Can you still go into the cabs?? Now the Centennial sits next to the Big Boy. When we were there this time they were working on the walkways in that area and could not get into the cabs, but that was temporary and I'm sure the cabs of these locos are again open to the public. I also have some pics of workers restoring the Aerotrain ath the museum, a project which is probably finished by now. I will have to post them sometime. Ron

QUOTE: Originally posted by n2mopac I couldn't resist posting this pic that I ran across today. I took this of my son a couple of years ago (he was 4 then) next to the Big Boy at the Museum of Transportation in St. Louis (Kirkwood), MO. Really puts the size of these behemoths in perspective, doesn't it? Ron
