In Union Pacific’s shop, Dickens and his team of mechanics began the monumental task of taking the whole thing apart—cleaning and repairing each and every element. Some parts even had to be fabricated right there in the shop. By early 2019, most of the locomotive was complete and it was announced that Big Boy No. 4014 would run to Ogden, Utah, to celebrate the 150th anniversary of the driving of the Golden Spike that first connected America’s coasts by rail.
