  1. I had a hard time getting the streaming video also, but today it worked. Thank You Trains. Wish I was there in person but your camera is just as good.

  2. I Wish the UP Steam Crew A Safe and Wonderful 11 Days to Bring the BIG BOY 4014 Home and then back to life

  3. I have been unemployed (and searching) for almost 2 years now or I would definitely be a paid subscriber….however, that said I wish to thank Jim Wrinn and his diligent staff at Trains for at least making 7 of the 11 days of upcoming live streaming available at no charge to the viewing public. I'm sure there are many unseen significant costs associated with this type of undertaking so to ask folks who CAN to subscribe for the whole 11 days is in NO WAY UNREASONABLE. They have to defray those costs somehow. Again, THANKS TRAINS!! By the way…the special edition Big Boy magazine is absolutely AWESOME…..can't quit reading it. May God Bless You All!

  4. Excellent coverage on a historic journey for rail-fans and Big Boy steam. Union Pacific is to be commended for good management practices and foresight to preserve living rail history. My hope is that Rail giants like Union Pacific can inspire younger rail-fans into model railroading and that the folks at Up might help sponsor and support made in American model train products. The UP shops in Cheyenne prove that American workers and ingenuity can do this and do it superbly to keep America "on track" for the future. Thanks Trains magazine and UP. This is great.

  5. I wish I had the money to subscribe. Hopefully I can go to Cheyenne on May 8. Also UP has the schedule on the steam website.

  6. Too bad such a historic event is used to extract money from the public. Surprised I didn't have to pay to post this. Look on internet elsewhere others will cover this post it for nothing. Notice there are no times posted for this event? I guess you waste your whole day sitting there waiting for something to happen.

    And please come to your senses… If you can watch 7 out of 11 streaming events for free and nobody forces you to buy a TRAINS subscription to gain free access to the remaining 4 events, what do you mean with your complaint “… Too bad such a historic event is used to extract money from the public…”?
    I hope you are not referring to Trains Magazine… unless, of course, you have been taking too much sun in Florida!…

  8. I've seen 3 Big Boys in parks and museums. I'm anxious
    to see this one on the move. Whata machine!

  9. Thank You Trains Magazine for everything your doing and for giving us all a front row seat to what I think is the biggest event of the Millineum!

  10. Thank you Trains Magazine for Live Streaming this entire historic trip. I plan to be riding with you all the way (by live Streaming Video). I wonder if I'll have jet lag as a result. My clock by the computer screen will be PST and I will change it everytime we cross into a new time zone.
    I enjoyed riding with you by live streaming video from LA Fairplex to West Colton. Thank You Again.

  11. I know you guys are putting a lot of resources into this, but please know that it's appreciated. I can't wait to check out the coverage!
