Magnificent tonnage of steel. Can't hardly believe such a
beast can wend its way among those sore, and tired
side tracks as gracefully as a ballerina. Thanks for posting,
Busss, this is my first glimpse at this astonishing locomotive.

Still going through pics video (ALOT) CAN NOT FIND THE PIC OF MY HAND TOUCHING 4014 
At any rate some pics from Forney in CO where 4005
The only one to suffer in a accident
It is a transportation museum with MANY items form horse wagons to airplanes and possibly their crown jewel
And THOUGH you could see the interior at Ogden HERE you got a better view The cab is accesible but has cage in front
For such a big loco you would think the coal tender would be bigger
And just behind a big plate glass door you get this view

also 4005 is THE common one to find in vintage HO scale! 
I just read about the accident: https://www.forneymuseum.org/News_BigBoyWreck.html
pretty neat
Sorry for the people that were killed in the accident 
Still a great record for a locomotive that went millions of miles without a accident
