DENVER (CBS4) – People lined up to see a piece of railroad history roll through Denver on Monday. The Union Pacific Railroad’s “Big Boy” No. 4014 steam locomotive, the world’s largest restored steam engine, made its way through Denver in the afternoon before the big snowstorm hit.
The engine has been touring the country this year to celebrate 150 years since the completion of the Transcontinental Railroad. Robert Hill took his grandsons to see the train’s passing. It was everything they hoped for, and more. They only got to see the train for a few seconds, but he hopes its a moment that will last with them forever.
