On May 9, 2019, The city of Ogden, the Union Pacific Railroad, people from every corner of the globe came together at Ogden Union Station to celebrate the 150th anniversary of the completion of the transcontinental railroad and the driving of the golden spike.
Re-enacting this historic event, Union Pacific's 4-8-4 FEF-3 Northern 844 and fresh out of restoration 4-8-8-4 Big Boy 4014 are positioned by UP railroad personnel to re-create the famous scene of the final driving of the golden spike in 1869.
My hats off to the UP Heritage Team on a fantastic job at bringing the king of steam back to life! For those that believe steam is dead, here is proof that you are wrong!

It’s my birthday too! I will forever be able to joke that they restored the Big Boy for my 16th birthday.

Last time there was this much fanfare for a steam locomotive, it was for a norfolk and western 4-8-4 XD
