At one point, we actually paced with the Big Boy. I had mentioned I wanted to include Ryan’s video, and I finally got a copy. But also, unbeknownst to me, Dane was filming me. He was in the back passenger seat. Ryan was in the back seat behind me, train side. And Milton had the front passenger seat, as our navigator. He is only 15 but is excellent at cross-referencing rail lines to roadways to get us around. And me? I drove. I managed to keep the Big Boy in sight as long as possible. I was outmaneuvered by some, but I had precious cargo on board and had a backseat driver keeping me in line. I could not watch the train. I focused on driving!
Below is Ryan’s video. I think his video better captures the energy and excitement, as you can hear the wind blowing and him hooping and hollering. His is in two parts. Here is part one.
And the continuation here in part 2.
