O.T./ I seen the Challenger

Union Pacifics 4-6-6-4 Challenger (world's largest operational steam locomotive) is on its way to Houston for display, I think, at the Super Bowl festivities. Anyways, I seen it rolling down the tracks today. Being able to see it was just part of the fun, because there was nothing like hearing that big locomotive chugging and blowing its whistle from way up the line. I thought antique tractoring was fun. I wonder what it would be like to be the engineer on that steam engine, and opening up the throttle to full steam, reach 70 mph, hang your head out the window, and blow the whistle. Now that would just be awesome. Just had to tell ya about it, and now I'll try to return my thoughts back to puttering around on the F-20. LOL
