I've seen videos of those trips, but never seen a Big Boy in person.

I've seen Norfolk & Southern's steam engines that they occasionally
run around Virginia though - but that was 3 decades ago.

Just responding to your picture, but it amazes me how dirty we were a hundred plus years ago. Can you imagine living in a town where everyone was burning coal in order to heat their homes? Now we are getting dirty in an effort to go green. Mine the rare earth and litter the land with inefficient wind and solar.

It gave me goosebumps. Like seeing a time machine rolling in. I don’t know if they’ll run it this year. here is the web site for the steam locomotives.
