Steam & Excursion > #4014 Big Boy on the Spine LineDate: 07/17/19 19:10 #4014 Big Boy on the Spine Line Author: kschmidt626 Just got back from following the Big Boy from Mason City, IA to Owatonna, MN. It was an OK day. No rain except in Owatonna when the train was stopped. I know that #4014 has been getting alot of attention lately.. I thought I would toss my hat in the ring too.
Shot #1 The sleeping Giant in Mason City. I just need to fix the street light lighting on #4014. Shot #2 The next morning in Mason City, notice the boiler is naked, No "Big Boy" Shot #3 Northbound at Manly, IA Keith Schmidt Keith Schmidt Milwaukee, WI Date: 07/17/19 19:13 Re: #4014 Big Boy on the Spine Line Author: kschmidt626 Shot #4 and #5 and #6 Northbound at Kensett, IA
