, anyone going after 4014?

Reminder for my fellow railfans: Big Boy's first of two runs through NW Ohio is this weekend! The world's largest steam locomotive still in operation will chug eastward on this leg, though the main stop to get an up-close view will be in Fostoria on Tue Jul 14th during the return trip west.

NOTE: Lorain's window has moved 2 hours earlier, now 11:15-11:30am Mon Jun 8.
