I remember about 12 years ago when the Forney Museum here in Denver moved to their new location. I watched them move 4005. But they were able to move it by rail.

Awesome. Working in a chemical plant we lift heavy things all the time. It is one thing to pick it up, it is another to move it. As a railfan I always get a secret inside kick out of what most people think as "heavy". Remember that this locomotive and tender are EMPTY and it still took that much effort to move it! Sorry UP fans, the Lima H-8's were 16-20K lbs heavier.

I see her and DDA-40X #6900, sitting proudly on a hill overlooking the Missouri River, at least twice a week.
