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.

I recall not that long ago when they towed it out of California on it's way to the UP rail yard in Cheyenne.

There aren't too many pieces of machinery more impressive than that. Nice to see it in action!
