Big Boy

We found out that an old steam engine that had been in a museum was coming through Utah on it's way to be restored to working condition in Wyoming.  You could track the progress of the train on the railroad website, which we did.  We then took it a step farther and became train chasers.  Friday night we went out to Tooele and followed the train as it made its slow way to Salt Lake.  Then on Monday Papa joined us to for a ride up to Ogden Union Station and saw it up close and personal.  It was amazing.  Mr A was in heaven.  Nana bought him an engineer outfit and I made him a sign.  One side said "HI BIG BOY" the other side I love trains.  He held it up out in Tooele as the train passed us.  What a fun experience for all of us and can't wait to track it again when it comes back to Utah under it's own power.
