Great shot here. Thanks for sharing. Union Pacific did well to preserve as many of these as they did. And believe it or not, one of them will be riding the rails again in a few years. they are restoring the #4014 to excursion service!
Gene Walls replied:
Thank you very much, Joseph! I actually watched as the X4014 was moved from Pomona, CA on a live feed. I would love to photograph that Big Boy with a full head of steam someday. Best regards, Gene
