I believe they said that Big Boy #4014 will return to steam in the year 2019. Five more years to go......

It's good to see a Big Boy running again. Now a whole new generation will be able to see how amazing these locomotives actually were.

Thanks for the video, Ray. How I wish I could have been up in that cab or the coal bunker.
Interesting that they paced it in that hi-railer. Maybe they're keeping their eyes out for running gear problems.

| Covering it kind of defeats the purpose of a display. Nobody planned for these things to run again when they were put up.
