Upon further review, which included checking
diagrams, 4014 weighs 868,800 pounds with both
locomotive and tender empty.

2 "Heavy AC's weigh 864,000 pounds. The 4000s
weight is distributed over 19 axles, while the
2 "Heavies" have a total of 12 axles.

Clearly, weight for the light engine move to
Cheyenne is not an issue.
