Well, not in person yet, but my wife took a few shots of the screen as it passed by the Golden Spike Tower and Bailey Yard in North Platte, NE. This is just the beginning of the Great Midwest Tour.
I will be seeing it in person as it comes through Minnesota late next week. Then we'll be heading out to North Platte in early August in hopes of seeing all three UP steamers at Rail Days.
If you happen to catch this giant in your backyard, please share your pictures and videos here. I'll be posting a bunch as the tour continues.
Here's the first tease.
