Any "Big Boys" restored and running that you know of?

John,

I don't know where you are located in the US. If you want to see a Big Boy on display, there's one at Steamtown in Scranton, PA and one in Omaha, Nebraska. Here's a cool link about movin' UP #4023 that's definitely worth a see:

None, all survivors are inactive and on display and likely never will be restored again to active use. It simply would cost too much (est $2M last time some one considered it, 10 years ago), today the boiler would likely need to be replaced , theres virtually no where left equipped to handle a loco of its size anymore.

PS only ONE Challenger, #3985, is still active, the other UP active steam loco is 4-8-4 #844.

I know UP has one or two Challengers running out of Wyoming, but I was wondering if there is an active running Big Boy somewhere?
