Here is a very HANDY -LIVE Google Map APRS Big Boy Tracer from the ham radio folks.
use the QUery "STEAM" to track the Big BOy 4014 special train from Colton to Cheyenne.
As I post this at 9PM Mountain TIme BIg BOy 4014 is in the MODENA UT area.
They are currently running about 4 HOURS late at this point --9PM Mountain TIme Zone.

Caught it right outside Granite, WY...WOW is all I can say! EB I80 was at a near standstill. The amount of folks pulled off the HWY was impressive. Folks were set up for miles with their cameras.

4014 is now less than 1/8 mile from 4004. Would be one HECK of a photo if somebody could pull it off but there is a lot of stuff between the tracks and the Big Boys. Probably the closest 2 Big Boy locomotives have come since 4023 left Cheyenne.
