One of my very first picts -
The Union Pacific "Big Boy" one of 25 built in 1941 at a cost of $250,000. This was the largest successful steam engine ever built! At a total weight of over 600 tons and a length of 132' it carried 25,000 gallons of water in it's tender.

	Dec 01 2006 06:15 GMT nzshutter PRO This is a really awesome looking beast!! Excellent transport entry. It says in the caption that it is a steam engine. This loco looks like a diesel. A minor mistake I feel. Nothing to worry about though. :)
	Dec 01 2006 06:47 GMT PhotoPro PRO it does look diesel but was one of the great "new design" steam engines of WWII

	Dec 01 2006 13:43 GMT Railtrekker This is Diesel Locomotive. UP classified this as a DD40X it has 2 diesel prime movers to generate electric current for the 8 traction motors (one per axle) http://www.steamlocomotive.com/centennials/ http://utahrails.net/articles/up-dda40x.php Very nice picture. My guess would be that the museum had moved some equipment around and hadn't moved the signs yet. Thanks for sharing
	Dec 01 2006 14:52 GMT PinkPepperPhoto PRO Gorgeous, however I agree with railtekker it is a diesel. Not and old black beauty steamer.
	Dec 01 2006 15:17 GMT PhotoPro PRO thanks for the info Railtrekker! Your guess sounds about right - it's a huge museum and they are constantly moving things around.
	Dec 01 2006 15:19 GMT PhotoPro PRO If I had looked at my own picture I would have seen that the number on the train didn't match the number on the sign. I knew something wasn't right about this one! :)) duh.......
