[net.railroad] BIG BOY

wjm@whuxj.UUCP (MITCHELL) (02/21/84)

To the best of my knowledge, at least one of UP's 4-8-8-4 "Big Boys" is
operational (4023??), is used for excursions, and will be displayed at
the World's Fair in New Orleans this year.

	OOPS!  Nope, that's a Challenger (4-6-6-4), but the mistake
is easy to make, as it looks a lot like a slightly smaller Big-Boy
