When this locomotive comes back to life and into operating condition it will be the largest 4-8-4 in the United States. It is 86,600 lbs heavier than its sister 3751 in San Bernadino, CA. And it is 53,110 lbs heavier than the largest in operating condition now which is the Union Pacific 844 in Cheyenne, WY.
