--Off topic. Sorry Bob but I cant resist. We saw it in Oakland, CA around the same time. It had stopped for the night. We went just out of curiosity but were gobsmacked by the size and mass and the steel. While we were there, they began to prep it for travel. We learned the route it would take, jumped in the car and picked a desolate spot to watch it move. We stood right next to the track, watched and felt it roll by at probably 40 mph. The ground shook and so did we. John’s screenshot said coast-to-coast tour. I will not miss it if it come within 100 miles of Oakland. Awesome experience.

We saw the Big Boy in July of 2019 in Adams, WI on the way to the Minnesota meet. Pretty special.

I want to see this . They were built to pull long freights uphill into/ over Rockies west out of Wyoming , turn around and do it again . I have a film showing changing the outer steel tire rim on wheel , 7-8 feet I think , shrunk on wheel by hand with hammers red hot
Wore out those steel wheels regularly too , had to weigh a million pounds to get traction for unbelievable hp it made
Today takes like 8 max power diesels. Steam locomotives are unbelievable , especially this one
Chrysler 300 type stuff.. the best
