Away From The Madding Crowd
Title:  Away From The Madding Crowd
Description:  Why was I so far back for this shot? Well, for one thing, a good friend of mine who was present told me 4014 was a huge engine, so I needed to be back enough to get all of her in the frame. For another, I am not one for crowds, so I was more than happy to keep well back to grab my shots of 4014 on the old Spine Line.

Best I Could Get
Title:  Best I Could Get
Description:  They just had to close the sidewalks on the bridge over the Division Street wye. Luckily, since I stand almost 6'5, I could hold my camera above the barriers and snag this mostly decent shot as Ed D. and his crew make their grand entry into St. Paul Union Depot as they return from Duluth.

"Big Boy"
Title:  "Big Boy"
Description:  In a nod to how the Big Boy class got its name, Ed Dickens and his crew chalked "Big Boy" on the 4014's smokebox, just like an annoymous worker did on the first Big Boy built.

Geniuses At Work
Title:  Geniuses At Work
Description:  Ed Dickens and his crew show their skill as they back the special into Union Depot. I briefly spoke with the lady on the right before I left Union Depot, raving about how cool the 4014 was.

Title:  4014, Fans, And Regular Folk
Description:  A mix of railfans and regular folks (mostly regular, since most are using their phones instead of cameras?) greets Ed D. and his crew as they roll through Fridley bound for St. Paul Union Depot after their journey to Duluth.

What Ho!
Title:  What Ho!
Description:  An eastbound (?) Union Pacific freight passed Union Depot and headed up Division Street after the steam special returned to Union Depot. I snapped this almost-flawless shot of the mid-train helper unit passing the Big Boy. I wonder if anyone in that pickup truck at upper left stuck in traffic on highway 52 cast admiring glances at the 4014?

Who Could Have Guessed?
Title:  Who Could Have Guessed?
Description:  Union Pacific's Golden Spike 150th special is back at St. Paul Union Depot after a trip to Duluth/Superior. Who could have guessed Union Depot would not only be reopened for transportation and trains again but also host a Big Boy?

Big Boy And A Big Bridge
Title:  Big Boy And A Big Bridge
Description:  Ed Dickens and his crew continue to back their long, armour yellow and gray train into St. Paul Union Depot while admiring railfans and regular folk take in the sight and sound of a Big Boy. I wonder how many commuters stuck in traffic up on Highway 52 took in the sight of the 4014's return to Union Depot?
