Impressive engine very nicely captured! Wonder if any proceeds from the transfer of the Big Boy back to UP could find their way towards replacing the boiler sheets on #9000? I'll be most non-railfans probably think that's how the engine always looked.... 4-12-2, still - wow!

Words don't begin to do this beauty justice. Caught me off-guard when I first saw the photo. Magnificent photo and more-than-magnificent locomotive !

I wish the UP could have done a two for one deal. As nice as the Big Boy is, wouldn't it have been something to hear three barrels of steam thundering down the tracks again?!
Nice shot Nathanial! I see you didn't use the shot were my shoe was in front if your lens!

Outstanding. Best shot I have ever seen of 9000 since her say in Pomona began

Post to Steve and Mitch, UP is in the works in reclaiming their old steam engines and repairing them to be running again. Two that the are getting back is 9000 and 4014.
