Big Boy 4014 Polar Express to Cheyenne, WY

Описание: Big Boy's final run of 2019 was the leg from a stop at Greeley, CO https://www.cmrm.org/event/big-boy-st... to the steam shop in Cheyenne, WY. After 3 major tours across the UPRR system the final hours are like the Polar Express. Departing Greeley the Big Boy storms north to Eaton then charges thru Ault Then off to greet the frozen fans waiting for him at the Pierce water tower after knocking down the miles into Nunn. The Whistle for that crossing is so strong that it knocks some snow off the Quonset hut as it passes the elevator there! Folks have lined the the bridge on 85 to see this Big Boy roll by. Full steam north to the last town in Colorado along these tracks and well off any main roads Carr, Colorado. Then catch up to the mighty Big Boy rolling along Lincoln way eastbound into Cheyenne, WY announcing his arrival at the Cutler Road crossing. Almost there the final bridge, as 4014 slow rolls over Ames Ave. But before the 4014 leaves the mainline for the final time this year they take off of the freight cars and dig out the switch. The 4-8-8-4 can see the steam shop but the TV crew needs to get their report for the 5 o'clock news. https://www.wyomingnewsnow.tv/content... Only to find that the final grade crossing is so packed with snow the steam crew has to dig out just one more (time lapse) before the sun goes down and the snow starts to fly.
