"Big Steam Big Egos!" Why worry about the politics? The UP Steam Team put on a grand show for all those who took the time to come out and see the Big Boy under steam. Let us all hope that sometime in the near future, Union Pacific will be able to re-establish a larger steam team, and pull off some more great steam events for all to enjoy. Personalities aside, was it not wonderful to see such a grand effort, to put the Big Boy out on the road and under steam again?
At the same time please pray for the hundreds of valuable railroad employees the Union Pacific has cut and otherwise made unemployed, pray that they can be re-hired, and/
or continue their lives with something better. I too was downsized, arbitrarily cut from my dream railroad job. I am still somewhat bitter towards unfeeling managers, who made such cold, abrupt decisions, but do not regret all the friends I made, the places, and events I got to see, while it lasted.
