For all of You Train Lovers

Union Pacific 4-8-8-4 'Big Boy' on May 10, 2019. That's 1,210,000 pounds sitting there! About three times the weight of a modern main line locomotive.

and those two things may very well seal the fate of this locomotive. The owner has a very inflated value of it's worth, and very serious challenges as far as moving it.
 
Looks like they got their money's worth on this train ride.
Skip to the 35:00 minute then watch for at least 10 minutes.

 
On the road yesterday in NH. This train, carrying hopper cars, is making a return trip from Boston after dumping off its load of sand.

Broad Street Station in Richmond, VA is now a science museum. The architecture of the building is awesome. The interior is beautiful. I can tell you first hand that it was incredibly noisy with all of those hard surfaces and filled with people talking, yelling, walking, and moving luggage.
