Very cool, I wonder what the average passerby thinks when they see all the steam and smoke coming from something like this

That's a great video - guess we can look forward to a lot more drone shots in the future. Just noticed that Big Boy was added to the smokebox door like the original - harks back to the first of the class. Good stuff - thanks for posting it!

Enjoying it also, feels like watching history happen. Union Pacific website lists Laramie arrival time as 1230PM MT.
