Yuh know, it used to be that these things were huge boosts to Kodachrome sales, now it's just a boost for popcorn.

I don't need to see 014 "lift off".  I'll be happy to see it rolling down the track, vs flying through the air!

It might end up being grounded due to heat shield tiles being loose for re-entry.... we'll see.

That picture is the result of having the steam trainline open at the wrong time.

Are they both ALCO powered?

Correctly proportioned, 4014 would only reach 1/3 of the way up that tower. And it weighs about 1/5 what a Saturn V does when both are fueled. Three of 16 Saturn Vs are preserved. Given the new initiative to return to the moon by 2024 (and no clear plan to make that date) maybe Ed Dickens should consider a move to NASA.

Wasn't there some idiot "artist" who was going to hang a steam locomotive as an art exhibit a few years back?

I remember reading that. It was supposed to be a detailed replica due to weight. Never heard anything about it coming to fruition.

IIRC, an LA artist group spent a week or two measuring, working to produce a smaller, similarly hanging copy of 2926's  rebuild in Abq a couple years ago.
Wonder if they were successful, ever displayed?
