| UP 4013 takes a spin on the 135-foot turntable in Laramie. Laramie, Green River, Odgen, North Platte, and Cheyenne all recieved new turntables to accomodate the Big Boys when they first arrived. The latter two measured 126 feet, leaving 6 feet of the Big Boys hanging off the ends, while Green River, Ogden, and Laramie had 135 foot turntables, the only ones the Big Boys could fit on.
