Have one concern. A national treasure that 4014 is would hate that it not be seen coming in the snow because of the peeriod headlight. A couple portable ditch lights might be called for to increase distance visibility. Yhere are certainly more hazards now than 1949.
Awesome picture. Nothing like a steamer working on a cold and snowy day.
I think UP should buy it and use it as their Christmas card for stockholders!
Trains, trains, wonderful trains. The more you get, the more you toot!
This harkens back to the day when Big Boy ruled the Rockies and worked year 'round building a nation.
Kudos to the photographer!
