It has amazed me seeing how overwhelmed the residents of NEPA were with a Big Boy coming to Scranton's Steamtown.
I was doing the localized version of a Big Boy, the Big Ben, starting in 1978.
If you've never been forward-deployed to a combat zone, handing out free double-decker burgers to trick-or-treaters was close enough to all-out warfare. Been there, done that and I'm yet to recieve my purple heart.
It may not have been a one million pound locomotive, but it felt like a million pound weight while standing in front of that char-broiler.
Sorry.
My problem, not yours.
