The Union Pacific Big Boy, an articulated 4-8-8-4 steam locomotive manufactured by the American Locomotive Company in 1941. Here, the Big Boy had just crossed the East Branch North Fork Feather River and was parked waiting for a VIP passenger (7/11/2025). I really couldn't have been in a better spot. I thought it was just going to roll by at that location. When it stopped, I thought, "For me?" Lol!
