UPRR HEARTLAND BIG BOY TOUR 9:09 SD 480p
I setup along the Indiana Harbor Belt Line at W. 115th St. I had planned to meet up with several friends at Riverdale. Traffic lights, traffic lights, those lights versus UP 4014, Big Boy was the winner. Headed south on S. Halsted St. and crossed the Harbor's yard, I noted cars leaving the road along the north side of the yard. Looking east I was surprised, UP 4014 and its consist was almost gone. I quickly phoned my friends, told them to quickly run to the tracks and get their pictures, Big Boy was moving fast. At W. 144th St. I found a spot at the crossing. Big Boy was stopped. It moved in yard speed, 6 mph. My next planned setup was along the N. Woodlawn Ave. in South Holland, Big Boy had stopped once again, this time next to the Yard Center office. They spent 20 minutes. They started with plumes of smoke, that quickly faded. Still pictures caught Big Boy on the bridge over the Little Calumet River. My friend and his buddies said they wanted to follow me. My friend's driver was slow, slow, slow. Fortunately we caught Big Boy when he stopped in South Chicago Heights. They gave up, I drove more separately, going south, catching the tour train in St. Anne in the trees and on a crossing in tiny Pittwood, IL.
