The Big Boy moves from Dallas to Frisco today

[Frank]

Movement in progress. I understand it is just about/or just has joined the UP mainline. I wish I could set up along the route to see it in person. Live blog going on here. Not sure if it has made it to Union Station yet or not.

I got all excited that a new line had opened up. Frisco is closer than Plano, dammit

You are probably going to have to explain was Big Boy is.

[Binky]

Its a fucking giant steam locomotive.

Bad fucking ass.

Be nice.

Is it under its own power?

[Trip McNeely]

Be nice.

I was nice until it was time to not be nice.

[Binky]

Is it under its own power?

Being towed by a diesel and limited to 10mph.

Last time a big boy was on main tracks was 40years ago.

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

And that`s such a shame. I've heard the Fair Park Big Boy is just too far gone to restore. There was a movie deal with the Big Boy a few years ago, with talk of restoration, but it all fell through somehow.

My first thought. I haven't seen one in years though.
