Union Pacific Engine 4014 Big Boy

For those who don’t follow steam engines, it is making a once in a lifetime run Eastbound to Buffalo. Then it will swing thru Altoona PA and then head back to CA.

Yep, at historic run. Never been so far east since she rolled out of the factory and Lima Ohio.

Wednesday comes to Fort Wayne Indiana, I’m pretty sure that the tracks she will take are the ones that ran a quarter mile from my house. Aside from a few interesting loads and occasional interesting locomotive, I never saw anything that interesting on them when I lived there.

Got my video last year. Folks who went to downtown Fort Worth were disappointed to see its view was blocked by a freight train. Folks liek me who found an overpass farther down the line were rewarded with some excellent videos.

Any one have the Eastern routing as yet?

I was lucky enough to be standing next to the rails on October 17, 2019, when this bad boy steamed past pulling a whole array of vintage cars where I worked in Casa Grande, Arizona. A truly impressive experience.
