Description Just a little thing I whipped up in RAILWORKS to celebrate the 149th anniversary of the completion of the Transcontinental Railroad

The 1-year clock is ticking now for Union Pacific to complete one of their most ambitious projects before the 150th anniversary of the Transcontinental Railroad: the complete restoration of UP 4-8-8-4 "Big Boy" #4014 to operating condition. The project is being carried out at the UP shops in Cheyenne, WY, and with the goal of completing the 4014's restoration by this time next year, a scene just like this one is not too far off! Here is to seeing this beast under steam next year!

I wonder how many railfans would be there.

Probably more than when 611 returnd to steam!

I'd imagine. At least UP doesn't have to worry about Amtrak's ridiculous policy changes.

For sure! Let's just hope that a number of the runs will be open to the public to ride on, rather than some of the recent tours that 844 has done to Boise and Memphis

Well, I'll be doing both the C&O E8 and F7, mainly the gold, blue and silver one the 8016 wore.

You don't happen to have any side views of the 8016, do you?

I got some pics of the engineer's side of 8016. Does that work for you?
