Posted by Dave on Mon Jun 17 11:55:35 2013 The Museum of the American Railroad has been located in Fair Park in Dallas for years now but is in the process of moving to Frisco, TX, northeast of Dallas. All of the equipment has been moved except for the Big Boy. A few weeks ago I posted pictures of the Frisco 4-8-4 on the ready track being prepped for the move.I was out of town this weekend but my friend Ken who is the UP/BNSF/FW&W photographer went to Dallas to record the Big Boy being moved to the ready track. She's scheduled to start the move this coming Sunday and I plan on being there. The pictures below were taken by Ken. Need to have all joints lubed up before the move:  Touching up the paint:  Santa Fe F-7A #49 is used to pull the Big Boy to the ready track:   Slowly....:  Sloowly.....  Slooooooowly.....  That'll do it::
