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.

rolling history
UP refurbished 4014 to take part in the celebration of 150 year anniversary of the completion of the transcontinental railroad
ETA: also... it's just a fricking huge piece of mechanical mastery
FWIW... 4014 was originally built in November 1941

Steam locomotives are amazing machines. They are massive. They are beautiful in a way you can understand— meaning you can see how they work. Everything is purely mechanical so it makes sense - no electronics.
And they seem alive. A steam locomotive huffs and puffs rhythmically- as if it were breathing.
Absolutely go see it close up while it’s under steam. You won’t forget it.

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

Looks like the map has it going over the Huey P? That would be an AMAZING picture!

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