Description: | The American Big Boys are one of the longest and largest mass-produced steam locomotives ever built in the world. During the late 1930s, Union Pacific often used auxiliary locomotives to make trains from Ogden, Utah to Wasatch over a steep pass. U.P. wanted to simplify this system and commissioned its own development department to design a new locomotive that could pull a 3,600 t train (up to max. 4,200 t) up the steep pass. The 25 Big Boy locomotives were built in 2 groups. The first group, called Class 1, was built from 1941. The second group (Class 2) was built in 1944. The last freight train transport by a Big Boy locomotive took place in July 1959. Most Big Boys were decommissioned in 1961.
