Big Boy
Title:  Big Boy
Description:  Steamtown had, and still has, one of UPs famous Big Boy 4-8-8-4s. Dad shot it at Bellows Falls with my brother John posing next to it, giving some sense of the size. Its now part of the Steamtown NHS collection, next to the parking lot at Scranton.

Birthday girl
Title:  Birthday girl
Description:  My wife(she wasnt yet in this photo) was adventurous, so when I suggested we take a ride behind a steam engine, she was all for it. She posed with one of the drivers on UP 4012 here, four days after her birthday, showing how big they are. She had a good time that day, and would do it again.
