I Dad worked for the Santa Fe RR and I have vivid memories going to the yard with him and going thru the car barns.
Many years ago on our way through Ogden, Utah (on the way to our yearly antelope hunt in Rawlings, Wyoming) my wife and I visited the Union Pacific museum. They had a DD40 there and, I believe, a Big Boy. Might have been a Challenger. It's been too long...
