I tried to get the video to upload but no results.
Most of the effect is lost without the sound of the grand entrance!

Lived a stones throw from the tracks in Wellborn growing up and saw it several times and got to ride it once.

Envious that you got to ride it. How did you swing that?

Mid/late 90s it was NB and stopped in College Station. We ran into another family we knew there. We heard we could buy tickets so we did and took our friend with us and his mom picked us up in Waco (or Temple, I dont remember...)

It was a cool ride and tons of folks at all the crossings waving.

I didn’t realize there was already a thread on this.

I've been on Big Boy No. 4023 at Kenefick Park in Omaha, it's unbelievable how large these engines are!!

Centennial No. 6900 on the left is the largest and most powerful diesel-electric locomotive ever built!

Big Boy No. 4023 is the world's largest steam locomotive!

Too cool! I never knew that about Kenefick Park!
