Good one Ted. I thought of the same thing - you said it graphically!

One is trying to rail money from the public, one is being funded by private backers. While I'll fly out to where ever to see a Big Boy once, I'll ride behind 611 as many times as I can.

OK CSX, pull that C&O Allegheny out of the B&O Museum and get her running! I can see it now, double-headed with the Big Boy for an NRHS convention! Sorry, only dreaming.

I'm also lookin' forward to a DM&IR "Yellowstone" in my lifetime. So far the rebirths seem to be getting bigger though.

I was going to say the same. Think CN would ever allow it?

Well, if anybody was in St. Louis in 1990, they could have seen:

1) UP 844
2) NS 1218
3) Frisco 1522
4) Cotton Belt 819

Four big steam locos, and they all pulled trips! Does it get better than that? Not so far in my lifetime.

What you guys are looking for is the SP cab forward, coupler to coupler with the Big Boy.
