Relocating of one of the largest 2-10-4 type locomotives in the world weighing 502,600 lbs. It was built in 1930, ran up 1,700,000 miles and put to rest in 1953. In 1957 it was donated to the city of Amarillo, Texas. The Railroad Arifacts Preservation Society moved it in August of 2005 with the The History Channel documenting it in one of Mega Movers episodes. Messer Construction Company was the power behind the move. Front loaders and side boom tractors moved the engine and its 300,000 pound tender car about one half a mile in the town of Amarillo, Texas where it will be preserved by a new railroad museum. —Ali Vossough
