These people need to go down…

Reposting This On A Friday After A Long Week At Work

More especially, because I know next week is going to be one to remember.

The temps are supposed to hit 100 degrees and there are multiple tear down and rebuilds on big pieces of equipment going on all damn week.

So after we have all busted our asses just trying to survive in this absolutely insane political nightmare era,

we ALL need to remember this.

It’s absolutely true,

these people are pieces of shit underneath our work boots.

Old Train Thursday.

Wyoming’s Big Boy 4014 Locomotive Rescues Freight Train Stuck In Nebraska

Still Has The Muscle
The rescue was captured on video by YouTuber Otto the Railfan, and in just over 12 minutes you can watch Big Boy 4014 creep up behind the freight train, hook on, then power up as it begins to push.
Gleaming black and looking sleek, Big Boy was actually working for the first time in more than six decades, and it appears the engineers were having as much fun as those looking on.
The video then cuts to a railroad crossing, where an eclectic mix of rusted railcars, some with colorful graffiti, trundle by until Big Boy 4014 comes into view, it’s telltale 1940s steam engine chug-a-chugging unlike any that have likely crossed those tracks for decades, a strong white plume of steam spouting from the back of the locomotive.
After about 20 minutes, the freight train was able to pull away and finish the route on its own and Big Boy 4014 resumed its trip back to its home base in Cheyenne, UP says, adding that, “Big Boy was in the right place at the right time to help keep our network open.”
