Big Steam

If you like steam locomotives, then you will love Big Steam! In this program, you will enjoy great steam action with six large steamers!

See Nickel Plate 2-8-4 #765 and Southern Pacific 4-8-4 #4449 as they strut their stuff during the giant TrainFestival in Michigan, carrying large trains of happy passengers.

Enjoy seeing the 4449 charging west on the BNSF mainline in Minnesota, North Dakota and Montana at speeds over 70 mph!

See steam on a freight train as Iowa Intersteate 2-10-2s #6988 and #7081 steam across Iowa.

Thrill to rare action as Santa Fe 4-8-4 #3751 takes to the rails and pulls a special passenger train from Los Angeles all the way to the south rim of the Grand Canyon! As a special bonus, Grand Canyon 2-8-2 #4960 doubleheads with 3751 between Williams, Arizona and the South Rim!
