Union Pacific 'Big Boy' locomotive refurbished
It's longer than two city buses, weighs more than a Boeing 747 fully loaded with passengers and can pull 16 Statues of Liberty over a mountain.
[Emphasis mine.]

Over a mountain, huh? Sixteen of them. Who knows, but you gotta admire a guy who can think that one up.
This massive Union Pacific locomotive #4014 was refurbished recently to help celebrate the 150th anniversary of completing the Transcontinental Railroad. ( http://bit.ly/2Io8bUt ) Steam engines this size last worked in the 1950's.
If you're passing through Utah some time this summer you might get a glimpse.
