Union Pacific Big Boy
Railroad Wall Clock
WR-UPBB
Union Pacific Big Boy Wooden Railroad Train Clock

The Union Pacific 4-8-8-4 locomotives, popularly named Big 
Boy, is an articulated, coal or oil-fired, steam locomotive 
manufactured between 1941 and 1944 by the American Locomotive 
Company and operated by the Union Pacific Railroad until 
1959. The Big Boy fleet of twenty five locomotives were used 
primarily in the Wyoming Division to haul freight over the 
Wasatch mountains between Green River, Wyoming and Ogden, 
Utah. They were the only locomotives to use a 4-8-8-4 wheel 
arrangement consisting of a four-wheel leading truck for 
stability entering curves, two sets of eight driving wheels 
and a four-wheel trailing truck to support the large firebox.

According to a Union Pacific executive, the 4-8-8-4 series 
originally was to have been called "Wasatch".  One day while 
one of the engines was being built an unknown worker scrawled 
"Big Boy" in chalk on its front. With that, the legendary 
name was born and has stuck ever since.

Keep the trains on time with one of our stunning railroad 
train clocks. White Rabbit clocks are laser cut from
