John:

A question that has nothing to do with any hints...
Is that the train museum in Roanoke, VA?

Just wondering.

The foreground locomotive has to be one of the monster 4-8-8-4 "Big Boy"s of the Union Pacific, number 4018. You can tell by the coupler door and louvers in the nose.

If my locomotive sleuthing is correct, then this picture was taken at the Museum of the American Railroad in Dallas Texas.

Just a wild guess, I'm a narrow gauge train nut. Give me big mountains and small locomotives.

Here' ya go!
