The UP Big Boy locomotive moves to it's new home.
On any other day moving this tender would be a big deal. This day, following it's locomotive, it seemed to be an afterthought.
Video - It was cold and windy. You can hear the wind in this shot.

The locomotive was supported by 18 dollies, 144 tires in all.
These two fellows worked the steering. I didn't notice the cup holder until after I took this photo.

The utilities led the way all day.
This photo may give you a feel for the size of the engine.
The lineman in the bucket had the best view of the show. I bet it was cold up there.
The police were on hand for crowd control, but people were too interested in the move to cause any trouble.
