We spent all day yesterday drag racing stream locomotives. Will have some poorly taken pictures and videos when I'm done gathering them.

2102 met up with U.P. 4014 (aka Big Boy) In Pittsville PA, for "a once in a lifetime experience" drag race 50 miles back home.

2102 Said "Ill race you with a trailer on." We had 27 fully loaded cars and made a little over than half the horsepower of 4014, but they detached the diesel locos on our way back and sent it. No surprise 4014 blew our doors off, visiting every car we had, more than a couple times.

We're pretty sure the railroad wasn't expecting it to happen as smoothly as it did or at all.

(online pretty photos for reference)

Shots of the Union Pacific 4014 (aka Big Boy). 4014 is making it's way around the US for our 250 birthday next month. I wish I didn't screw up the video of 4014's whistle directly next to our car. No video will ever do it justice. You had to be there man XD 4014 blew our doors off for the 2nd ti...

I took the kids to see the 4014 Big Boy when it rolled through our town. What a spectacular sight! The sound was so powerful, you could feel it in your chest. My father used to take my brother and me train chasing when we were kids. I love this kind of stuff, and I'm glad my kids got a chance to exp...
