Wilford Aday, Lawrence, a retired Santa Fe railroad conductor of 44 years, gives a thumbs-up to the steam locomotive Challenger as she blows her whistle by the Union Pacific Depot and heads east toward Kansas City. The Challenger, the world's largest operating steam locomotive, passed through Lawrence on Wednesday for a nine-state, 3,500-mile tour to Houston, where it will be on public display during Super Bowl XXXVIII activities.
Supposed to be in town soon - I hope to get a look at it.
