Description
4018 is known as the Big Boy and is 133 feet long including the coal hopper
4501 I think was made in 1911 and was featured in Johnny Cash's last recorded song before his death "Hurt" and his wife June died not long afterwards
they will put an engine behind and in front to individually move each of these monsters as they have no brakes

VERY cool capture Richard, and I'd give anything to be there to see them move these two in person
Legends in their day, both engines and the two people you mentioned~ I was looking at the comparison between Europe, Asia and the America's trains yesterday... seems we are still living in a totally different era.
Two great engines.
