I just deleted an argumentative post about the status of the Union Pacific Big Boy #4014. That is NOT why I started this thread, so don't go down that road with any more posts like that.
I discovered this slide totally by a random choice out of a box of slides I picked to test with my new Epson 35mm slide scanner. When I previewed the image and could read the locomotive's number, it struck a chord and I figured I would have a little fun with it.
That's all there is to this! There is no hidden motive or agenda in play in posting this. Just have fun with it.
