Union Pacific Railroad Big Boy Steam Engine Postcards
by stanrailBig Boy was the largest steam engine ever built.
The Union Pacific Railroad Big Boy was the largest steam locomotive ever built. In total, 25 Big Boys were built By The American Locomotive Company between 1941 and 1944. A Big Boy could generate a maximum of 6,290 drawbar horsepower. The Big Boys were the only locomotives to have the 4-8-8-4 wheel arrangement, combining two sets of eight driving wheels with both a four-wheel leading truck for stability entering curves and a four-wheel trailing truck to support the large firebox. The last run was July 21, 1959.
