Doesn't sound that exciting, but hubby wanted to see them and it was awesome! Short path up to the trains, beautiful area, and the trains--they're so big! You can do this in 30 minutes, and it's easy to access off of I-80.

What can you say, when you get to walk up close and personal with two of the biggest monsters to pull freight across our country?

The two locos are Centennial No. 6900 - the largest diesel locomotive, and Big Boy No.... More
