These engines were designed for both Sherman Hill and the Wasatch Range
in Utah. With 25 locomotives in this class to "play" with, it's not
inconceivable that U.P. decided to put some at both ends of Wyoming to
get tonnage up and over at either end.
 
Speaking of Big Boys, one record here of steam sounds includes one cut
of a Big Boy pulling well over 100 cars out of the yard in Cheyenne on a
westbound. Takes some five minutes for that one cut to play.
