So I found out today that the Union Pacific Big boy 4014 is coming to town! As some of you know the manly man is a big rail fan, and truth be told I have always had a thing for the big boy since I seen it on TV some years ago.
The locomotive is doing a tour through the Midwest called race through the Midwest. I will post the schedule link here:

If by chance this train comes through your state please go see it! Me and my family will be going this Saturday early morning.
Now for the strange part of the story, last night at a resale shop I found a big boy 4014 cap for the manly man.

Is it operational? Pictures I could find show it it being towed and pushed with 2 other engines, one fore and another aft.

Went west about a month ago. Several videos on youtube of it. Looks to be under its own power

This beast went under a complete over haul that took 2 years! It's moving on its own.
Later that evening will also be my ELO concert, busy Saturday.

Pretty awesome looking engine. Manly man should enjoy that!
Jealous that you're going to see ELO ...one of my old favorites. Saw them in Chicago back in the late 70's or maybe early 80's.

Tried that, after 3 attempts and 3.5 hours. Each time there was an error.
