Take a look at this. Is it an illusion!?
Author: hkyman16

Take a look at this photo and tell me what you think? Believe it or not, taken a few years ago up at Steamtown in Scranton, the smoke you see is not 4012 (of course)- but it's CN 3254 just down the track on the opposite side. Note that the Big Boy's paint job looked a LOT better only a few years back compared to today.

Well...here we go again. Imron paint, no, I doubt it...house paint (maybe). White lettering...the U.P. used aluminum on their locomotives. Poor preparation of the existing surface contributed to the results not lasting. I bet this job went out on bid.

All the pictures of 4012 I've seen make me long for it to come back to the west.
