@jnack I would have loved to have made it to Utah for the 2019 celebration. Your kid will have great memories of that for the rest of his life, I'm sure.
UP Big Boy 4014 crew pairs up with RBM&N 2012 crew for a joint photo at Mountaintop, PA this afternoon. Very exciting moment that had “Golden Spike” vibes.
The moment Union Pacific "Big Boy" crews officially meet and greet RBM&N 2012 crews for a photo in Mountaintop, PA, on June 13, 2026. (also features dual run-by the next day, June 14)
Union Pacific 4014 and RBM&N 2102 pace each other as they approach the crossing at Penebscot in Mountaintop, PA, before making the descent down the grade to the Wilkes Barre / Pittston area. Occurred around noon on June 14, 2026.
@RealWayneDupree 1. Films are just amusement park rides now. 2. Previews are 30 minutes plus, and they are cringe. 3. You never know the actual START time of the film. 4. Expensive. 5. Audience talking, checking phones, 6. Home TV is 90 percent as good as theater.
@Newsweek Less than $3000 for each American. And if he liquidated all his assets in an attempt to do this, the number would be far less. WYF is your point, Newsweek? You hate makers and love the takers.
@nicksortor@GregAbbott_TX Unfortunately, blue states will never learn. The prevailing "wisdom" in New Jersey is that they covet their right NOT to pump gas - invoking strange arguments that always involve the "comfort of staying in your car when it's cold/raining."
@JesseKellyDC It indeed is amazing. And when you step back in awe of life's conveniences that have become so omnipresent that they seem mundane...you live a MUCH happier life.
@georgewritess Part 2….most of us love to hear a success story. Most of us know that jealousy and envy will limit us. So we look at the success of others as validation and confirmation that WE too can be successful. In America, people will congratulate you…and MEAN it!
@georgewritess It’s that ambition is democratized. The Uber driver, hotel desk clerk, gas station attendant can dream big with their side hustles and no one ridicules them. Also…although you didn’t specifically mention it, Americans CELEBRATE your success.
@AnnCoulter I don't think he's going to go. Airspace restrictions above NYC on June 8 are no longer showing on the FAA website. Bet that he's headed straight back to DC Monday morning.
