Saturday, April 27th, 2019. Union Pacific Big Boy 4014 blows her whistle for the first time in over sixty years, echoing throughout Union Pacific's yard in Cheyenne, Wyoming, and announcing her return. It won't be long before she will be out on the mainline heading towards Ogden, Utah. Anyway, here's a video of Union Pacific 4014 blowing her whistle several times:

NOTE: Also, on Saturday, May 4th, be sure to check YouTube Channel Virtual Railfan's Laramie, Wyoming webcam between 12:30PM and 1:15PM Mountain Time as 4014 and Union Pacific 4-8-4 #844 will be in view of the webcam during that timeframe. Union Pacific 4014 and 844 will be back in Laramie, Wyoming, and within view of Virtual Railfan's webcam, arriving at 12:45PM Mountain Time, Friday, May 17th, staying all of Saturday, May 18th, and leaving at 8:00AM Mountain Time.
 
The Big boy definitely is looking and sounding great, I am looking forward to the day it returns to the mainline along with the 844, the whistle was rough sounding at first but after blowing it out, it sounds better.
