Reply to "UP 4014 Restoration/844 Trip"

If and when the #4014 is finished and under steam, will it be able to run on the now, Union Pacific System that it wasn't able to back in the day?

I remember having a side conversation with Steve Lee at the CSX Huntington Engine Facility, when the 3985 did the honors on the CSX Santa Claus Special. He was telling me how the Big Boy was made for work on only one portion of their circuit, and the 3985 could go all over the circuit, even places where the 844 could go. He said that the limiting factor on the 3985 was most in part to it's tender?????.......I didn't ask, but assumed it maybe due to Multi fixed axles, and did n't notice that until our group left theirs and headed for home....................................................Just Askin
