                      None of the eight remaining Big Boys are in operable condition. Looking at it, you could see that they disconnect the valve gear and and some of the connecting rods.

                      Andy said they do have to move it back and forth every now and then so it doesn't cause damage to the rail from the excessive weight. So the lack of complete connecting rods makes sense, 'cause it would be easier to move with another locomotive.

                        Would be nice to see one of those running. Isn't there a running Challenger somewhere?

                          Union Pacific is still running a Challenger, number 3985. Oil fired I think. And they run a 4-8-4 Northern as well. They only run out west. http://www.up.com/aboutup/special_tr...am/index.shtml

                          It's getting hard to find anyone willing to take care of the steamers anymore. And with the price it costs to restore one to operable condition, the chance of seeing a Big Boy back in service is slim to none...and slim just went home.
