Union Pacific Big Boy Locomotive 4014

I know this is not about pocket watches but to say that the Union Pacific Big Boy Steam Locomotive 4014 is finally on the move from Pomona CA. to the Colton CA. Yards for some maint, and further travel to Cheyenne WY. for restoration. First time on Mainline track in 52 years

There are lots of postings on YouTube, some by the UPRR, covering 4014's preparation for movement.
