While I'm not there myself (I have to work in the morning), some of my friends in Cheyenne say they are preparing for a late night test run. I've seen video of it backing itself out of the shop. A Big Boy has moved under its own power for the first time in a very long time

Here's the video, and while it's from Facebook, it's from the open page of Ahead of the Torch.

Surprised nobody's posted this here, but it's currently out on a sunset test run to Greeley (or maybe just Speer). It had a few delays getting going, checking things out, and they're stopped on the mainline looking at something - but it's alive and moving on the mainline. Trains Magazine (and an Instagram page as well) is live streaming coverage: https://www.facebook.com/TrainsMagazine ... 247587655/
