UP 4-8-8-4 #4012         
Beautiful action shot of a double header with UP Big Boy #4012 in the lead. No exact date was given. This loco now resides at the Steamtown USA Museum in Scranton, PA. John William photo. Lucas Connor (see comment below) believes this photo might be closer to 1956 since it appears to have been recently repaired and outshopped. Seems fairly good estimate. Thanks, Lucas!

Lucas Connor General Not sure about the exact date, but it might be 1956. 4012 looks like it is fresh from the shops in Cheyenne, and 1956 was when it received its last repairs. Just my guess, I can't tell for sure. 5/12/2021 6:22:16 PM
