That thing is awesome.
Ive never seen an old locomotive like that in real life.
Here’s the wiki on it

Prayers sent.
Seriously though, I've seen videos of this thing - it's impressive. If I was anywhere near where it's running I'd check it out. Friend of mine saw it hauling arse next to hwy 30 in Nebraska a few days ago and sent a clip.

I'm completely ignorant to trains, can you explain why I should walk a block to go see this thing

Looks like a lot of gas mileage tax on that bad boy

Saw him a couple of years ago in Troup, Texas. Pretty impressive.

Go see it. It's an impressive machine. We saw it when they rolled it our a few years ago.

I've seen it twice and it blew my mind how big it was.

Thanks for the heads up. I’m going to check out the arrival at Audubon Park. Assume that would be the best time to view it as it will be in action.

I’ll try to catch when it stops in natchitoches. Would be a great way to step away from work for awhile
