"Big Boy" coming to PA.

Post by Grace »

This is for Steve and any other train buffs who might live in Pennsylvania. Will you be going to see the "Big Boy" ? I can't imagine shoveling the coal for that large locomotive. But at some time in the past, they converted the fuel source to a fuel-oil blend.

Yes, I am planning to 'chase' it a bit when it is in the Reading area. On my calendar; hope I can find parking...

I’ve chased her a couple of times when she’s come to Colorado. Plan on doing it again when she’s on her way back from PA. The last leg of her tour is Denver - Cheyenne. An impressive machine.

I have to say that I’m impressed that there weren’t any clearance issues.

If you do catch it - what will you do with it?

i’m perfectly comfortable with an older, wiser, more docile Trump.

Catch and release, most likely.
