My wife and I took our son, Bryan, to see Thomas the Tank Engine at one of the Day Out with Thomas events at the Age of Steam Railroad Museum in Dallas, TX the other week.
We had a few minutes before our turn to ride Thomas' train, so we went exploring around the museum. They had a lot of interesting stuff! Here are a few of the engines that they had on display.
This only scratches the surface of their collection. I recommend the museum to anyone who is in the Dallas area! The link above has contact and location information.
I'd never seen a UP Big Boy in person before. These are truely massive machines! Bryan, who just turned 5, is 46.5" tall...to give you some perspect. Here he is running alongside the tender...
