Went to see Union Pacific 4014 Big Boy today
Mom and I took Rita for a road trip today, 2 1/2 hours one way to see Union Pacific's recently restored 4014 Big Boy. It's the largest operating steam locomotive in the world and it's taking a bunch of passengers on a joy ride through the Midwest this summer. What an awesome train this is, all the restored passenger cars really set it off too. Rita behaved pretty good the whole way. I was thankful for awesome brakes in it because anything less we may have T-boned a turning tractor and wagon that was not paying attention ( we should have painted it a brighter color
).I did find out the fuel pump is dying or the filter is plugged, it started spitting and sputtering about 8 miles from home. I plugged a gauge in and the fuel pressure dies off after a bit and then it croaks.

We were at a buffet meal and the wife said "That's the fourth time you've gone back for dessert, doesn't that embarrass you?" I said "No, I keep telling them it's for you."
