Big Boy and the Mass of Humanity

Today my nephew and I made the trek to Omaha to view the “Big Boy” steam locomotive in person. As expected, we were far from the only train enthusiasts taking time to see this functioning piece of railroad history.

There were so many people excited to get close to this massive machine. So many people, so many manners. It was a pleasant experience I would do again!
