Union Pacific is currently moving its "Big Boy" 4014 restoration project from California to Cheyenne, Wyoming. Here is a web site to track it if you are near the line, I'd check it out!

Here is short video I made of its visit in Las Vegas yesterday...

Impressive piece of machinery and a testament to American industrial power of the past. Thanks for sharing

My grand father ran a sawmill with a steam engine and the first time I went out west he said the only thing I "had" to see was a 4-8-8-4 big boy. I saw the one in Wyoming and they don't make stuff like that anymore.
