Adventures in California History @pitsenberger - Video: Up close with Union Pacific Big Boy 4014, sitting idle on a siding in Wheatland, CA, quietly ticking and hissing as it waits for a passing train. The ticking sounds puzzled me. Does anyone familiar with steam locomotives know what causes these ticks? Could they signal an automatic system, or is the engine preparing to move? Got to hand it to Union Pacific, as they had plenty of employees around keeping it safe, and they even handed out small American flags for people to wave.
Watch until the end, as we truly didn't know what was to come, but what happened next I will never forget. All I could do was hold on to the camera and hope for the best. The passing of the Abraham Lincoln Engine. caused the crowd to erupt in cheers! The energy and excitement marked the day as truly unforgettable, a perfect finale to an incredible experience with the Big Boy.

Amock_ @Amockx2022 - Video: BREAKING : Italian Georgia Meloni becomes the first PM in the world to belt Trump for his remarks on Pope
Trump –– "The Pope is weak against crime and he is not doing his job well. He is terrible for foreign policy"
Meloni –– "Trump's words toward the Holy Father are unacceptable. The Pope is the head of the Catholic Church and it is right and normal for him to call for peace and to condemn every form of war"
Trump expected support at Strait of Hormuz from Meloni but she's exposing his hypocrisy instead
