Welcome to Steam Trains Galore 13! For this year's installment in the Steam Trains Galore series, we will mostly focus on several of the large steam locomotives in the US that are still running. To start off, we visit the Reading Blue Mountain and Northern 2102 in Pennsylvania. Next, we'll stop off at the Lumberjack Steam Train and Camp 5 Museum in Laona, Wisconsin to see Laona and Northern number 4 pulling tourist trains in the Northwoods. From there, it's off to Ohio, Indiana, and Michigan to see the long requested Nickel Plate Road 765 pulling the Tri-State Steam Excursion. After that, we'll pay a visit to California and Nevada to see the Union Pacific 4014 Big Boy traveling over the original Transcontinental Railroad. To finish off, we will make two more stops in the Midwest. First, we'll take a look at Frisco 1630 running at the Illinois Railway Museum. And finally, our last stop will be at the Boone and Scenic Valley Railroad in Iowa to see locomotive 8419, a steam locomotive built in 1989!
