The Big Boy Will live again one day hopefully! even though only one has fallen there were 24 out there and the deisel that replaced it only had 600 more Hp than the big boy did but the big boy was much faster that the Centinnals!
4005 LIVE ON! (4005 is the one big boy that fell)

Although 4012 is to big for their turntable and they don't have a penny to restore it and the tracks are to weak. But to see one in steam would be a magnificent sight. We are already lucky to have UP Challanger 3985.
