Viewing Album:  Union Pacific 4014 Big Boy in Topeka
 
By:Matthew Zisi
Dates:11/19/2019 - 11/20/2019
Album Info:Well, I've been busy lately...but not too busy to watch trains. Particularly today, with the Union Pacific Big Boy coming through! It was stopping at the Great Overland Station, Union Pacific's old station on the north side of the river, but I set up for it just east of there at Porubsky's curve...and boy, was it a treat to see come through! Low whistle, churning driving wheels--it was incredible! If it comes through your town, cancel work or call off school, but definitely check it out!

Description:  I wasnt going to miss seeing it again the next day, so I tracked it to Silver Lake to get a good spot by the track. Even in that small town, the crowds were enormous!

UP 4014 8824
Title:  UP 4014 8824
Description:  Not sure what the diesel was for-whether it was backup or just to power the coaches, but I can assure you, the steam engine was doing the brunt of the work.

Description:  Not sure what was in these, but they were all added after the train reached Topeka. Maybe they figured they could get some freight moved at the same time?
