a question to everyone who lives in the midwest or anywhere restored
and antique locomotives run... have any of you actually seen this union
pacific big boy 4014 operating on the rails?... ...... to date it has been the
most prestigious and most talked about of all the old locomotives to be
restored put back into action... i would love to see this in person one day...

I used to work with a fella who had an extreme fascination with trains of all sorts. He'd travel far and wide to catch glimpses of them. My only real interest in trains came via the HO Scale ones when I was a kid, though I did grow up only hundreds of feet from a rail yard and tracks. Here in southern (eastern) Ohio we are close to the West Virginia mountains and there are several (Fall) train excursions that me and ALAYwife have wanted to try for the last several years but haven't due to Covid and other scheduling complications. The types of trains are similar (I think) to the ones you've been posting. Here's a link to them.

thanks for the link... ... i got interested in the old trains when we were hiking out in the remote area at kaena point... ..there is elevated berm that runs around part of it... the rest was washed away by erosion....... it still has sections of track from an old narrow gauge railroad that used to run all over oahu before paved roads and highways were built.... ...it mostly carried sugar cane from the cane fields to the sugar mills.... but it also carried passengers.... but anyway.... climbing up on that berm was the first time i had ever seen anything like that... and became an instant antique railroad fan..... ... since then i have come across a lot of old remnants of the railroads here buried under overgrown forests..... they restored part of it out on the west side of the island for a tourist resort.... but it only runs small diesel engine locomotives and pulls open air tourist cars..... and only for a few miles.... nothing like the scenic antique railways on the mainland....
