Hello everyone, I was wondering if their is a route that has Sherman Summit mountain pass?
In history, the Big Boy were known to be able to pull 5 miles of loaded freight cars over Sherman Hill which is the steepest grade in the Union Pacific railroad.
I was wondering if their was a route like this so I could take the Big Boy for a spin if you know what I mean
Until then you can watch this cool video of the Big Boys in action, these are honestly my favorite trains of all time.... So majestic and powerful!
2:09 is the Big Boys
3:21 is Sherman Hill in case you need a visual
