Garfield Posted July 30, 2013 Posted July 30, 2013 Great news! Union Pacific have announced they've taken back ownership of Big Boy 4014 and intend to return it to steam within the next five years: http://www.railwayage.com/index.php/mechanical/locomotives/up-a-return-to-steam-for-big-boy-4014.html Quote
UP6936 Posted July 30, 2013 Posted July 30, 2013 Wow, that is one huge loco! Even half that would be massive in britain or ireland. Maybe IE will be inspired to return maedb to the mainline... Quote
BosKonay Posted July 30, 2013 Posted July 30, 2013 Wow. Designed to pull 4000 ton trains at 60mph! Quote
Dave Posted July 30, 2013 Posted July 30, 2013 I love the American Big Boys, monster loco. Just goes to show the power of steam. Quote
jhb171achill Posted July 30, 2013 Posted July 30, 2013 Yes, "Maedb" would be something else, wouldn't it! Back on the Cork line, with 20 assorted Bredins and wooden coaches behind it..... (or 20 pocket wagons!) Quote
