My memory is not great, but I thought there was a recent thread on here about Big Boy, but I can't find it.

I haven't watched all of it, but Jay Leno has a 1 hour you-tube video when it was in Council Bluffs, IA. The video is very detailed and involves discussion with the UP leader that resurrected it out of a park in LA-towed it to Cheyenne, stripped it down and put it back together. Believe it not, they are still training people to run this thing. Deep pockets and no one crawling on you about expenses. I'm sure it happens but behind closed doors. Enjoy if you're so inclined.
