Great photos!!
They had a 4-8-8-4 wheel arrangement, which meant they had four wheels
on the leading set of "pilot" wheels which guided the*engine*, eight
drivers, another set of eight drivers, and four wheels following which
supported the rear of the locomotive. The massive*engines*normally
operated between Ogden, Utah, and Cheyenne, Wyo.

Well my wife and I drove to Eagle Lake and saw it arrive. We had
initially parked down the track from where it stopped. We drive up to
closer and found a parking spot right off. We stayed 10 or 15 minutes,
the crowd was very deep.Traffic was snarled,what this train did to
this little town! We drove east on 90A to where the track and road
came together. We were pretty well with it until we came to the bridge
construction on the west side of Rosenberg and the said good by..My I
phone video didn't get good audio and I was hand holding it. I think
the whistle was just too loud and clipped. I did get a bunch of
stills that I need to download and sort. The experience of riding next
to a big steam engine is one of the joys of my life. I have chased
4449, 844, 3985 and the Colorado narrow gauge, 4014 is the biggest.

Thank you Dwayne,
I took stills, was wishing I’d used the iPhone to capture a video
too! Now I have one, just a few miles down the line from me.
