Wonderful Kent....!!
This relic never gets to my area. I do have the B&O RR museum in Baltimore with "loads" of historic engines but just seem to not be able to "get over there".
Most excellent!
"Stan" has a historic companion here!

Thanks Dan.

If I understand correctly, BB will eventually come to rest here in St. Louis at the Transportation Museum. Would have loved to gotten a shot with BB and Stan together, but the logistics on that isn't viable.

Thanks Joel. BB doesn't move as fast as you and your scoot, but still gets around pretty good for its age.

When traveling to the West Coast I crossed a bridge(I70?) that showed a RR bridge and possible "Stan" in the "frame"..1979-1980..
Possible that you could "see" that if it did exist? Just inquiring..
Thanks!

I do NOT want to go "fast" riding on these relics! Slow and enjoy what is around you...

Possible, but not the ROUTE that Union Pacific chose to run ... at least nothing with a vantage point I could find ... I certainly looked.
