I got to see Big Boy traveling under it's own steam through Laramie back in the late 1990's.  I lived in Laramie at the time and was returning from home to work at lunch-time when it was riding through town.  It was a jaw dropping experience.

I believe the UP Big Boys were ther biggest steam loco's ever made. I've watched DVD's of them in action wow!  Went track side this evening but no action. There has been some accidents about and I guess the regular traffic has been rerouted.

Believe Big Boys were the longest with a total length of 132'. Some of the 2-6-6-6 Alleghenys were heavier, and some Alleghenys and Yellowstones (2-8-8-4) and others had higher tractive force. However those were straight freight locomotives, whereas the Big Boys could haul heavy passenger trains at 90mph.

Allegheny

(some very heavy metal)

Some very heavy metal indeed.  8)   I'd forgot about those. The 4-6-6-4 Challenger was a neat steam loco also. The Shay geared steam locomotives are  8) also.

Shays are cool. :tu:  Never seen one in action but I have seen them in museums.  Anyone ever been on the Mt. Washington cog railway?  I remember doing it as a kid.  Too bad nowadays they're all diesels.
There's no such thing as "Too pretty to carry".  There's only "Too pretty NOT to carry"...... >:D

Big Boys get all the press, but UP never ordered any after the first batch of 25. They operated well over 100 Challengers, which were in regular use long after the last Big Boy was retired. UP's main steam excursion loco is a Challenger.

I rode the Mt Washington cog railroad a number of years ago. It had an odd looking inclined steamer. Didn't know they had gone to diesels.

The Georgetown Loop Scenic Railroad west of Denver has several old locos. The one time I rode it the motive power was an old Shay. Very interesting.

Kirk,

Had a question about #16. Is that a crossing in the foreground? If so, it looks like it might be tricky to navigate
