Early 90's, I recall reading. Missed the event so
all I can offer is: "Very carefully".
Here are some pics I came across on Archives - mostly
the move from Bellows Falls, the original location
of Steamtown, as well as a few pics in front of the
Lackawanna Station/ Hotel, near Mattes Tower, and
wrapping up with a series of images where it sits
today. I read the track underneath the Big Boy is
actually reinforced and sits on a foundation of some
type. Big Boy #4012 photos
