Andy's Angles: Big Boy

 



I had an extra day off late last month, and it was a "sterling" day, as our old friend J. Kristopher would say.

I hadn't been to Steamtown in months, and even though there is rarely anything new here, I decided to walk around with my camera, anyway.  I took a ton of photos, nothing you haven't seen before.  I'll sprinkle them in during the next couple of months.

Above is Steamtown's signature piece, the giant Union Pacific Big Boy.  It has a new coat of paint and some other aesthetic improvements.  

I've seen Big Boy's brethren fired up in videos and it's impressive to say the least.  This one doesn't move, but it is nice to look at.
