This harkens back to the day when Big Boy ruled the Rockies and worked year 'round building a nation.
Kudos to the photographer!

I think UP should buy it and use it as their Christmas card for stockholders!
Trains, trains, wonderful trains. The more you get, the more you toot!
Awesome picture. Nothing like a steamer working on a cold and snowy day.
Have one concern. A national treasure that 4014 is would hate that it not be seen coming in the snow because of the peeriod headlight. A couple portable ditch lights might be called for to increase distance visibility. Yhere are certainly more hazards now than 1949.
