 From one of our former AARA Club members Dick Melcher WA6MDI who was a 
steam train buff.
I have copied the Louisiana routes for those interested.

For those of you in Texas and points north you may or may not know about 
my interest/passion for trains especially steam. One of the things I 
have been following closely it the latest tour of the Union Pacific Big 
Boy. This is a 132 foot long, 1.2 million pound articulated steam and is 
part of the U.P. "Heritage fleet" They operate a total of 3 steam 
engines and with the Big Boy coming to Texas a post showing the times 
and dates would be appropriate.
Here is some details on the loco:
