    Is it looking to be electrified? Sorry, bad joke.

    Is there a story about Big Boy? I seriously don't know, except of course knowing that (coal fired) steam engines are part of our heritage.

    If your post count is higher than your round count, you are a troll.

    Union Pacific still operates two large steam engines and they tour them around the country every summer..

    Saw Big Boy 4012 about 45 years ago

    'Unless a law-abiding individual has a firearm for his or her own defense, the police typically arrive after it is too late. With rigor mortis setting in, they mark and bag the evidence, interview bystanders, and draw a chalk outline on the ground' - Judge Benitez , 2019, Duncan v. Becerra.

    'One of the ordinary modes by which Tyrants accomplish their purpose without resistance is by disarming the people and making it an offense to keep arms.' Supreme Court Justice Joseph Story, 1840.

    They've also got a two letter domain... that's cool and unusual. I figured "up.com" was some sort of marketing engine hype.

    Yeah, this sounds like a cool event. I've been on the Georgetown Railroad. Love looking down into the railyard as I pass it on I-70.

    Can we take trips, either before and into the station, or after and out of the station? Or is it all for show?

    I'm thinking Denver is going to be annoyingly crowded, although the full day event has more activities.

    There are a few other stops within comfortable driving distance.

    I am not smart enough to edit the "title"
