I shot this picture the other day on a bike ride. It was still accelerating some, I love that sound of those big diesel engines when they are working hard.

To expedite service, especially with heavy trains, even the Big Boy used helper engines or was doubleheaded. Here, engines 4013 and 4004 team up to doublehead a train over Sherman Hill on the way from Laramie to Cheyenne in August 1958 photo... I'd suspect these had been converted to oil at this time.
