At the top of this hill stand two of the largest locomotives ever built, the Big Boy steam locomotive and Centennial diesel locomotive, placed here to honor one of Union Pacific's greatest leaders, John Cooper Kenefick, who served as the railroad's senior officer from 1970 until 1986. Overlooking the Missouri River Valley, Big Boy and Centennial pay tribute to a man whose leadership, integrity, and generosity moved a railroad into the 21st century.
