Celebrate my 4000 posts, take a look at my Big Boy!
Big, isn't it? And long too!

p.s. For those of you who don't know what you're looking at, it a picture of the Union Pacific Big Boy, Steam Locomotine x4000, built in 1941, taken somewhere out west in Wyoming.

2. Awesome
We saw the second largest locomotive at the big Rail Fest in Sacramento many years back. It was driven down from Canada, I think, and railroadies camped along the tracks to get a look at it. Was that a Big Boy?

3. we have a Big Boy at the Forney Museum here in Denver
My husband has to visit it at least once a year. I love that Museum!

Congrets on the 4G, RetroLounge!

It's a herd of them.

Or is it a gaggle?

Either way, it scares me...
