Steam & Excursion > A Flying Big Boy...Date: 07/19/19 21:58 A Flying Big Boy... Author: theironhorse Early this morning, I shot up to Saint Paul to shoot the Big Boys run to Duluth. I figured I'd catch a few good spot and call it good. These first three images were taken from Como Ave crossing in Saint Paul as she climbed the 1% grade.

After shooting here, I tried to catch up. However, the stop in Bruno was brutal... All the locomotive lickers had pretty much plugged the roads and and I got stuck in a traffic jam for nearly 45 minutes... so I headed west to the Interstate and went straight to Duluth...

The Iron Horse DISCLAIMER!!!! Before anyone gets their panties in a knot.... I am an employee with the BNSF and had obtained permission to shoot on the Grassy Point bridge.    Date: 07/19/19 22:07 Re: A Flying Big Boy... Author: theironhorse Going away shots..

Date: 07/20/19 05:23 Re: A Flying Big Boy... Author: bankshotone Fantastic pictures! Thanks for sharing them.
On a side note I must say that all the hype in the past about the big boy not being able to go over bridges was certainly exaggerated. I seen a picture of the 4014 a few days ago going across a wooden bridge that I wouldn't feel comfortable driving my pickup across... Posted from Android Date: 07/20/19 07:19 Re: A Flying Big Boy... Author: CPRR Some the best shots of the tour. I really like the bridge shots
