It Was THIS Big!!

A few years ago, Kevin and the kids took a day trip to Ogden to see a train called “Big Boy” as it passed through on its way to Denver to be restored. This weekend, it came back through, under its own power this time, as part of the commemoration of the 150th anniversary of the driving of the golden spike that connected the eastern and western portions of the transcontinental railroad. Daniel and Nathan had scheduling conflicts and were not able to join us, but the rest of us drove up to see the train. It is aptly named because the thing is gigantic! The wheels alone are more than 6 feet tall! There were about a gazillion people there and navigating the crowds was a bit of a chore, but I’m glad we were able to see a piece of history.
