This is a song about the BIGGEST steam locomotive in the world that ran on the Union Pacific Railroad line. The 'Big Boys' were used on the Overland Route on long continuous climbs at the summit of Sherman and west of Green River through the Wasatch range. They were first called the "titans of the Wasatch," but quickly adopted the name 'Big Boy' - which was written on one of the drive rods by an unknown worker at ALCO.

TITANS OF THE WASATCH (BALLAD OF THE BIG BOY)

Listen up my friends won't you lend an ear?,

tell ya bout the biggest steam Engine in the world

600 tons of iron loving fun ,

Rolls down the tracks like a huge leviathan

Big Boy, Big Boy, Hear the power and the rumble of a big, big boy

Big Boy, Big Boy ,Throttle up, the always tough big big boy

Bout 6,000 horses, maybe even more,

Wheel configuration4-8-8-4

There's never been a bigger engine on the UP line,

When I think about it I get shivers up my spine

Big Boy, Big Boy Full head of steam, ah lookn mean Big Big Boy

Big Boy, Big Boy The steepest grade, will never sway a Big Big Biy

You heard about Elijah called fire from the sky,

Moses made the Red sea split from side to side

The walls of Jericho came tumbling down with a crash,

Now you know about those titans of the Wahsatch

Big Boy, Big Boy Nothing can compare Big, big Boy

Big Boy, Big Boy The awesome strength and might of a big big boy

There ain't nothing quite like a Big Big Boy

Someday I wanna ride on a big big boy

Additional verse

Up and over Sherman pass, and the mountains in utah,

This giant locomotive, can easily climb them all

Overland through green river, Cheyenne to Laramie,

A big boy goin' down the track's a real sight to see

Big Boy, Big Boy See them driv'n wheels a pound'n on a big big boy

Big Boy Big Boy Through the plains of wyom'n rides a big big boy
