In 1961, the locomotive received new flues, tires, tubes, and more in a major overhaul to continue hauling excursions. It has hauled numerous excursions, a museum train, and now hauls tourists and railfans on the Grand Canyon Railway in Arizona.

Converted to run on waste vegetable oil, the locomotive has been called 'the Greenest train in America'. The Union Pacific Railroad’s Big Boy 4-8-8-4 steam locomotive is undoubtedly the beast of American railroading history, and this epitome of heavy haulage is now available for Train Simulator with a number of challenging scenarios for the Sherman Hill route. 4960 was also painted gold for CB&Q's 50th anniversary of service. In the early 1940s, Union Pacific Railroad (UP) sought to build a locomotive capable of. In 1962, 4960 doubleheaded with CB&Q 5632 on the Illinia Railroad Club special to Savanna via Denrock, and returned via the mainline with 5632 running light-engine. In 1966, the CB&Q retired 4960 and sold it to the Circus World Museum (CMW) to haul their circus museum train throughout Wisconsin.

The SBRHS continues to find reasons to bring the locomotive out and run it. 4960 once had an auxiliary tender, although it is presumably scrapped.Ĥ960 was later leased from the CMW to the Bristol & Northwestern Railroad in Virginia. It is a fine example of one of the most popular fallen flags in the United States and it is a fine example of the popular 4-8-4 design. The locomotive is Quick Drive compatible, giving you the freedom to run the Union Pacific FEF-3 on any Quick Drive enabled route for Train Simulator, such as those available through Steam. The railroad was unsuccessful and closed in 1984. Also included are scenarios specifically for the Sherman Hill route (available separately and required to play these scenarios). The next year, 4960 was sold to the Grand Canyon Railway. Today, CB&Q 4960 runs on the Grand Canyon Railway, which runs from Williams, Arizona, to the South Rim of the Grand Canyon. It received a new pilot, a center-mounted headlight, a smokebox-mounted bell, and an all-new larger tender.

As of 2011, the locomotive runs once a month and has been converted to burn eco-friendly waste vegetable oil.
