UP 4011 Rescue         
On October 21, 1956, UP Extra 4011 West departed Cheyenne with 37 cars of bauxite ore. Even a Big Boy could not handle the extreme tonnage, and the train stalled just east of Granite. The dispatcher sent 4021 to push the train up the hill. Here, the train rounds the curve at Buford. Obtained from Union Pacific Steam: Big Boy Portraits (Bush, Ehernberger)
