Union Pacific Big Boy Across the Sierras: Feather River Canyon & Donner Pass

In the summer of 2024, Union Pacific's Big Boy steam locomotive 4014 embarked on a tour of the western United States. In this program, we follow the Big Boy and its train across the scenic Sierra Nevada, through the Feather River Canyon on the former Western Pacific, and over Donner Pass on the former Southern Pacific. We also visit the Big Boy while it is on public display at Roseville to get a closer look at the world's largest steam locomotive. 0:00 Intro 0:13 Portola 3:28 Camp Layman 4:40 Spring Garden 7:46 Keddie 8:44 Twelvemile Bar 9:20 Pulga 11:22 Public Display 12:47 Roseville 16:21 Newcastle 17:33 Colfax 19:22 Casa Loma 21:22 Yuba Pass 23:36 Soda Springs 25:21 Shed 47 26:24 Truckee 31:47 Boca 32:33 Floriston 33:06 Reno
