Then my suggestion is for those people to stay home, so there is more room for the rest of us who appreciate seeing an engineering landmark that we never dreamed would return, rolling past under her own power. 

No problem, Kelly. You can have my spot.  

If/when this thing ever runs, I’ll be somewhere else doing something interesting.

I won't be going either but not because this planned event is not interesting.  You imply the restoration and likely operation of one of the biggest, most powerful, and successful steam locomotives in U.S history is not interesting? Really?

I remember when I use to think you were a "train guy."

Exactly.

The Big boy was not the biggest nor was it the most powerful or the most successful. I think its cool they restore one. I dont like the fact that the restoration comes at the expense of other equipment in the historic UP steam shop. including 3985 witch IS actually the most successful (based on number built) Articulated design of the steam age.
