The dumb ass was over the top, I apologize.

I am starting to like this board more since the negativity has declined.

I'm surprised a Toyota Tundra isn't towing it.

The only way that would work is if they hooked it to a Chebby

Twenty-five Big Boys were built exclusively for Union Pacific Railroad, the first of which was delivered in 1941. The locomotives were 132 feet long and weighed 1.2 million pounds. Because of their great length, the frames of the Big Boys were "hinged," or articulated, to allow them to negotiate curves. They had a 4-8-8-4 wheel arrangement, which meant they had four wheels on the leading set of "pilot" wheels which guided the engine, eight drivers, another set of eight drivers, and four wheels following which supported the rear of the locomotive.

Wow.

Also:

Omaha, Neb., July 23, 2013 – Union Pacific Railroad today announced it reached an agreement with the Southern California Chapter - Railway & Locomotive Historical Society in Pomona, Calif., to transfer ownership of one of the world's largest steam locomotives, Big Boy No. 4014, back to Union Pacific.

Union Pacific plans to relocate No. 4014 to Cheyenne, Wyo., where Union Pacific's Heritage Fleet Operations team will work to restore it to operating condition. Details regarding those efforts will be made public at a later date.

Union Pacific donated No. 4014 to the historical society December 7, 1961. The locomotive arrived January 8, 1962, at its current display location at the Rail Giants Train Museum in Pomona.

If I was mega rich I would restore it and just cruise up and down the lines flipping off union workers.

It's cool man. I'm just at the point where I'm not going to tolerate shit like this.

It's not called for and this place could be a whole lot better without it.

There are some damn fine people here that are very intelligent and aren't so negative, and that's the reason I stick around.

Now that would be a kick ass commercial to remember. I wonder how much a truck manufacturer would pay for the rights to do that?
