In this series of photos, we see UPs famous steam duo, 4-8-4 Northern 844 & the newly restored 4-8-8-4 Big Boy 4014 making their way eastbound across Sherman Hill on the final leg of the return trip to Cheyenne after traveling to Ogden, Utah to celebrate the 150th Anniversary of the driving of the Golden Spike. Because this is the inaugural run of the big boy, the 4014 has been given the honor of leading the train in both directions.

Thanks Tim! I can only take credit for the photos, however. These amazingly done locomotives were built by a gentleman in England who specializes in high quality payware Union Pacific steam locomotives for Train Simulator, even going so far as to get audio recordings from the actual locomotives for their sound sets. He also released a brand new model of the CSA-4 series UP Challengers just last summer. This is the series of challengers that includes 3985. Speaking of 3985, here's a screenshot of her in action.
