Changes

Big Boy and his 24 brothers, also called "Big Boy", were built to haul freight over the Wasatch Range between Ogden, Utah, and Green River, Wyoming. In the late 1940s, they were reassigned to Cheyenne, Wyoming, where they hauled freight over Sherman Hill to Laramie, Wyoming. They were the only locomotives to use a 4-8-8-4 wheel arrangement: four-wheel leading truck for stability entering curves, two sets of eight driving wheels and a four-wheel trailing truck to support the large firebox.

Today, the Big Boy competing in TWC2, No. 4014, is one of eight that survive. He was re-acquired by Union Pacific, and between 2014 to 2019 it was rebuilt to operating condition for the 150th anniversary of the First transcontinental railroad. He thus regained the title as the largest and most powerful operating steam locomotive in the world. His seven surviving brothers are on static display in museums across the country.

On September 10, 2022, during Challenge 1, Big Boy mysteriously disappeared out of Union Pacific's Cheyenne, WY shops and into an unknown universe with the rest of the contestants. He was noted for being very big for a contestant. Meanwhile back in Cheyenne, his companion, No. 844, an FEF-3 engine, has been chosen to replace Big Boy with his excursions. Initially, not much was known as to how Big Boy can move freely with barely any tracks in the TCW2 universe, until it was discovered that tracks can mysteriously appear and disappear, thus enabling Big Boy to move freely. His supply of oil and water can also magically refill within a second. He should make friends with another railway vehicle, [[T Series Car 5134]] from the Toronto Transit Commission in Canada. Not long afterwards, Big Boy officially became a contestant.

He was noted for being very big for a contestant. Meanwhile back in Cheyenne, his companion, [[No. 844]], has been chosen to replace Big Boy with his excursions. Big Boy is now based in [[New Cheyenne]] because he easily feels at home just by the name. However, he doesn't know what to do with the fact that he is living in a parallel universe with completely unfamiliar railways.

On September 30, 20 days after his first appearance, Big Boy found out he was tied with [[Sir Feet]] and [[Witch's Cauldron]] for 79th place in the challenge with 52 points each. He wasn't exactly sure what it meant when it was just [[The Divine Goddess]] ranking character pages, which were the entries for Challenge 1. Despite being an incredibly large steam locomotive, he still went to the [[Mark Genuine's Funeral|funeral]] of [[Mark Genuine]], although it isn't exactly sure whether or not he died as a result of elimination.
