THE day!

Sunday was a day 6 years in the making.  When Union Pacific announced their plans to restore a Big Boy back to operation way back in 2013, I didn't think it would actually materialize.  Boy did it!  What an amazing piece and what an amazing day!  Skyler has been telling his class all about the locomotive and even shared the video with them today.

I took yesterday's video, Mommy took all of the stills.  She did and incredible job!

He was happy!

Scoping out our vantage point.  We would be trackside for 2 hours before the train came.

Practicing his shooting location.

Here it comes!!

WOW!

We were close!

Great lighting.

Away he goes!

844.

What an amazing experience.  Note the crowd!
