4-8-8-4 Bigboy #4014
Los Angeles County Fairplex
Pomona, CA

Bigboy Locomotive #4014

Bigboy #4014 on display at the train exhibit at the Los Angeles County Fairplex in Pomona, California. The collection is owned and maintained by the Southern California Chapter of the Railway and Locomotive Historical Society. The museum is open one weekend per month, plus during the Los Angeles County Fair. In this photo, the Bigboy is hidden behind the Centennial diesel locomotive against a dark background, so only the nose is visible.

Update — as of December, 2012, the Union Pacific is in discussions to obtain #4014 for restoration back into running condition. Of all the Bigboy restoration stories over the years, UP is the only organization that has the money, shops, equipment, and roadbed able to handle a project as large as a Bigboy.
