We have already had 2 big snowstorms, way early this year. -1 this morning and tired of snow already.
Sunday we are flying out to AZ for a few days. It should be nice and warm. high 80's, low 90's. Hope to see the restored 1941 steam locomotive Big Boy 4014 go through somewhere between Gila Bend, Maricopa and Casa Grande AZ on the 16th. The route loop is in celebration of the completion of the First Transcontinental Railroad 150 years ago. The Big Boy 4014 came from a museum in California a few years ago to undergo restoration in Cheyenne Wyoming and is now on tour. 132 ft long, 1.2 million lbs., the largest steam locomotive ever built, one of 25 built and the only one of 8 still in existence that is running. It has been converted from coal fired to no. 5 fuel. Should be fun to see.
