From this website:

 

"A little known fact is that 4000’s were cleared for operation between Ogden and Los Angeles but no records indicate they ever made the trip and as a result they were not used for any regular scheduled service west of Ogden. East of Cheyenne there was also no regular scheduled service except for an occasional trip to Denver pulling troop trains and into Nebraska during the blizzard of 1949 and coal strike of 1950. The original intent of the Big Boy design was for the pulling of freight in the 35-45 mph range even though they were designed for a maximum of 80 mph. On occasion they were used for passenger service but passenger service was better served by the Challenger series."

I'll be pulling primarily box cars, reefers (anxiously waiting for the PFE reefers), and coal cars. I guess no troop cars, though.

He is a little steep

Steep? That comes out to only $50 per by my calculator. Sounds like a heck of a deal, in my opinion. Try asking him for free shipping.

The msrp was 269, I like what Lee said, up mixing it up with different brands (manufactor)  of cars, it will look like a real railroad then
