Big Boy 4012
Title:  Big Boy 4012
Description:  UP 4012 rests in Rawlins. 4012 will become one of the 8 preserved Big Boys when it was donated to Steamtown, USA, then located in Bellows Falls. In 1984, Steamtown relocated to its current home in Scranton, Pennsylvania. Today, I am happy to say, the Big Boy sees fellow ALCOs from the Delaware-Lackawanna on a regular basis, including several RS-3s and and the only remaining C636, not to mention the other ALCO products owned by Steamtown.
