If a 844/3985/4014 tripleheader to Chicago can happen, that'll be cool!

[@LegoWormNoah101]

Nice to see this absolute *BEAST* back from the dead!

[@nigtcreature1837]

This beast wasn't dead. He was just taking a long rest.

I could just loop this and watch it non stop !!!

[@Union4014]

good 4 u

[@lowrangemaniac5326]

The feeling of power that's give you from a steam loco (expetially if it is Big Boy), is incomparable!!!

[@davecruzen9352]

This was by far one of the best videos of the 4014. Brought back memories as a kid.

[@MackeyBigBoy4014]

I was in Altoona to see the Big Boy on public display and see the Experience the Union Pacific Rail Car. The crowds were huge. About 2,000 to 5,000 people.

[@yuwonoabu5556]

Big boy Amazing Salam from Indonesia.

thx u

[@sri420in]

Oh WOW, superb capture of the giant. Over splendid terrain, thank you very much for sharing 👍👍👍

[@Jinnoth]

Can't wait to see this go up Cajon Pass in October

[@scottpoole5593]

Wow! Bring her to Norfolk Southern rails for a tour please! Plenty of fans await!

[@regularguy7266]

Although we can dream like a foamer, there is extremely little to no chance 4014 will do a tour on Norfolk Southern. If it did, it would have to be a one-and-done deal between Union Pacific and NS, and 4014 would have to run in the western part of the system. It couldn't go even more east to a state like Pennsylvanis due to its immense size and weight. Even 3985, the precursor to 4014, when it did the Clinchfield Santa Train Special on CSX rails in Tenessee and Kentucky, had problems going that east. Luckily, Norfolk Southern reaches as far west as Missouri, although it would almost never make a deal with UP. But, if that sliver a possibility comes to realization, it would be the tour of the decade.

[@everettthepetractionguy4222]

Wow! Great to see an articulated steam engine brought back from a long, hibernated sleep for the world to see again! American exceptionalism at its best!!!

[@jamesyates9378]

Big boy back at it again

[@rajappanpk9569]

Nice story see this message was published.

[@narendrajoshi2379]

As I retired in the year 2000 as a Loco Pilot but what I am seeing now is very very excellent vedios I am feeling more informative and proud of this generation Loco Diesel, coal fired steam Engines, and electrical engines and happy to see the condition of working loco pilot

[@MPT_Productions]

Great shots!!

[@LarryWGrant-dw6jo]

Fantastic production value here! Best video I've see yet of the U.P. 4014. Looking forward to the release of the Blu-ray. Great work!

[@bkaden1]

Great work! I was the one with the kids at the Kettle River bridge at Sandstone, MN. Very nice to meet you and chat for a bit. We will be ordering some of your DVDs!

[@Steamtrainvideos]

Bryant, it was nice talking to you at Sandstone. I hope to have the 1st 4014 video done at the end of the month.

Big Boy steam engine is a largest steam engine than others steam locomotive engine. I always enjoy these video.

[@kansasstatealerting2874]

Saw this thing in Topeka Kansas.

[@megatwingo]

Amazing locomotive and an amazing video about it. Thumbs up! :)

[@stripervince1]

Amazing that thing could even move. More amazing is the fact the rail could support its 1.2 million pounds of sheer mass. I hung around the one at steam Town PA, I believe it's UP 4018. I was a conductor for CP rail some years ago, and did some moves and switching in there. It's a mind bogging piece of machinery.

[@Union4014]

ik when i was first driven i was like: im so big and heavy how do i even move

[@henk188]

the Great , Steam Locomotive Big Boy4104 , I'm Amazed from Indonesia 😲👍🤞

[@theodorenovak3363]

Every clip I watch. I'm sorry but that diesel engine in the middle just spoils the entire experience

[@everettthepetractionguy4222]

I agree. But, 4014 is still an awesome sight to behold!

[@hanssiegel9882]

Solution: add steam engine to every diesel/electric engine driven train.

[@hezekiahvanfarthinghorniii8042]

Theodore Novak unfortunately but quite necessarily in this day and age, it’s required to be there, as there is insufficient steam locomotive support along the route, and FRA requires one or the other.

[@RailwayZone]

Nice Coverage..

[@scoobycarr5558]

Just imagine on the double track on the former CNW in Iowa - harkens back to when the CNW once had the H class steamers thunder across the landscape

[@easonlau6138]

One of those famous steam locomotives around the world are SR West Country and Battle of Britain Classes, Northfolk and Western Railway Class J, Russian Locomotive Class LV, JNR Class D51, The German Prussian steam train and the others.

The great union Pacific big boy 4014.

[@Petemonster62]

I wonder, at the first filming location, why the railroad didn't build an embankment for the track? It dips & rises like the parallel two-lane highway.

[@tonyburzio4107]

Telephoto lens distortion.

[@dwkcamman611]

Awesome!!

[@chendersonrailproductions704]

Didn’t realize you were chasing man(it’s Christian Karl’s friend!) I chased last week from Wednesday to Friday and actually did pretty good.

We must have overlapped on Wednesday. I chased it to Warrens, watched it leaving, then headed to O'Hare to catch my flight.

[@subzerofromny735]

Do they really need to put a diesel behind a locomotive that can pull an 80 ton frieght train by itself?

[@johnvogt5019]

The diesel is used for the electric to the rest of the train.. it is not helping to pull the train

[@subzerofromny735]

John Vogt so steam locomotives cant provide electricity for the coach cars?

[@johnvogt5019]

@@subzerofromny735 no they can not supply electric

[@subzerofromny735]

John Vogt wait then how did passenger trains pulled by steam locomotives in the 30’s 40’s and 50’s have electricity? Or were they just regular coach cars with no lighting?

[@johnvogt5019]

@@subzerofromny735 the cars had there own power by way of a generator under the car ..the real early ones where kerosene lights and a lot belly stove ..

Yes the diesel was only for dynamic breaking and electricity to the coaches.

Where's the chugging sound

Hey what about ditch lights? Oh wait I think ditch lights don't fit on a steam engine ...
