I recall watching a TV documentary about the UP firing up a Big Boy for a run from Denver to Cheyenne, WY. Does the UP have another Big Boy in running condition???

There are probably about half a dozen that can be put in running condition with a complete overhaul, I don’t know how many UP owns, most were donated to various historical societies.
