Probably hauling it to Wyoming to their restoration yard. At first I thought it might be the "Big Boy" but that is not a 4-8-8-4. Great shot though.

The angle distorts it a bit. You can tell it is old by the rolling stock behind.

From the Wikipedia article:

The locomotive's throttle included eleven settings, ranging from one (idling) to eleven (full speed).

!!! UNKNOWN CONTENT TYPE !!!

a C&O engineer expressed his dissatisfaction with a local speed limit of 75 miles per hour (121 km/h), noting that he would "sure like to be able to pull it back to eleven !"

Heh. Crank it to eleven. Eleven is one more than ten.
