There are now numerous YouTubes of this 500 ton steam loco withdrawn about 60 years ago and which has been restored to full working order and is now since a a week or two ago running again on the US Rail system. Currently involved with other locos in the 150 celebrations of the Trans Continental railway.
One thing that is very noticeable are the huge turnouts of people all along the routes that the
' Big Boy' 4-8-8-4 loco is taking , with people standing close to the lines and in the Cesses without any policing/ aggro etc .
There seem no boundary fences and hardly any HV clothed persons anywhere; other than a couple travelling with the loco and its special train which includes a 'Challenger' 4-8-4 steam loco.
