[quote]QUOTE: Originally posted by garyn307 A couple of years ago I read that a Big Boy was being restored to running condition to star in a movie called "Big Boy". Does anyone know what happened to this movie or is coming out later? Gary Allen [/quote] The story was about the engine at the Age of Steam at Dallas. They actually moved the engine with a diesel for the publicity shots and planned to use it in a movie. The producer never got the money and no work was done on the engine. It was highly publicized at the time, but it would seem it was all hype. A Big Boy running again would be nice, but don't count on it. I would expect to see the Cab Forward at Sacramento to run before a Big Boy is restored, and the chances of that engine running is about the same as all of us winning the lottery at the same time.
