10/20/24

 It's Steamy Sunday here on the Blog!  Today's image is the second cool thing I was able to see this week.  On Thursday, the Union Pacific's Big Boy locomotive was coming through my area of Kansas on it's trip home to Cheyenne Wyoming.  I went a bit west of town to photograph it with this bridge.  The Big Boy is a massive 4-8-8-4 wheel arrangement locomotive that the UP restored a few years ago.  It had been out on a big Midwest publicity  trip.  It was pretty late getting to where I was but worked out nice in terms of lighting with the very late afternoon light on it and the autumn colors.  I have a very short video of it HERE.  It's kind of funny, you anticipate and wait for the day to come and then for it to actually arrive and it is something you only see for about 40 seconds.  😂  Still fun though.
