Dropping Baby Penny off at Nana & Papa's house this morning & they live really close to where the Engine was running through & wanted to watch it. So of course I had to bring my camera (& go to work late 😆🫣)
This is all I had time to edit/post but definitely the best shot I got 🎉 It was a sweet sight to get to watch The Big Boy 4014 on Smokey Rd in Berlin Township with Penny, Papa & Nana! What a way to start the day!!
As I saw people putting change up on the tracks as a souvenir from the train, I just HAD to put a penny (not my Penny 😂 ) on the track! Thank you & God Bless you Urbin, from 101st Airborne Division who overheard me asking a friend for a penny & quickly handed me one! What a guy & Thank You for your service, Urbin 🇺🇸
Photo of said penny included in the comments, so glad we found it!!
