Description
Big Mike, a Mikado-type steam locomotive, was built in 1920 by the American Locomotive Co.
Nicknamed Mike by railroad men, it was a very successful type of locomotive.
Boise's Big Mike was used as an all-purpose freight engine along Union Pacific's main line from North Platte, Nebraska, to Fruitland, Idaho.
Engine No. 2295 was "retired" by the Union Pacific Railroad and donated to the city of Boise, Idaho in 1956. The locomotive currently resides at the Boise Depot.
