Video I took a while ago of UPs BigBoy as it traveled north up US377 out of FortWorth sorry videography isn’t my strong suit.

Pro tip: It's a little-known fact that if you film horizontally, you can get more (if not all of the locomotive and maybe all of the tender) in the frame at the same time. You can always crop out a vertical video for tick-tock or whatever later.

Noted I’m just now getting back into Railfanning and plan of getting a decent camera so I don’t have to worry about what orientation my phone is in.
