Union Pacific 4014 steaming through Ames

[Designer]

Union Pacific's "Big Boy" is fully restored and put on an exhibition run through the midwest.

Lots of people at each crossing.

Preschoolers right up to the line.

The TV news videographer was there.

Oh, here it comes! Oh, wait, never mind. Freight takes precedence.

Here it really comes!

The whistle is LOUD!

Awesome! I've been following the restoration. Great to see her on the high iron again!

Pretty cool. Makes me think of the President George H.W. Bush train and the pictures and video ofi it crossing the country and all the people there to see it.

Friends of mine saw it in Northern Illinois, said it was awesome
