It's Steamy Sunday here on the Blog on a double digit day! 😁 The Union Pacific Big Boy locomotive 4014, has been on a trip across the country to celebrate the 250th anniversary of the United States. It is on it's way back home to Cheyenne Wyoming after having completed it's east coast run. I was able to capture this image of it as it was passing through Grantville Kansas on it's way to Topeka for a scheduled stop. I had to take this image in the rain. It's an incredible sight to see though, such a huge locomotive, a 4-8-8-4 wheel arrangement, basically 2 engines put together under one boiler and articulated in the middle to help get around curves.
Must be one big boiler to run two engines!?
ReplyDeleteVery! The whole locomotive is huge.
