After a couple of weeks of 3-foot gauge steam, I headed out to Kansas City after the RGS 20/455 charter on the Cumbres & Toltec to see a (much) bigger steam locomotive. For the next week I chased UP 4014 west across Kansas and eastern Colorado before following it back to Cheyenne last Tuesday. The atmosphere was certainly in stark contrast to my time spent in Antonito (and even Chama) during the Victorian event. So here's some VNNG (very non-narrow gauge) content - a few video highlights of my time with the Big Boy as it headed west across the high plains towards Denver.
