Dennis Andariese General Sure looks like a tubine to me. I saw many "big blows" run through Kearney NB when I was in college. Sure wish I had a camera then. 3/8/2005 7:02:19 PM
Louis Brzuchalski General It's a "Big Blow". Saw some of them in UP loco facility, Salt Lake City, Utah, in summer 1968. They were awsome looking units. 3/9/2005 8:36:50 PM
Louis Brzuchalski General Mr. N. Corn: This is the same Big Blow that I saw, per my comment above. Here is the data I recorded from the builders plate. Built by GE as UP 1, 9-1958, serial number 33215. Somehow I even took a slide photo of it also. Hope this helps. 3/10/2005 4:50:52 PM
