[ADXA] Off subject - but Cool!

[Richard Harris]

One of my other hobbies is train photography -  Happened to
catch the Union Pacific Steam Schedule for "Big Boy" 4-8-8-4
and see it goes thru Arkansas in August - Kids and Grandkids
(and you!) might be interested to see # 4014.

Twenty-five Big Boys were built exclusively for Union Pacific Railroad, the
first of which was delivered in 1941. The locomotives were 132 feet long
and weighed 1.2 million pounds. Because of their great length, the frames
of the Big Boys were "hinged," or articulated, to allow them to negotiate
curves. They had a 4-8-8-4 wheel arrangement, which meant they had four
wheels on the leading set of "pilot" wheels which guided the engine, eight
drivers, another set of eight drivers, and four wheels following which
supported the rear of the locomotive. The massive engines normally operated
between Ogden, Utah, and Cheyenne, Wyo.

I'll be heading to Cheyenne next week.... 73 Rick AI5P
