I have some pics from a weekend trip to Omaha of a Big Boy Steam Engine and a Centennial series diesel both built for Union Pacific railroad. Both are the largest engines of their type ever made. It was very hard to fit either engines in a single picture, hope they turn out ok guys!
I wish I could have gotten some better pics, but these things are just too damn big. If you have never seen a Big Boy, You need to see one in person just to experience how massive these engines were. I think I really needed a WIDE angle lens to get any better shots.
Love the Big Boy! Although I think that the C&O's and Clinchfiled's 2-6-6-6's were bigger in some ways, they were heavier though, that's why C&O took Lima to court. N&W Y-6b's were a h*ll lot smaller, they were however more powerful in "simple" and could pull a heavier train faster. Which I think that they actually did on the UP! Imagine the embarrassment!
