Why did they have to get rid of all of the Big Boys? They were great engines. They even got rid of all of their Challengers except 3985. She's the only Challenger that still runs.

In 1950 I was an Engineer on an old Baldwin 4-10-10-2 eith Santa Fe Railway, all of these multi-boiler Steamers were powerful, there weren't very many on the rails due to the Diesel locomotives becoming more popular with the large Railroads. Awesome video of great memories.

The Big Boy was neither the largest or the most powerful steam locomotive built in America. The C&O Allegheny, class H8 2-6-6-6 owns that title. Read any of the books E. Huddleston has written on the Allegheny and especially his World's Greatest Steam Locomotives where he compares the Big Boy, Allegheny and the N&W's A class 2-6-6-4. Very interesting reading. Thanks for posting your video. BTW: Two of the Alleghenies have been preserved. 1601 & 1604. There are videos of both on You Tube.

I've heard the one in Pomona is the best because the whistle is hooked up to comperssed air and you can blow it.
