You got a nice view of it, too. 
Here in Illinois, the crowd was so big it was hard to even get into a town it was in. 
It spent 3 days in West Chicago, about 5 miles from my home, and an estimated 45,000 people came to see it.
Here are some of the crowd:
It passed through my home town and crossed a bridge where it was above the crowd for a clear view:
It stopped for service in Rochelle IL, so I leapfrogged it to catch it passing at Franklin Grove a little further west:
I don't think anything short of the Second Coming will upstage it for popular excitement.
Carpe Manana!

Glad you saw it too Don. Also nice photos to share with us.
No such luck for me to see her on Long Island Railroad trackage.
Then again Union Pacific never owned the Long Island Railroad.

Seeing a Big Boy in steam, running fast on high iron, is as close to a religious experience as I will probably get! Nice pictures, cherish the experience!!
