+==[[The Wiki Camp 2: Official Trainspotter's Guide|''Official Trainspotter's Guide'']] biography==
+The steam age in the [[United States]] reached its pinnacle in upon the arrival of the ultimate workhorse, the [[Union Pacific Railroad]]'s one and only Big Boys. At 1,208,750 lbs, they are the heaviest steam engines of all time, surpassing their Challenger cousins by around 200,000 lbs.
+
+The Big Boys are the first and only locomotives to have a wheel arrangement of 4-8-8-4. They were the perfect engines for the job of pulling massive freight trains through the mountains of [[Wyoming]] and [[Utah]], especially during World War II. Their sheer size and power resulted in eight locomotives being preserved, out of a total of 25. In 2019, No. 4014 was restored by Union Pacific and continues to provide mainline excursions to this day.
+
+'''Did You Know?''': No. 4014 is reportedly a contestant in [[The Wiki Camp 2]]. However, there is much debate as to whether it's a clone or the original (with the clone being in Cheyenne).
