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 |
| 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" |
| 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 |

Mr. Dickens |

Ed Dickens in the cab of the 4014 at St. Paul Union Depot after he and his crew brought the train back from the North Shore. Closest I got to meeting the man. Note the "Fire Hose Only" lettering at bottom right: that is where the fire hose that puts water into 4014's tender is connected. |

A Pair of Famous Transcons |
| Description: |
Shortly after the 4014 arrived at Union Depot, what should appear in the distance down at Division Street but a Canadian Pacific transfer (I assume?). And so the two legendary transcons, the Union Pacific and the Canadian Pacific, met. Only CP 2816, the "Empress," could have made this photo better. |

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? |

Big Boy And A Big Bridge |

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? |
