I got a few hurried shots of it approaching Rochelle Illinois. None of mine are nearly as good as yours.

I like it! I've seen 4004 in static display in Cheyenne, Wyoming. I'd love to see one of the "Big Boy" engines in motion.

This steam engine has been traveling the midwest to commemorate the 150th anniversary of the transcontinental railroad. It passed by near here yesterday and I was able to get a couple of decent shots of it. Here's one.

I'm one of many who followed the restoration of 4014 for years. It was an astonishing-and formidably expensive-project undertaken by the Union Pacific Railroad (which had commissioned the twenty-five examples delivered in the forties) and a bunch of railfans. I have a photo of #4014 and 4019 double-heading on Wyoming's Sherman Hill taken in 1958; it was for this grade on the Cheyenne-Ogden tracks that these colossal giants were built.

Very nice. I'm sorry I missed it, although I have to say, I don't think I could have doe a better job of photographing it than you did. Well done. I'd say you're underrating your shot by saying it was just decent.
