If you search for Big Boy train on Youtube or elsewhere, there are quite a few videos and photos of it crossing Wyoming. It's causing traffic jams, which is saying something. Not eclipse quality traffic jams, but bad for up there. While I personally won't be going up to see Big Boy, I would understand if we postponed for those who will. dave On Mon, May 6, 2019 at 10:29 AM Debbie Whitaker <astrodeb777@gmail.com> wrote:
Are there pictures online of the engine? Wanted to take the train from Durango to Silverton but there was a forest fire last year. Been to a few outdoor LG railroads in Southern Utah.

I vote to postpone. This is a big deal for railroad and history fans.

It has been pointed out to me that many of our ranks are railroad buffs, and a historic steam engine is coming to Ogden on Saturday May 11th. Some have bailed on L&O in favor of the locomotive.
So I put the question to the entire L&O group, do we want to go ahead with it on the 11th or postpone a week or two, to allow the railroad buffs to see the engine in Ogden?
The Winchester park sun party is on the 18th, but as we start at 1:00 and they end typically at noon, that shouldn't be a conflict.
We can also just go ahead with the 11th for whomever shows-up, but have another one in a couple of weeks after that. My work schedule is finally starting to lighten up a bit.
Let me know, not much time left to decide.
