Thanks Mike! It was definitely a childhood dream come true! I always hoped it would return to SoCal, I just never thought it would come back so soon after restoration!
Awesome chase, brother! So great to see 4014 running again. I wasn't able to chase the Big Boy coming in to Cali, but I did chase it on the 12th, 13th, and 15th! Such an awesome experience. Ed and the gang did a heck of a job. I can't wait for them to bring it back to SoCal for some more runs!
Thanks a lot Travis! Just recently saw your own video. Major props on your awesome pacing! This was definitely the greatest railfanning experience I've ever had! Hats off to Ed and the steam crew for making the impossible possible!
