How cool is that! Nice capture. Though I suppose I feel bad for the folks on the other side of the track who didn't get to see the Big Boy because the Amtrak was in the way.

I was on that train! I had booked that train in particular specifically because of the Big Boy. I ended up waiting at the rear window of the train for over an hour for it to pass, and it worked out beautifully! I do feel bad for those that were stuck on the wrong side of the tracks though and ended up getting blocked by us.

Imagine being on that Amtrak taking a train ride for whatever reason and seeing a whole bunch of people just lining the rails causing you to wonder what the heck is going on only to have the fricken Big Boy pass you on the other track.

Got to love those fans crossing the tracks at the last moment proving the railfan creed that the perfect picture can only be achieved from the opposite side of the tracks, and then only at the last minute.

I guess a lot of those folks never got Ed Dickens memo about staying at least 25' back from the tracks when the train is passing, let alone tresspassing on UP Right-of-Way. All just to get the perfect capture.

Yeah, I guess I was a bit closer than 25 feet. There were some people that were definitely way too close. At one point, people were waiting on the mainline when the news of the Big Boy hitting the tree at Auburn came around. Waiting on the tracks is honestly the worst decision.

With my luck i would probably be on the Amtrak side of the tracks. I can’t recall all the times I’ve had an Amtrak or freight train block my view of getting a heritage. Especially on the bnsf line for metra
