Awesome footage. Looking forward to hopefully seeing the Big Boy in action this summer. And as far the safety warning to stay 25 feet from the tracks, I think that warning should cover all species. Don't forget that evening during last year's tour when a killdeer decided to make her nest in the dirt right next to the tracks.
I doubt it, except maybe to show, just because it would probably be pretty hard for him to navigate Britain's railways. Remember that the Big Boys were built for the wide open expanses of America's heartland.
