Went out this morning to see Union Pacific's Big Boy Steam Engine as it passed through Western New York on its way to Philadelphia. Absolutely amazing engineering. (Some editing done to remove a few people who were too close in my opinion!)

Great shot, and how lucky you were to see it. I had read about the engine and was hoping it would come here.

Awesome engine! And a very interesting backstory. Steam trains just stir the imagination, I think. V
