I agree. BTW the “Big Boy” is back on the tracks somewhere.
I remember one steam locomotive that I saw when I was a kid, I can’t remember where it was. It was in one of the many museums that I visited with my family on vacation. If I remember correctly, it was a Baldwin locomotive built in 1900. I remember reading that was sent to the scrapyard then and WW2 started. It was pulled out of the scrap pile and put back into service. It ran coast to coast during the entire war. According to the placard, it ran more miles during the war than it did prior to being designated as scrap iron.
