1
00:00:00,160 --> 00:00:01,639
Speaker 1: Big Boy forty fourteen.

2
00:00:02,320 --> 00:00:03,480
Speaker 2: I don't know what that reference is.

3
00:00:03,520 --> 00:00:07,560
Speaker 3: Then it sounds like you are referring to one of

4
00:00:07,600 --> 00:00:13,000
Speaker 3: their restaurant locations. No, but was this I mean, it's

5
00:00:13,600 --> 00:00:15,800
Speaker 3: I guess been in the news. But was there a

6
00:00:15,880 --> 00:00:17,239
Speaker 3: video from a few days ago?

7
00:00:17,600 --> 00:00:24,439
Speaker 1: Yes? Yes, Big Boy forty fourteen. Diane is a one

8
00:00:24,520 --> 00:00:30,440
Speaker 1: point two million pound locomotive that was built in nineteen

9
00:00:30,600 --> 00:00:34,800
Speaker 1: forty one and it's a big deal this summer because

10
00:00:35,200 --> 00:00:37,600
Speaker 1: it made its way to the east coast.

11
00:00:37,760 --> 00:00:38,960
Speaker 2: And it never has before.

12
00:00:39,280 --> 00:00:42,920
Speaker 1: I don't know the last time that it has. Ummm,

13
00:00:44,080 --> 00:00:47,160
Speaker 1: let me see. Built in nineteen forty one to haul

14
00:00:47,280 --> 00:00:53,200
Speaker 1: heavy freight across the Wasatch Mountains between Utah and Wyoming,

15
00:00:53,840 --> 00:00:57,320
Speaker 1: made its way east of the Mississippi on its first

16
00:00:57,360 --> 00:01:03,080
Speaker 1: coast to coast tour. Now it didn't come through DC,

17
00:01:04,959 --> 00:01:09,840
Speaker 1: but it did go through Pennsylvania. It made stops in

18
00:01:09,920 --> 00:01:13,000
Speaker 1: Valley Forge, It made stops in Concha Hawkin, which is

19
00:01:13,120 --> 00:01:18,720
Speaker 1: really just right outside of Philly. The number of people

20
00:01:18,760 --> 00:01:24,040
Speaker 1: that two things happen. People flocked flocked to go see

21
00:01:24,080 --> 00:01:28,080
Speaker 1: the train, and a lot of people when they saw

22
00:01:28,120 --> 00:01:29,640
Speaker 1: it cried.

23
00:01:31,360 --> 00:01:36,760
Speaker 4: Are these the the train? I'm not going to say

24
00:01:36,760 --> 00:01:39,120
Speaker 4: a fishing, not as I'll say, freaks that we've talked

25
00:01:39,160 --> 00:01:39,720
Speaker 4: about before.

26
00:01:40,080 --> 00:01:41,440
Speaker 1: Way to choose the kind of word.

27
00:01:43,319 --> 00:01:47,600
Speaker 5: No, good luck having one of them called freaking a

28
00:01:47,640 --> 00:01:49,840
Speaker 5: good way the no. No, you don't have to be

29
00:01:49,880 --> 00:01:52,800
Speaker 5: an offician noado like you. You wouldn't necessarily know everything

30
00:01:52,840 --> 00:01:56,520
Speaker 5: about trees. Yeah, but you made no no.

31
00:01:56,600 --> 00:01:59,600
Speaker 1: But there are some people that said the train is

32
00:01:59,800 --> 00:02:02,440
Speaker 1: so so impressive, like you.

33
00:02:03,160 --> 00:02:06,080
Speaker 2: Don't see steam locomotives typically anymore.

34
00:02:06,160 --> 00:02:09,040
Speaker 1: This is the size of this, the size of it

35
00:02:09,080 --> 00:02:11,799
Speaker 1: is supposed I mean again, it's one of those you know,

36
00:02:11,919 --> 00:02:14,680
Speaker 1: I've always said, like I can't imagine seeing the size

37
00:02:14,680 --> 00:02:17,560
Speaker 1: of a redwood that I would cry. There are people

38
00:02:17,600 --> 00:02:21,200
Speaker 1: who said, seeing this, yes, maybe you have to care

39
00:02:21,200 --> 00:02:23,520
Speaker 1: about trains. Maybe you don't the ones that dress like

40
00:02:23,600 --> 00:02:26,000
Speaker 1: conductors to go out and see it. I'm with you.

41
00:02:26,200 --> 00:02:28,560
Speaker 1: Who No, I'm I'm about.

42
00:02:28,200 --> 00:02:30,080
Speaker 3: Your old podcast podcast hosts.

43
00:02:30,080 --> 00:02:36,360
Speaker 6: Oh oh yeah absolutely, Ernie pist Tucker's it was Bernie,

44
00:02:36,400 --> 00:02:38,520
Speaker 6: And I wonder if Bernie made his way there he

45
00:02:38,639 --> 00:02:40,760
Speaker 6: was going to cover it when it was in Consha.

46
00:02:40,600 --> 00:02:42,360
Speaker 3: Hockey guarantee you he did.

47
00:02:42,639 --> 00:02:44,720
Speaker 1: I thought you were talking about the old Ze one

48
00:02:44,800 --> 00:02:45,639
Speaker 1: hundred engineer.

49
00:02:45,880 --> 00:02:47,919
Speaker 3: No, you guys didn't host the podcast together.

50
00:02:48,120 --> 00:02:50,680
Speaker 1: No, no, but I guarantee you he went there and

51
00:02:50,800 --> 00:02:53,840
Speaker 1: recorded it and then masturbated to the sound of it.

52
00:02:54,360 --> 00:02:55,079
Speaker 1: That was his thing.

53
00:02:55,360 --> 00:02:58,080
Speaker 3: But these photos, it looks almost like the ratios are

54
00:02:58,120 --> 00:03:00,919
Speaker 3: off with the human beings and the train, like someone

55
00:03:01,160 --> 00:03:04,040
Speaker 3: has a model set in their basement and didn't get

56
00:03:04,080 --> 00:03:07,800
Speaker 3: the right scale. Because the people look so tiny.

57
00:03:08,240 --> 00:03:11,160
Speaker 1: The size of the train is unbelievable. Kristin, will you

58
00:03:11,200 --> 00:03:13,079
Speaker 1: do me a favor? Will you see if you can

59
00:03:13,120 --> 00:03:16,080
Speaker 1: find me. I'm looking for one of two sets of people,

60
00:03:16,600 --> 00:03:20,920
Speaker 1: either people who know about the Big Boy and Big

61
00:03:20,960 --> 00:03:24,119
Speaker 1: Boy forty fourteen. I believe that it wasn't the only

62
00:03:24,160 --> 00:03:26,480
Speaker 1: one that was made. There were twenty five Big Boy

63
00:03:26,560 --> 00:03:31,760
Speaker 1: locomotives that were built in the nineteen forties. Only eight

64
00:03:31,919 --> 00:03:36,040
Speaker 1: Big Boys exist today, and forty fourteen is the only

65
00:03:36,080 --> 00:03:38,000
Speaker 1: one that moves.

66
00:03:38,520 --> 00:03:40,680
Speaker 2: I don't know where they are, the ones in like museums.

67
00:03:40,720 --> 00:03:45,920
Speaker 1: I have no idea. Maybe one of your quote freaks

68
00:03:46,280 --> 00:03:47,240
Speaker 1: knows the answer to that.

69
00:03:47,360 --> 00:03:50,400
Speaker 3: We say, rail fans. We've heard that in the past,

70
00:03:51,520 --> 00:03:54,360
Speaker 3: Diane saying no, she wants to go with the effort.

71
00:03:55,080 --> 00:04:03,920
Speaker 1: Okay, that's my big Boy, that's your effort. Big Boy

72
00:04:03,960 --> 00:04:09,400
Speaker 1: forty fourteen started its tour in April and Sacramento, that,

73
00:04:09,520 --> 00:04:13,280
Speaker 1: of course, was where the eastward construction of the Transcontinental

74
00:04:13,360 --> 00:04:18,320
Speaker 1: Railroad began in eighteen sixty three. After stops including Indiana, Ohio,

75
00:04:18,360 --> 00:04:22,560
Speaker 1: and New York, the train is traveling back west towards Cheyenne, Wyoming,

76
00:04:22,960 --> 00:04:26,000
Speaker 1: where it will arrive on July twenty ninth. So anyway, Chris,

77
00:04:26,040 --> 00:04:28,040
Speaker 1: I was looking for one of two sets of people.

78
00:04:28,120 --> 00:04:31,040
Speaker 1: Number one, people who know about the Big Boy engines

79
00:04:31,160 --> 00:04:35,360
Speaker 1: or the Big Boy trains. Number Two, I don't know

80
00:04:35,360 --> 00:04:40,279
Speaker 1: if we'll find anybody. Did anybody see it? Did anybody

81
00:04:40,400 --> 00:04:42,719
Speaker 1: whether you went to see it intentionally or you just

82
00:04:42,800 --> 00:04:46,520
Speaker 1: happened to see it. I'm dying to know what it

83
00:04:46,560 --> 00:04:49,160
Speaker 1: looked like in person. I bet listen. I don't care

84
00:04:49,160 --> 00:04:54,680
Speaker 1: about trains. I mean, I don't hate them. I'd love

85
00:04:54,720 --> 00:05:01,160
Speaker 1: to take like a long trip on a train. Conversations

86
00:05:01,160 --> 00:05:05,640
Speaker 1: with Bernie started, Yes, like the the I like I

87
00:05:05,800 --> 00:05:10,080
Speaker 1: like it. I like an Amtrak, I like a subway

88
00:05:10,160 --> 00:05:14,279
Speaker 1: or a metro. But I mean, this is a massive,

89
00:05:15,160 --> 00:05:19,760
Speaker 1: massive train. Is it one of those where even if

90
00:05:19,800 --> 00:05:24,080
Speaker 1: you didn't care about trains normally, you're behind two bars

91
00:05:24,120 --> 00:05:28,040
Speaker 1: waiting for it, and without question, it is the longest

92
00:05:28,040 --> 00:05:30,280
Speaker 1: train in the world because you got to get somewhere.

93
00:05:31,480 --> 00:05:34,359
Speaker 1: But if you saw the Big Boy go rolling through,

94
00:05:34,880 --> 00:05:38,080
Speaker 1: would you be like, oh my god, look at that?

95
00:05:39,120 --> 00:05:41,360
Speaker 2: Is it aspiring Kansas City last night?

96
00:05:41,839 --> 00:05:45,760
Speaker 1: Yeah? Well, now it's making its way back. Look at

97
00:05:45,760 --> 00:05:47,279
Speaker 1: the steam coming out of that thing.

98
00:05:49,200 --> 00:05:51,919
Speaker 3: You just and I know people who have seen it

99
00:05:51,920 --> 00:05:54,200
Speaker 3: in person will say the pictures don't do justice. But

100
00:05:54,240 --> 00:05:57,360
Speaker 3: the pictures alone are unbelievable.

101
00:05:57,600 --> 00:05:58,360
Speaker 1: They really are.

102
00:05:59,360 --> 00:06:06,159
Speaker 3: According to we are Railfans dot com, there's.

103
00:06:05,600 --> 00:06:08,720
Speaker 1: Also the same if you type in the the U

104
00:06:08,839 --> 00:06:11,279
Speaker 1: R L, the same thing for we have No Friends

105
00:06:11,360 --> 00:06:14,080
Speaker 1: dot Com goes to the same landing page.

106
00:06:14,920 --> 00:06:19,840
Speaker 3: So you're saying redirectit. Yes, they are in museums in Dallas,

107
00:06:19,880 --> 00:06:21,719
Speaker 3: Green Bay, San Louis.

108
00:06:21,720 --> 00:06:24,880
Speaker 1: Oh, the other Big Boys Denver. Oh, we're going to

109
00:06:24,920 --> 00:06:25,480
Speaker 1: be in Denver.

110
00:06:26,000 --> 00:06:28,440
Speaker 3: Do you want to go to the Foreigny Museum of Transportation?

111
00:06:28,560 --> 00:06:28,960
Speaker 7: Diane?

112
00:06:30,440 --> 00:06:34,320
Speaker 2: That faith I wasn't looking was it positive? It was

113
00:06:34,320 --> 00:06:36,760
Speaker 2: a big after we take Elliott to the antique shop.

114
00:06:38,000 --> 00:06:39,080
Speaker 3: So you're mocking it.

115
00:06:39,120 --> 00:06:39,480
Speaker 2: Stuff?

116
00:06:40,200 --> 00:06:42,960
Speaker 1: Where am I going? Christen Line six? Hi Elliot in

117
00:06:42,960 --> 00:06:52,960
Speaker 1: the morning? Yeah, Hi, who's this I'm sorry, you're out

118
00:06:52,960 --> 00:06:55,839
Speaker 1: of Oh you're out of Denver. Oh dude, Yeah, we'll

119
00:06:55,839 --> 00:06:59,159
Speaker 1: be there soon. Hey, what what are you calling me about?

120
00:06:59,160 --> 00:06:59,520
Speaker 1: To train?

121
00:07:01,240 --> 00:07:01,480
Speaker 8: Yeah?

122
00:07:01,560 --> 00:07:03,600
Speaker 9: So I saw a big boy actually a couple of

123
00:07:03,680 --> 00:07:07,119
Speaker 9: months ago. And what you're talking about with how big

124
00:07:07,160 --> 00:07:10,480
Speaker 9: it is, So it was kind of out in the

125
00:07:10,480 --> 00:07:11,480
Speaker 9: middle of nowhere.

126
00:07:11,960 --> 00:07:13,160
Speaker 3: But I'm a.

127
00:07:12,800 --> 00:07:15,520
Speaker 9: Noble diesel mechanic and it's loud enough. I was working

128
00:07:15,760 --> 00:07:18,200
Speaker 9: right next to a big diesel engine and I can

129
00:07:18,320 --> 00:07:21,240
Speaker 9: hear it because it's since it's a steam engine, it

130
00:07:21,320 --> 00:07:24,239
Speaker 9: sounds really you hate, right, and then when you see it,

131
00:07:24,240 --> 00:07:26,720
Speaker 9: it's just it's bigger than any train you've ever seen.

132
00:07:26,880 --> 00:07:29,040
Speaker 9: And then on top of it, it has all the

133
00:07:29,120 --> 00:07:32,040
Speaker 9: steam coming off of it, so it's just it's like

134
00:07:32,120 --> 00:07:34,520
Speaker 9: going back in time, but it's it's massive.

135
00:07:35,600 --> 00:07:39,200
Speaker 1: I read something that almost made it sound like you

136
00:07:39,240 --> 00:07:41,240
Speaker 1: look at it like we all know what trains look like.

137
00:07:41,320 --> 00:07:44,440
Speaker 1: Now this is almost like looking something from like the

138
00:07:44,600 --> 00:07:48,880
Speaker 1: dinosaur era based on size and how old it.

139
00:07:48,960 --> 00:07:50,520
Speaker 4: Is that it is.

140
00:07:50,640 --> 00:07:52,840
Speaker 1: And then obviously, like you said, all the steam coming

141
00:07:52,880 --> 00:07:55,240
Speaker 1: out of it, that you're looking at something from like

142
00:07:55,360 --> 00:07:59,280
Speaker 1: a whole like other generation, well several generations.

143
00:08:01,280 --> 00:08:06,040
Speaker 9: Because you can hear. It's like a normal train, you

144
00:08:06,200 --> 00:08:09,120
Speaker 9: just kind of hear it when it's close and you

145
00:08:09,200 --> 00:08:12,760
Speaker 9: just hear the diesel engine. But this one because the

146
00:08:12,800 --> 00:08:16,120
Speaker 9: way it's powered to the locomotion, it's you. You're hearing

147
00:08:16,160 --> 00:08:19,560
Speaker 9: each time it's getting pushed forward on the wheels, like

148
00:08:20,600 --> 00:08:23,000
Speaker 9: you just hear that and you can feel it. I

149
00:08:23,160 --> 00:08:27,120
Speaker 9: was probably maybe a thousand yards away from the tracks

150
00:08:27,120 --> 00:08:28,080
Speaker 9: and I can feel.

151
00:08:27,800 --> 00:08:28,480
Speaker 10: It in the dirt.

152
00:08:28,720 --> 00:08:32,240
Speaker 1: Wow. Hey, by the way, Yeah, it was the sound

153
00:08:32,320 --> 00:08:34,600
Speaker 1: that you did. Was that was good? Can you do

154
00:08:34,679 --> 00:08:35,120
Speaker 1: that again?

155
00:08:38,720 --> 00:08:38,920
Speaker 4: There?

156
00:08:38,920 --> 00:08:41,320
Speaker 1: It is? Yeah, that really paints the picture. All right,

157
00:08:41,480 --> 00:08:42,600
Speaker 1: very good, Thank you, sir.

158
00:08:42,920 --> 00:08:44,880
Speaker 2: He knows you would be in a dick.

159
00:08:49,080 --> 00:08:49,440
Speaker 10: Line.

160
00:08:50,040 --> 00:08:50,240

166
00:09:04,800 --> 00:09:07,360

168
00:09:11,360 --> 00:09:12,600
Speaker 8: all within the last month.

169
00:09:14,720 --> 00:09:17,600
Speaker 1: What is it? What was it like when it came

170
00:09:17,640 --> 00:09:18,280
Speaker 1: by the house.

171
00:09:19,240 --> 00:09:21,480
Speaker 8: It was pretty cool. You know, out in Indiana they're

172
00:09:21,559 --> 00:09:23,719
Speaker 8: they're kind of simple people out there. So there was

173
00:09:23,760 --> 00:09:26,440
Speaker 8: a big gathering by the tracks and everyone came to

174
00:09:26,480 --> 00:09:29,600
Speaker 8: watch it. There was there was some people that they

175
00:09:29,640 --> 00:09:32,400
Speaker 8: got really close to the tracks and when it blew

176
00:09:32,400 --> 00:09:35,000
Speaker 8: its steam off, they got covered in debris and all

177
00:09:35,040 --> 00:09:38,680
Speaker 8: that steam all over them. It's it's pretty inspiring actually,

178
00:09:38,760 --> 00:09:41,560
Speaker 8: Like it's it's massive, but it's cool to look at,

179
00:09:41,640 --> 00:09:45,040
Speaker 8: like a nice piece of Americana. You see the conductors

180
00:09:45,120 --> 00:09:49,240
Speaker 8: leaning out the window and the whole like procession of

181
00:09:49,280 --> 00:09:52,160
Speaker 8: cars behind. It's pretty cool too, Like they're very regal.

195
00:10:25,679 --> 00:10:28,200

205
00:10:47,800 --> 00:10:48,480
Speaker 2: right up on it.

206
00:10:50,400 --> 00:10:56,240
Speaker 3: And you probably just for those that were not well

207
00:10:56,400 --> 00:11:01,800
Speaker 3: versed in this rail fandom, they were not used to

208
00:11:01,880 --> 00:11:05,760
Speaker 3: something of this size, and so you can be closer up. Hell,

209

Speaker 3: you can throw rocks at most trains, this one, no, no, no.

210
00:11:11,240 --> 00:11:14,199
Speaker 1: I also didn't realize that whatever it's pulling behind it,

211
00:11:14,320 --> 00:11:15,600
Speaker 1: that's a long train.

212
00:11:17,160 --> 00:11:19,320
Speaker 3: Oh you thought it was just pretty ceremonial.

213
00:11:19,360 --> 00:11:21,720
Speaker 1: And yeah, that's exactly what I thought. You would get

214
00:11:21,760 --> 00:11:25,120
Speaker 1: like the engine, and then you would get like two

215
00:11:25,240 --> 00:11:26,600
Speaker 1: or three cars and that would be it.

216
00:11:26,679 --> 00:11:28,280
Speaker 3: The passenger cars were beautiful.

217
00:11:28,559 --> 00:11:32,480

221
00:11:41,480 --> 00:11:43,480
Speaker 7: So a couple of years ago, actually the Big Boy

222
00:11:44,000 --> 00:11:47,560
Speaker 7: took a drive from northern Utah to Idaho. I'm born

223
00:11:47,559 --> 00:11:50,240
Speaker 7: and raised in Idaho. My in laws are from Utah.

224
00:11:50,360 --> 00:11:53,679
Speaker 7: So we were visiting my in laws in northern Utah.

225
00:11:53,840 --> 00:11:55,079
Speaker 7: This train was going through.

226
00:11:54,880 --> 00:11:57,800
Speaker 11: So we we went and gathered along the train tracks

227
00:11:57,800 --> 00:12:01,480
Speaker 11: at one of the small town in northern Utah. Hundreds

228
00:12:01,480 --> 00:12:04,160
Speaker 11: of people gathered there at the crossing and as you

229
00:12:04,160 --> 00:12:06,240
Speaker 11: got to mentioned, we're right up on the tracks. But yeah,

230
00:12:06,280 --> 00:12:09,480
Speaker 11: the big Boy came through. It is a pretty inspiring site.

231
00:12:09,480 --> 00:12:12,880
Speaker 11: I'm not a train officionado, but to see it, you

232
00:12:12,920 --> 00:12:15,160
Speaker 11: are kind of transported back in time. You see just

233
00:12:15,240 --> 00:12:17,600
Speaker 11: the awesomeness of the train, the team coming out as

234
00:12:17,640 --> 00:12:18,160
Speaker 11: it stops.

235
00:12:18,440 --> 00:12:19,960
Speaker 7: It was a pretty cool site.

236
00:12:20,120 --> 00:12:22,400
Speaker 1: I believe it. Hey, what part of Iowa was home?

237
00:12:23,480 --> 00:12:24,079

238
00:12:25,000 --> 00:12:26,679
Speaker 1: Sorry, what part of Idaho?

239
00:12:31,040 --> 00:12:33,440
Speaker 7: Black said, Idaho. We're actually home to the Idaho Potato

240
00:12:33,559 --> 00:12:34,920
Speaker 7: Museum in southeast Idaho.

241
00:12:35,000 --> 00:12:36,400
Speaker 1: Oh that's cool, that's cool.

242
00:12:36,520 --> 00:12:39,520
Speaker 11: Yeah, my grandma actually started the museum, so no way,

243
00:12:39,840 --> 00:12:41,000

Speaker 7: There.

245
00:12:41,280 --> 00:12:43,120
Speaker 1: Wait a minute, what do you mean she started it?

246
00:12:44,080 --> 00:12:47,280
Speaker 11: Yeah, back in the late eighties. She kind of had

247
00:12:47,280 --> 00:12:51,520
Speaker 11: this idea to celebrate Blacks said Idaho, and she decided

248
00:12:51,559 --> 00:12:54,720
Speaker 11: to have a museum actually, ironically at the local train

249
00:12:54,800 --> 00:12:56,960
Speaker 11: depot in Black said, Idaho. So she had this idea

250
00:12:57,000 --> 00:12:59,800
Speaker 11: to have a museum and created the Idaho Potato Museum.

251
00:13:00,400 --> 00:13:02,240
Speaker 11: It's got a big styrofolm potato.

252

Speaker 1: wearing a crown.

260
00:13:20,679 --> 00:13:23,320

261
00:13:23,400 --> 00:13:25,280

341
00:17:09,480 --> 00:17:11,760
Speaker 1: Look at that. That is impressive, Diane.

342
00:17:11,800 --> 00:17:13,800
Speaker 4: I know. Look like you said, when you look at

343
00:17:13,800 --> 00:17:15,800
Speaker 4: the scale between how little the people.

344
00:17:15,520 --> 00:17:19,280

00:17:25,520 --> 00:17:25,680
Speaker 1: Yeah.

347
00:17:25,760 --> 00:17:28,359
Speaker 3: Quite a few people did go. So did it spend

348
00:17:28,400 --> 00:17:31,120
Speaker 3: a decent amount of time in the Keystone State?

349
00:17:31,480 --> 00:17:33,600
Speaker 1: Uh? Yeah, it did, I feel like. But then there

350
00:17:33,600 --> 00:17:34,800
Speaker 1: was a couple of spots throughout.

351
00:17:34,920 --> 00:17:37,679
Speaker 3: I guess that is the closest Altoona.

352
00:17:39,320 --> 00:17:43,520
Speaker 1: Reading Concho Hawk in so yeah, yeah, it spent a

353
00:17:43,520 --> 00:17:46,040
Speaker 1: deec amount of time Line seven real quick. Hi Elliot

354
00:17:46,080 --> 00:17:46,480
Speaker 1: in the morning.

355
00:17:47,800 --> 00:17:49,399
Speaker 8: Hey Elliott, Yeah, Hi, who's this.

356
00:17:50,440 --> 00:17:54,639
Speaker 10: It's John from Queenstown. Hey on the Big Boy. Some

357
00:17:54,720 --> 00:17:57,120
Speaker 10: of the cars you see after the engine, they were

358
00:17:57,280 --> 00:18:01,679
Speaker 10: full of the burns used motor oil and water. It

359
00:18:01,760 --> 00:18:04,480
Speaker 10: had to have that, And I guess I can't understand

360
00:18:04,480 --> 00:18:06,840
Speaker 10: why they stopped burning the coal. For the only reason

361
00:18:06,880 --> 00:18:09,760
Speaker 10: maybe being coming cross country, they wouldn't be able to

362
00:18:10,119 --> 00:18:11,960
Speaker 10: you know, cold up, and the oil is a lot

363
00:18:12,040 --> 00:18:16,640
Speaker 10: less maintenance on the steam engines, right, So that's that's

364
00:18:17,240 --> 00:18:19,040
Speaker 10: but it is impressive. I didn't get to see it. It

365
00:18:19,080 --> 00:18:20,480
Speaker 10: was closest to me, and being onniche to.

366
00:18:20,520 --> 00:18:22,520
Speaker 8: Sure was Philly right in it.

367
00:18:22,560 --> 00:18:26,840
Speaker 10: But the lady did mention being uh in reading. My

368
00:18:26,920 --> 00:18:30,560
Speaker 10: friend took the other steam engine, the reading in Blue Mountain.

369
00:18:31,000 --> 00:18:33,840
Speaker 10: That's a coal burning train and it stopped on the

370
00:18:33,920 --> 00:18:35,920
Speaker 10: siding and the Big Boy came by and I got

371
00:18:35,960 --> 00:18:39,399
Speaker 10: really neat pictures of it. He said, he said, the

372
00:18:39,440 --> 00:18:41,800
Speaker 10: heat coming off of it was amazing. But it is

373
00:18:41,840 --> 00:18:44,760
Speaker 10: an amazing machine. I believe I would have seen it person.

374
00:18:44,680 --> 00:18:47,160
Speaker 1: I believe in all right, very good, very good, Thank
