• There were many reasons for the change of the site software, the biggest was security. The age of the old software also meant no server updates for certain programs. There are many benefits to the new software, one of the biggest is the mobile functionality. Ill fix up some stuff in the coming days, we'll also try to get some of the old addons back or the data imported back into the site like the garage. To create a thread or to reply with a post is basically the same as it was in the prior software. The default style of the site is light colored, but i temporarily added a darker colored style, to change you can find a link at the bottom of the site.

The Big Boy came through our area yesterday, the largest operating steam locomotive in the world.

To call this thing impressive, would be an understatement.

Not my vid but you get the idea.




Standing near the tracks when that thing went by, it was incredible. The sound and fury and with the smoke and steam belching out, kind of surreal.

Look closer at the locomotive. It's articulated, it has to be in order to navigate curves since it's so damn long.
 
It came through East Texas a few years ago. I loaded up my grandkids and we met it at several crossings. The steam whistle is breathtaking
