Yeeeeaaaa too bad i cant see it
Note the trip is on the conventional and historic LA&SL route, EXCEPT: on the former 1967 SPT-built West Colton- Palmdale cut-off from WC to Silverwood (‘bout 3/4 mi. west of Summit).
Hate to have some set up on the wrong Rail’
Be safe out there, wear high top boots, bring water, drive only on sand with gravelly rock showing on its surface, likewise don’t park on straight sand.
Use skill…carry good luck, it won’t be a burden.
One More Ride… Way Out There
Please, folks…hit the “submit” button only ONCE. We don’t really need to see multiple copies of your fine comments.
Seeing this going up Cajon Pass, even if just in tow, will be an awesome sight indeed!
Thats awesome

YES I have been waiting since February for it to move I hope to see it in Cheyenne.
2 BIG BOYS in same city at same time on May 8th… 4004 and 4014. A rare occasion…
Please join us at the Laramie Railroad Depot Museum on May 7 and 8. www.laramiedepot.org
Does it have roller bearings? Once rebuilt could 100 O scale Big Boys pull it?
“COULD 100 O scale BIG BOYS pull it”
Only if they have realllllly good “magnatraction” and maybe a diesel helper bringing up the rear.
Thats awesome
I will be on a two week train watching vacation from England and travelling from Denver to Rawlins on May 7th. I’ve got my map out and should make Medicine Bow or somewhere between there and Laramie. A nice bonus!
I’d love to be in Green River when it arrives. That’s the place I last saw a Big Boy, but that time it was under steam and parked under the coaling tower, loading up.
Big Boy No. 4014, excellent
