Big Boy steam engine

[wytex]

Thought some of you all might be interested in seeing a little railroad history.
The 4014, Big Boy steam engine will be coming through parts of Texas.
It is very impressive and worth going to see.
If you're up in Southern Wyoming right now it will be making it down the rails starting Friday and will stop in most railroad towns along I-80 roughly.

Kinda hard to tell from the map if its going through Rosenberg Tx to get to Houston? If so it will be going by my back yard.

Not sure how the railroad security will be down there but up here in the small towns you could literally touch it and get right next to it for pics.
Find a low key crossing and put some coins on the track for it to smash.
