4-8-8-4 Bigboy #4018
Age Of Steam Museum
Dallas, TX

Bigboy Locomotive #4018

Bigboy #4018 on display at the Age Of Steam Museum in Dallas, Texas. The museum is located on the north side of the Texas State Fair grounds just east of downtown. Although the paint is not fresh in this photo, she does look well cared for.

#4018 was moved in the late 1990’s in preparation for a starring role in a major motion picture. The movie project fell apart before #4018 was tore down as part of the proposed restoration to running status. The timing was fortunate...had #4018 been tore down, and then the project terminated, it is doubtful if the museum could have raised the funds to put her back together and move #4018 back to the museum.
