Forgive me, I still counting wheels, but then again that was the biggest thing I ever seen! I wanted to play on it, play, as I did as a child at the Franklin Institute when nobody was lookin.That is NOT a Big Boy in the Henry Ford. It is an Allegheny.

The 60000 was another one of a kind steam locomotive that was ahead of it's time. The 60000 is a 3 cylinder locomotive with roller bearings on all wheels. I'm happy someone had the vision to save her for future generations.Forgive me, I still counting wheels, but then again that was the biggest thing I ever seen!

Sorry to hear that. Any chance of a recall in the future?Union Pacific has been reducing their locomotive and freight car fleet recently as part of their implementation of precision schedule railroading. The downside is I got furloughed after only seven months of employment.
A very slim chance. A journeyman bumped me since I am the lowest set up apprentice. There are more layoffs coming so more journeyman will look for spots to bump to. It was a good seven months. I can’t complain too much. There are people out there much worse off than I am. My former boss and I are working on getting me rehired at Wabtec. I would continue traveling the US, Canada and Saudi Arabia teaching about air brakes and related items. I do miss the traveling. And i’ll be back to working during the day with weekends off!Sorry to hear that. Any chance of a recall in the future?
