The Union Pacific "Big Boy" locomotives are not only an icon of US railroading, but an icon of worldwide railroading for their impressive size and power representing one of the many impressive steam locomotive designs that were being introduced during the last stand of the steam era. Quite a fitting design for the Union Pacific Railroad who are a railway icon themselves!

Well it started in the last week of 2025, so I would say when it comes to labeling Week 50 (2025)/Week 1 (2026) might've been more fitting but at the end of the day a minor slipup like that doesn't matter that much especially considering it's awhellans first time setting up a thread, it effectively means the same thing anyway. We have 2 weeks to submit and that's mainly what matters.
