Union Pacific Big Boy 4014 Toddler T-Shirt

Only 25 of these trains were built between 1941- 1944.
This particular locomotive was built in 1941 and was retired in December 1961 ending a 20 year service.
Some call it a 4-8-8-4, meaning it has 4 wheels in the front, 8 driver wheels and then another 8 wheels and then 4 more supporting.
It returned to service in 2019 and now travels through major US cities so the public can get an up close and personal view as it travels down the tracks.
It is really a beautiful train to see in action.

There are seven Big Boys on public display in various cities around the country. They can be found in St. Louis, Missouri; Dallas, Texas; Omaha, Nebraska; Denver, Colorado; Scranton, Pennsylvania; Green Bay, Wisconsin; and Cheyenne, Wyoming.

David Ilzhoefer is a photographer based in Dallas, TX. I use my imagination and sense of humor to capture uniqueness and beauty in ordinary subjects that we might not observe otherwise. Photography is my creative outlet and I always try to challenge myself. Normal is sometimes boring. Dare to be different and always have fun. I'm always mindful of what I want to try to capture in the end, but I realize that doesn't always happen. When it doesn't, I usually discover something new along the way, which opens up new possibilities. It's a journey of constant learning and discoveries. I'm always adding new photos, so please check back often. If there is a color photo that you would like processed in black and white, please let me know...
