The Union Pacific Railroad needed a locomotive capable of hauling a 3,600-ton train over Sherman Hill and the 1.14% grade between Ogden and Wasatch, Utah, without the assistance of helper locomotives.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin: 0;\"\u003eWhen the final design specifications were completed, Union Pacific and ALCO settled on a simple articulated locomotive built for both power and speed. Measuring 132 feet in length and riding on sixteen 68-inch drivers, the resulting 4-8-8-4 was among the longest, heaviest, and most powerful steam locomotives ever constructed. Legend has it that had an ALCO worker not chalked the words “Big Boy” on the smokebox of one of the locomotives during construction—a nickname that immediately captured the imagination of everyone who saw it—the class may have instead become known as the \"Wasatch,\" named for the mountains it was designed to conquer.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c!-- HISTORICAL PERSPECTIVE --\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"margin-bottom: 24px;\"\u003e\n\u003ch3 style=\"color: #0c07e3; font-size: 24px; margin: 0 0 10px;\"\u003eHistorical Perspective\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"height: 2px; background: #45A1BB; margin-bottom: 18px;\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin: 0 0 12px;\"\u003eA quote from Worlds Greatest Steam Locomotives by Eugene L.

Class 1 were locomotives #4000-4019 and Class 2 was numbered 4020-4024. The first Big Boy #4000 was delivered to Omaha, NE on September 5, 1941. Union Pacific's commitment to the Big Boy required them to replace the lighter rail and straighten out many miles of track for clearance, as well as to resize elements of their service areas (such as turntable lengths, etc.) for the entire line these locos would run on.”\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin: 0;\"\u003eThroughout their storied careers, the Big Boys demonstrated remarkable strength, reliability, and speed.
