Dozens of people stood on large piles of rocks, while others craned their necks, hoping to get the first view of steam from a last-of-its-kind locomotive Tuesday afternoon as it approached the Great Overland Station in North Topeka on the Union Pacific railroad tracks.
The steam locomotive, known as the Big Boy, started the day near Union Station in Kansas City, Mo. It was about a half-hour behind schedule when it arrived about 12:15 p.m. at the Great Overland Station, 701 N. Kansas Ave.
No one seemed to mind the wait on the sun-splashed day, with the noon temperature hovering around 60 degrees.
