@gonzo80009871 LOL but it is in the shop for a boiler overhaul they are trying to convert it to use less water because it always overheats and since #3985 was taken out of service and put on display in the 1970s before it joined the steam program it rusted so they need to repair the boiler before it goes back on the rails.

@geomodelrailroader 3985? i do believe that challanger loco is still going it was as of 2 or 3 years ago
-
@gonzo80009871 LOL my mistake but august fifth of 1959 was when steam was shutdown on UP except for #844 of course
-
@geomodelrailroader just to let you know your year of service are a bit off the big boy was interduced in 1941 and the fores where forever put out in 1961 exept for 1 or 2 that ran some up untill almost 1970

I love the Alleghenys also, The DMIR 2-8-8-4's were also some big ass powerful engines. I associate Big Boys with WWII. Yea I know, most of all of the big articulateds were running then. What a time that must have been to be a rail fan.
-
@foroke1 It has a unique smell from what I remember
-
@BooBoo0818 I think the smoke smells good. If it's a coal burner anyway.

The Kings of the Rails the mighty Big Boys too bad UP got rid of them. they rulled the rails for ten years and UP snuffed their fires and bought Dash 9s instead.

@996TwinTurbo911 True as that may be. The steam locomotive has a louder whistle. if I'm no mistaken. sorry if I sound rude.

Actually, the Allegheny was taller, heavier and had far more horsepower. Big Boys, while awesome, are not matches for the Allegheny in these regards.

Has no one heard of the Union Pacific Huge Boy?
(It's a real Loco, just it's been scraped)
