Union Pacific 4-8-8-4 “Big Boy” No. 4014 returning to Cheyenne, Wyoming, May 19, 2019
Union Pacific 4-8-8-4 Big Boy Steam Engine #4014 returning to Cheyenne, Wyoming as the forward engine in a lash-up with UP 4-8-4 Northern Steam Engine #844, west of Cheyenne, May 19, 2019.
On this historic day marking the return of the Big Boy to Cheyenne after its maiden post-restoration run, the weather was most uncooperative, marked by frigid, foggy weather which accentuated steam and obliterated smoke.
Not to be deterred, in less than two seconds, I was able with the use of a Nikon D-4s high speed motor driven DSLR and a 24mm f3.5 perspective control lens to capture both of these steam engines as they sped by coupled end-to-end at approximately forty miles per hour.
Though the day provided far from ideal weather these companion photographs very faithfully capture the mood of steam and speed.
