    The RailGiants Train Museum says you're 20% low

    Union Pacific No. 4014 is a Big Boy class steam locomotive having a 4-8-8-4 wheel arrangement.
    They are the heaviest single expansion steam locomotive ever built, weighing about 1,200,000 pounds. Big Boy locomotives are hinged (or articulated) because of its great length.
