Big Boy 4008 |
| Description: |
Union Pacific 4008 rests in the yard at Laramie in late October, 1956. Steam is nearing the end on the UP and the rest of the nations railroads. In just two months, the Union Pacifics fellow western railroad Southern Pacific will end all steam operations on their lines, and in just two and a half more years UP will follow suit. 4008 would be retired at the end of steam in 1959, and scrapped on August 7, 1962.

Two ALCOs at Pullman |
| Description: |
UP 4008 drags a freight train through Pullman, a suburb of Denver. The exact date is unknown (except for the year, 1956), but I assume it is sometime in November or December. Note the ALCO switcher parked on the station track. The switcher is either an S2 or S4, built not long after the final Big Boys, and retired by 1970.
