I should add a description of the link I just posted: They’re rebuilding “Big Boy” for the 150th anniversary of the Golden Spike. It will run from it’s rebuilding site to Ogden sometime soon.

Can’t wait for the return of the Big Boy. I watched vids of them pulling it to the shop. UP also had a working Challenger for a while but I think it’s down for repair the last couple years.

How cool would it be if they
