On an unusually dreary May morning in 2019, The Big Boy, #4014, made the final leg of its inaugural journey back to Cheyenne from Promontory Point, Utah. The weather conditions were perfectly suited to produce voluminous clouds of steam as the Iron Horse made its way forward. The train approached, defying expectations of loud noises, hissing and belching. Instead, a solid, deep chugging could be heard while the odorless steam laid down over the prairie like a soft blanket.
