| UP 4011 takes on a new load of coal prior to another run across the Wasatch in August, 1957. 4011 would stay in service until the very end of UP steam in 1959. The engine would pull the second-to-last freight train ever pulled by a Big Boy, arriving in Cheyenne on the morning of July 21 with 62 loads and 28 emptys from Laramie. 4011 even outlasted its brethren in retirement, being outlived only by its 8 preserved sisters. 4011 would meet its fate on June 14, 1963, just under 4 years since it pulled its last train into Cheyenne.
