Skip, a great big thanks to you and the guys! I've been able to see much of the move thanks to your efforts, and it's much appreciated.

I never would have had the patience to deal with that cantankerous technology all day- you guys must be exhausted!

She sure looked beautiful rolling along!

Well, after several aborted efforts, it looks like it is not just possible to move a Big Boy, but to do it easily. I am sure that the UP had a BUNCH of folks here to watch and learn!
Congratulations to all involved! A great show!

I just wanted to add my thanks and appreciation for letting us ride around with y'all today. It was fun hanging out with you through the thick and thin of it. And those pacing shots out of Dallas were spectacular! Kudos to the driver! Wish I could buy you a pizza and a six-pack.

No. The locomotive is parked in South Irving, Tx now. It will be moved to Frisco on another day and we don't know yet when that will be. So let's say it's half way there.

Enjoyed the live feed!

It's been a few years (actually, many years) since I paced a train.
