Big Boy and Turbine |
Description: |
Big Boy 4009 and Veranda Gas Turbine 75 depart Laramie with a loaded coal train. The line of boxcars in the background is on Main Track 2, with the station on the other side. The depot has not seen passenger service since 1971, but is still maintained as a local historic site. Note the remnants of a torn-out switch next to 4009s 25,000 Gallon tender. Veranda 75 is the highest-numbered Veranda turbine, and is new to RRPA. Obtained from Union Pacific Steam: Big Boy Portraits (Bush, Ehernberger) |
