Steam & Excursion > 4014 & the mainstream media

The Big Boy story is now being told on via the mainstrem media. Saw a short but very positive piece on Fox New Channel this morning. The FNC will be having additional segments on all day.  I was thinking if she was still a coal burner president Trump might use her to pull a whistle stop campaign train as he could do his coal industry promotion while he stumped for votes.

   I'm told it will also be on CBS later today. Great PR for UP and well deserved.

He could still use it to pull a coal train and have the same result.

Nice to see the UP getting positive pub.

As far as Trump is concerned, he would just tell everyone it was burning coal anyways. Getting facts straight has never been high on his priority list ;-)

Silly and unnecessary comment that will probably lead to having the whole post deleted at some point.

OP started it

I did send a shout out to Fox and CBS last week to pick this up. I may have helped. I used the Trains Magazine link.

You quoted the wrong post. The original poster's fantasy of a Trump whistle stop tour with 4014 was silly and unnecessary.

my wife just told me that while listening to FOX BUSINESS news this morning, FOX BUSINESS NEWS was talking about the u.p. 4014.........

And now the countdown begins where we wait for someone to come on here and proclaim that, since it's FAUX NEWS, we're not supposed to believe it.

Knock it off. I want to talk about trains here, not Trump.
