Description This Union Pacific Big Boy steam train stands in front of a pylon symbolising the power that replaced in.
Well maybe not 100% true as most locomotives in the USA are Diesel.
The Big Boy locomotive was the biggest steam engine built in the United States.
Located next to the I80 in East Omaha Nebraska.

Well worth seeing. You also have the Union Pacific museum in Omaha to so you could happily make a train day of it then head onto the golden spike to see some monstrous rails!

I live in England!
Next excuse?
I joke. I'm lucky enough to be here for work so making the most of it!Β 
I hope you do get a chance to come here. Lots of interesting stuff to see even if it is far from being a tourist hot spot.

I'm just 19 and we don't go abroad very often. I've only been in Belgium and Colonge... Total time in both combined: roughly 8 days.

I went to Belgium last year. It is a pretty place.
Well I'm sure you will have lots of awesome trips to come.
Do they still do those Europe tour train tickets for teenagers? I was gutted when I found out about them to late. I would have loved to have done that for a summer.

A good idea if you want to see some of the world for not much money.
I hope you get to see some Β cool stuff either way.

Well hopefully you get a chance in the future.
I think you might be stuck in shouting mode by the way (Caps).

The text on here is pretty small. I always read all caps as shouting lol.
if you do find yourself this way, the union pacific museum is supposed to be worth a visit and the golden spike isn't far away either.
