Coincidentally, just a couple of days ago, I watched a uTube video of moving it from where it was parked to a main line so they could tow it to the restoration shop. That was in 2014. Marvelous!

Too bad nobody posted any photos of this locomotive. But if it was bird it would be all over this website.

Why are they not posted in the Uglu Hedgehog? If the Bigboy was a bird the Ugly Hedgehog would be full of photo of it, but since it is a steam engine you will or might not see a single photo of this engine. Estimated crowd for the Golden Spike Celebration was said to be near 50,000 for the weekend. Can a bird watching group get that many for a weekend? Heck no!!!

Here are three photos (from slide scans) that I took of 4004 on our honeymoon in June 1971 in Cheyenne WY.

Great slides.
Thanks! I'm glad you liked them. They were taken with a Minolta rangefinder.
