo by John Garbutt
