https://www.paskiandride.com/forums/discover/paskiandride - All Activityen50 years ago my dad photographed the Freedom Train for the bicentennial when it came through Bethlehem. I'm sure if he would have been even more excited to see UP Big Boy if he was still around Sadly, none of these rails are active and have been torn up and passenger service left the valley a few years later.Wed, 08 Jul 2026 13:33:16 +0000People have been following the train like it’s Taylor Swift. Someone on my FB post this morning “stinks having to go back to my actual job today after following around Big Boy and taking pictures”Wed, 08 Jul 2026 13:04:59 +0000it is costing a shit ton of money to put this show on, i know they have 2 tanker trucks running around after it delivering oil to it at 6,000 gallons a pop, among so many other logistical things. But they do have a "heritage steam" division or whatever they call it, so they are pretty into it. I do believe the excursions, like what they did from Pittston to Jim thorpe and back were pretty expensive passenger tickets. But regardless, Big Boy traveling across the country is a bigger deal than anything our government could put together. Kudos to UP. its cool to see crowds showing up in droves to see an old steam engine run. im surprised that frump hasnt tried to slap his name on it in any way, shape, or form.Tue, 07 Jul 2026 17:42:43 +0000Yeah at some point I liked up Union Pacific on Wikipedia. Serious profits!!! On my FB some people have seen the big boy train multiple times. I’m cool seeing pictures but I read about the big boy trains and wow they are heavy and alot of thrust.Tue, 07 Jul 2026 15:46:59 +0000RBMN makes a lot less money and they have a bunch of toy trains.Tue, 07 Jul 2026 15:30:05 +0000I guess when you make 11.2 Billion dollars you have enough to spend on a fun toy train.Tue, 07 Jul 2026 14:36:03 +0000Union Pacific must have a shit ton of money to pay for all this.Tue, 07 Jul 2026 11:20:32 +00003rd big boy sighting at a co workers house.
