Elder, you've actually been in the presence of a UP Big Boy hauling a load down the tracks? I'm jealous
Not that I'm anxious to be old enough to have seen one (too old already...) but gawd-almighty I love steam locomotives and if the Big Boy wasn't at the top of the food chain I don't know what locomotive was! Sadly they went out of service about 3 months before I was born
