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.
