Big Boy 4014 Goes to Texas

Enjoy great steam action as Union Pacific 4-8-8-4 “Big Boy” #4014 travels between Parsons, Kansas and Houston Texas.
See 4014 as she goes down the old Katy on her way to Fort Worth. You’ll see the giant Big Boy passing through rural Oklahoma and crossing the Red River into Texas.
Watch a great Ft. Worth departure as the Big Boy works through Tower 55 and travels on the old SP through central Texas, passing Texas A&M University and the quaint old town of Navisota. Huge crowds came out to see the Big Boy, and 4014 did not disappoint. If you’re a Big Boy fan or enjoy large steam locomotives, you’ll want to watch today!

An old train. An old car. An old bitty. I needed all three on my Nostalgia Bingo card.

[@TexasRailfan21-RailfanRyan]

37:21 sadly this scene is now but a memory as of November 2022 Tower 55 was demolished just like Tower 60 before it even though the tower is gone it will still be referred to on the timetable as Tower 55

[@Texasrailfan89]

Indeed my friend

[@TexasRailfan21-RailfanRyan]

@@Texasrailfan89 for the last two years before the tower was demolished I was given the opportunity to take pictures of it close-up as I rode on Amtrak trains 21 and 22 the Texas Eagle as I crossed the diamonds I took good photos of the Tower and even the site of the tower after it was demolished it’s surprising that the solar plate was the only thing that didn’t get removed

Very nice! I was there all three days it was stopped in Ft. Worth. Was almost on your camera, too!

[@lightsttn1a267]

It's a sad thing that Steam Engines can't be more powerful without destroying our atmisfere, so they don't have to go away. I love watching the steam Trains run. That includes those that are for riding on like those in Train Museums.

[@stevenramos1604]

I was there at the telge road railroad crossing. At 59:00 2 years ago in August of 2021. The second I saw the Union Pacific 4014 in person. Also I found myself in the video.

29:50 Oh yeah, there is always one. When I was getting a runby out of Lawrence, KS, this lady was standing a few feet from me, saw my camera where I placed, and even said hello. And SHE STILL WALKED IN FRONT OF IT as 4014 was rolling by. Like UUUUUGGGGHHHHH 😂

I find this very interesting. When I saw the UP big boy in North Platte this year I didn’t see the chalk that said Big Boy with the V under it. Makes me think 🤔

[@jacksonpugh6423]

21:58 And don’t forget, The auxiliary tenders were named after 2 members involved with the steam program notably in the 90s. (Or so I was told)

Wow! We meet again!

[@lightsttn1a267]

I wanted to see if Big Boy really kinda went in 2 directions when it ran around a corner. You showed the 4014 Train in Navasota. I looked to see if it really did. I wish you'd make a video about how the Magnificent Train actually works. I always loved Trains. From the Trains in New Your, and New Jersey. I expect to watch this, and other Train Videos more than once, and I'm wanting to also see that articulation you said went around curves. I play Pixel Federation's "Train Station 2, and other Train Games, but many are designed to empty pockets of many like myself. Thanks Again for the great history video of the Big Boy 4014, and I'm looking for more like it. Godspeed, and Good Luck, and thanks for the great job. BTW (BY-THE-WAY): I don't have, can't afford home Internet, so I watch these videos on my BLU PRODUCTS G9 PRO CELLPHONE WITH ANDROID 10. Thanks Again.

[@devernepersonal3636]

That is the problem with UP steam, there are too many non railfans out and then sometimes that makes other railfans have to really cut around other fans for a shot. which in turn means no one has a nice clean shot. But at times (like when it arrives somewhere) it can make for a really cool scene.

[@rodshoaf]

The best way to get a new railfan is to start with a non-railfan

[@johnburger3287]

Those auxiliary water tenders were not steam locomotive tenders. They are fuel cars (tenders) from the UP gas turbine engines built in the 1950's and 60's. They were called the "Big Blows" and were all retired by 1970.

[@hotwheelscrazy2.o371]

You forgot another reason why there's the diesel Because there's not as many places to stop to refuel I only know that because of another video talking about the 4014 But to be honest, I would prefer to see them build a diesel that doesn't look like one. So it looks like 40 14 is moving on its own to make it look better with no diesel behind it
