Just wondering how many of you were thinking of, or planning to go to Promontory Summit next year for the 150th anniversary of the completion of the railroad? And of course, the opportunity to see the first Big Boy under steam ...

I'll be there …. making a family trip out of it with my wife, 3 grown sons, and our daughter-in-law. We're staying at the Marriott Courtyard. I'll be the guy with the "CNJ" baseball cap on. lol

I've read that UP is matching the $1 Million that the state legislature approved for the festivities.

I wish that UP3985 could join 4014 and 844 there for the fun. Someday.

Best of luck, UP steam shop, in getting 4014 squared away.
