The Big Boy through Newport

Bad news though: the Hard Hat was closed up tight despite claiming to open at 9am.

Nice shot.

Sadly, even a fence can't keep people 25 feet away from the tracks.

What an exercise in excess. Fitting, I guess.

Thanks for the vid, tho'. Saves the two hours of driving to see it in person.

Impressive.  I don't care what the complainers say, that UP flag scheme looks fantastic, especially all clean.

The amount of unsafe behavior was insane. There was a family who posed for a photo in the gauge of 50mph track.

I hope NS PD are monitoring social media and following up with citations.

This.  100% this.

Big Boy came through Pittsburgh this Saturday. Local media and social media was loaded with photos and videos. No injuries to my knowledge despite track trespass violations pretty much the entire route.

At the vantage point I chose, it was moving about 30 MPH. So it was a brief encounter but impressive. A unique way to spend a Saturday evening with the community.

Some guy I picked up off the side of the road on the way up.

Countermeasures deployed.

In another video by that same guy they actually stop the train and yell at a guy standing too close. Then take off.

As much as I want to see 4014, I don't want to deal with the Foamers, Morons, Self-Entitles Children/families, and Overzealous Boomers.

I live on the Seattle Sub, If it ever comes this far, I'll try to catch it as it's runs by. The town I live in has a park right beside the main crossing into town, that seems to have been forgotten by the Foamers.

At Mt. Union, the local Leos were busy going up and down the old station steps to shoe people off the tracks.
