idk if this is technically doxing myself because i dont live here but anyway- i got to see the Union Pacific Big Boy make its way through central PA this Wednesday!!

i didn't really know anything about it until scrolling around looking for something to do, but for those who don't know! they were a series of about 25 steam locomotives built between 1941 and 1944, and were retired by 1962. seven of them are on display and one (Big Boy #4014) is still operational, though now is an excusrion service train (i.e. doesn't do the heavy-lifting anymore, he's just showing off after retirement hehe).

i'm not likeeee super into trains, but i still think they're so so cool!! seeing and hearing it in peraon was incredible, that whistle just shook every cell in your body as it passed by some 20ft away... remarkable...

the Big Boy train is overall 132 ft and 9 1/4 in (40.47 m) the wheels use a 4-8-8-4.

Basically its where the wheels are under the train and it is the only locomotive to use such wheels placement, the Union Pacific made the train to haul heaver cargo because the other trains took longer to do it. They had to do a thing called double heading, just using two trains for the job. It was also designed to go 80 mph (130 km/h). There where only ever 25 made, only eight remain and only one is in use (for the tours).

This os the boiler room!!

This is the train, usually "big boy" is written on the upper left of the front of the train.

The y turning to the letter "V" because it was made in WW2 and the "V" meant victory.

Along with these facts the Union Pacific made the Big Boy use lesser grade fuel compared to other steam locomotives.

MORE CARS AND TRAINS!

I'm most proud of the second art because I've finally managed to give wings to the Big Boy, and this giant flying would be freakin EPIC. Also we have a small train commission here, the red one is Finist and the last one is the Moscow underground train we usually call "Nomernoy".

- Did you pluck my feathers?

- N-no...

- Yes, you did. Give them back, please.

Nothing unusual, just a Union Pacific Big Boy clinging to a building trying to find his missing feathers. And you can see one on the first picture😁
