Didn't take this myself but was stood right behind the guy that did. Part of a national tour, the recently renovated "Big Boy" locomotive passed within a mile of the house at Old Spring so had to go take a look didn't I!.

Great turn out, had to be a couple of thousand people there despite the atrocious, for Texas, weather and plenty of young children there as well which is always encouraging for the railway preservation community. The George Bush ceremonial locomotive and funeral car was also part of the train.

Great atmosphere and a good morning topped off with a coffee and a couple of shots of Knob Creek Bourbon.
