If you get a chance go check out this massive steam Locomotive. It’s a once in a lifetime chance to see what I think is something pretty awesome.

Oh some may know I’m a bit biased having worked for UP & Southern Pacific RR

There is a working steam engine in the WI automotive museum in Hartford, WI - they pull it out and run it around at Christmas each year - but its not nearly as big as that thing.

Very cool. Would be awesome to see it roll (rumble?) into Truckee.

It’s hard to imagine how massive steam locomotives are until you get next to one…and moving at 60mph is unreal.

Think how civilized and calming and perhaps even healthier we and the planet would be if Boeing and Airbus did not exist and we and freight travelled by rail and ship.

Absurd, I know.
