Anyone following UP 4014 moves?
Discussion
I'm surprised someone hasn't picked on this yet. Union Pacific has rescued one of their locos from a static display to return it to the mainline. The whole affair so far has been an absolute triumph of PR for UP this link gives an idea of just getting out the display area across a parking lot and onto the mainline. UP Bigboy wheel arrangement 4884, loco doing the first part of the move SD70m 4884. Loco scheduled to move again 28th April behind diesel 4014 http://www.trainmaster.ch/XC-53.htmhttp://www.railgiants.org/union-pacific-big-boy-40...
My brother sent me a link a couple of weeks ago about it's move. Will be quite some feat getting it back to steamable condition.
