I must have watched this on VHS hundreds of times as a kid. That last long whistle blast as the train disappears into the sunset still brings a tear to my eye. There will never be anything else quite like a steam locomotive.

Hard to believe the Big Boy is back in service. I never thought I would ever see it happen.

I can never get enough of Big Boy's three chime steam whistle. It makes me feel like I went back in time.

No computers, no electronic calculators. Superior people using their skills as designers, machinists to make a magnificent machine.

We got tired of double-heading the trains, so we built one engine with double the power.
