Maybe the now alleged bailed donor was thought best kept quiet... /Mitch Date: 04/15/14 16:27 Re: UP 4014 Big Boy story by Associated Press Author: Cannonball4012 Is it being pulled by anything special, or just the usual filthy UP power?

Can't wait to see it come through. Was surprised I didn't see the schedule here on Trainorders first, but I've been on vacation so I'm sure I missed it.

My congratulations to the U.P. for "working the story" to get every bit of favorable PR out of the Big Boy restoration. Good job. U.P., you deserve it all. Lets get her running!
