Last (operational) of its Kind

We all like big HP mechanical "stuff"... Here's one for you...
4 cylinder, 24" bore, 32" stroke, makes about 6300 HP, and weighs 1-1/4 million pounds...
By total chance I was able to witness a true "Last of it's Kind" mechanical wonder... 
About 11:40 today I was on my way from 3M Menomonie to the convenience store and there were a bunch of cars parked along the side road, dozens of people with lawn chairs and cameras out. I stopped and asked what was up... "The U.P. "Big Boy" #4014 is coming through here in about 10 minutes!"

It's coming back through again, but I don't have the schedule. It was going from the TC area to Duluth and back, then moving on from what I understand
