What a amazing piece of machinery. I'm glad to see it brought back to life.

This is not Big Boy, but a great video of one the large steam locomotives in action.

I love steam locomotives since I was five. I never can get enough of them.

When I was a teen I saw for the first time a picture of a Big Boy. Oh my God!!!

Thanks so much for sharing this!!!

All we had 'round here was Tweetsie..a narrow-gage railway that operated in the mountains.

This one was cool. Seeing the mechanics up close.

I sure would like one of these in my backyard to play with.

Had seen it here in SoCal and sad to see it go, but happy it will be restored to its former glory and running the rails again!

When it's back under its own steam, I am going to go see (and hear) it, wherever it is.
