| No.4018 Big Boy Outside at Fair Park |
 |
| A non-reported derailment delayed the Big Boy's move. |
The 4018 Big Boy was siting on the siding outside the Fair Park fence for the first time in 49 years. People were streaming into the outside parking lot to see the behemoth. What a beauty!
It's sad that Union Pacific predicts that it would cost between $3M to $7M to restore the 4018 to full working order. There were only 25 built. Only 8 remain. To bad to museum has signed a deal with the devil rather than using some of the tools at hand to raise the funds to restore the engine.
