My favorite steam locomotive! Got a DVD and a ton of pictures of the UP Big Boys! Looking of getting a brass HO model of one sometime.

That looks like the one that came threw here last fall. It was HUGE. It came from Cheyan(sp) wyoming and went to Minniapolis for a show then back to Wyoming where its housed.
