联合太平洋(Union Pacific)翻新FEF和Bigboy这两个蒸汽机车,都是组织一个回送活动,不算盛大吧,但是肯定附近的车迷是都知道的。当初回送Bigboy的时候,那个活动英文叫“The UP 4014 Project - Memories of the Move”,我转帖过来的时候给翻译成“回送记忆”(见我的帖子http://bbs.hasea.com/thread-563705-1-1.html 4车)。现在FEF翻新好了,已经在路上跑了,Bigboy好像也快可以出库了。
英国铁路还有一个传统,就是当一个型号的客运机车将全面退役的时候,他们会将该型机车曾经用过的涂装轮番展示。

英文版:
During the decline in passenger work a number of locomotives were painted in "celebrity" colours, depicting various liveries that the type had carried during its history. This continued a tradition of painting 47s in unusual liveries, which dates back to 1977, when Stratford depot in East London painted two locomotives with huge Union Flags to celebrate the Silver Jubilee of Queen Elizabeth II.[30]
