If you're not a train nerd, just LOOK AT THE SIZE OF THAT FUCKING THING...

But is that going to pass through St. Louis? I wanna see!

If St Louis is on the Union Pacific network then I expect it'll come that way some time this year. They're taking it on tour after the Spike 150 thing is done.

I'll have to see. I sometimes work with a guy who has an encyclopedic knowledge of all railroad stuff. I'll ask him

....but is that a 4-8-8-4, or is it a 4-16-4? (with a mere 4-8-4 behind it).
Either way, it is definitely A Big Fucker and makes the 0-6-0 I had on me train set a bit lame.....
