BIG BOY 4014 & U.P.

[@yardmaster67]

U.P. needs to hire this man for doing video and pictures for their company.

[@NickW.H.]

Wouldn’t that be a sweet gig?!

[@wasatchrangerailway6921]

That is right, this guy knows how to do it! Wonderfully done!

[@1940limited]

I love all the crowds it draws everywhere. I'm glad so many people are interested. UP does a hell of a job with their historic equipment. What a great PR program. there was a time when UP management didn't think that way. Now they have the greatest steam program of any railroad.

[@leekit6099]

Great job! So far this is the best capture. This Big Boy is one month older than my momma. All those atoms pulled together feel so alive and sound so HaPpy to be in motion 😁 thinking of it that way makes me drop a bunch of tears joyfully 😂

[@2666loco]

Great photography, crystal clear. Thanks for sharing with us who couldn't be there.

[@NickW.H.]

Thank you!

Thank you!

[@Edyth_Hedd]

This is one of the best videos of Big Boy I've seen so far, Wyoming Hunter. Well done!

[@NickW.H.]

Thank you! I appreciate the kind words!

[@philmacgregor1374]

I think this fiŕst video

I love those old steam locomotives and great job on the photography, very cool video! 🚂

Catching 4014 between the moving Freight cars with a great effect

[@marcstube17]

this is, by far, the best video yet. Great job!

[@NickW.H.]

Thank you! I appreciate you checking the video out!

[@yardmaster67]

This has got to be the best video so far I have seen done on the 4014. Excellent job sir !!!

[@NickW.H.]

I’m glad you like it!

[@2quintly]

The UP slogan "Building America" is demonstrated by these 2 great steam locomotives and the real American spirit of "can do, will do". The Union Pacific Railroad with Ed Dickens and the Steam Crew proves America is really a great country.

[@shivasorion2014]

Excellent work. Thank you for sharing.

[@NickW.H.]

Thank you, and no problem. This is a huge part of America history. I’m glad I was able to see it in its new glory!

[@Cpt_Boony_Hat]

Well done wish I was back in Wyoming to see it

[@andrewwalsh4798]

Fantastic. Thanks.

[@crickittorres8077]

Wow I lived off and on as a kid here in the 70's and 80' s my dad was an iron worker grandpa was a carpenter union jobs were big money in the mines

[@NickW.H.]

They say the coal mines are almost depleted, if so there really won’t be much left there.

[@HughFromAlice]

Yep, well done with this video!!! Great job :-)

[@NickW.H.]

Thank you!

Nice job!

[@gerardomanzanares1673]

Exelente Video ferroviario Con esas poderosas y potentes Locomotoras A vapor y la locomotora diesel electrica arrastrando un tren de pasajeros Que Bellesa de locomotoras 👊👍

[@NickW.H.]

Gerardo Manzanares Gracias! son verdareramente geniales.

[@sidnzrael2433]

A very creative take, of this historic event. Agree possibly the best, creatively to date. However, I too think the music was a little loud at times, when there was sufficient steam audio. Thank you, from a long, long, way a way.

[@NickW.H.]

I’ve been waiting for the music comments. First there are a thousand videos on YT of these trains and they are all the same. Train comes down the track and they pan over to it. Why would I want to make the same video as everyone else? I am a creative film maker and if I made the same video as everyone else... well that’s not very creative.

[@sidnzrael2433]

Back again and enjoying your vid. I should have said your choice of music was fitting. To me anyway. You are quite right to look 'outside the box' and offer a take on a subject in a creative manner. I like your style.Wyoming Hunter, travel carefully. There seems to be many people and cars following this epic machine...Are/if, you one of them?

[@NickW.H.]

SidnzRael No I’m not following it, it just came through my town. Tons of people following it!

[@gerardomanzanares1673]

Qiue Hermosas y poderosas locomotoras A Vapor es una bellesa obserbar en Video ferroviario mostrando esas potentes locomotoras a Vapor 👍👊

[@briankistner4331]

844 whistle sounds sick. Should sound close to 4014s. I did read somewhere UP changed the whistle on 844, but I thought they changed it back after fans complained.

[@thomasbeutel7931]

Well done!

[@gerardomanzanares1673]

Exelente Video ferroviario Con esas poderosas locomotoras las locomotoras de vapor Son Complemente diferentes a las Locomotoras Diesel electricas en manejo y el mantenimieto 👍👊

Yo no opere ninguna locomotora a vapor pero Si Opere locomotoras diesel electricas pero es una bellesa Ver esas locomotoras a vapor en movimiento Exelente Video Ferroviario 👍👊

[@MikesProjectsandHobbiesMC]

Is Bog Boy only running the front set of drivers or is that how it functions when it first starts out? I have noticed on several videos that the steam is only venting from the front cylinders most of the time. Almost make sense, it doesn't need full power to pull what its pulling.

[@NickW.H.]

Yeah that thing is made to haul a bunch! I’m sure it doesn’t need full power. I saw you asked what camera I us. I was using a Sony A7Sii and a Sony A6500 and of course the Drone

[@MikesProjectsandHobbiesMC]

What camera do you use?

[@acts2211]

Great video I would have preferred it without the music so I can get the full effect 2 steam locomotive

Good job on the video,...... But way the heck is the 4014 spinning its Driver's?? Is Ed Putting grease on the tracks two?? The 4000's were built to make good transaction!

[@organbuilder272]

Interesting. 844 has 2 cylinders and when it starts or is running you can surely hear them in action. The chuff is loud and sharp- indicating high pressure. BUT on 4014, the Whatsit gear is about in neutral and there is not chuffing despite having 4 cylinders. indicating very little pressure being admitted to the cylinders. Two questions come to mind - Why not tighten the packing glands on the front engine. The second, after years of rebuild, why is it necessary to pump grease into bearings every 100 miles or so. This old fashioned requirement was the plague of steam locomotives and one of the many reasons they faded from active service. Why rebuilt that amazing, magnificent, powerful machine and not put in roller bearings. Would that have taken away from it's historic value or ability to pull heavy loads? It certainly would have eliminated the need to stop for grease instead of water. After all, they converted it to oil and put in an entirely new lubrication system. Why not bearings and make it even more efficient. To the photographer - Highest compliment. Amazing job of having clear pictures, steady and very interesting perspective.

[@NickW.H.]

I can’t answer any of the train questions but I thank you for the compliment! I love to get quality footage of really cool stuff and man I had an awesome day seeing these amazing peace’s of America history and getting to geek out with my cameras!

[@wraywraith]

Pretty much 1/4 throttle only till she breaks in maby on the way back we will see some steam out of it, But mind you this loco can pull almost 100 cars and 5000 tons......The big boy would be at idle pulling that consist

[@gentelbenn62]

Maybe later we may find out why they took it out at night. But leaving the yard with both front cylinder packings leaking. Perhaps traffic conflicts.

[@DavidBrown-cs1tq]

Are there any plans to send it towards Omaha?

[@NickW.H.]

David Brown on UP’s web site it says it will be touring the country but I didn’t look into it. You might check there.

[@thunderbird1921]

How big is Point of Rocks? First time I've heard of this town.

[@NickW.H.]

It’s an old stage stop on the Overland trail. Now it has a hand full of trailer homes and a truck stop/bar.

[@thunderbird1921]

@@NickW.H. Wow, so it goes WAY back, to the Pioneer days.

[@NickW.H.]

Yes, I wanted to get some video of the old buildings for the video but the trains were a couple hours behind and my kids were ready to get home!

[@frankanddanasnyder3272]

All the loose spikes on the track was a bit troubling

[@jameskratzer2014]

Looks like the left front cylinder rod packing on Big Boy is leaking pretty bad....:(

[@theq4602]

They all look like that. I think its strange how 844 makes WAY more smoke and steam than 4014 does

[@jameskratzer2014]

The Q , they haven’t been running it hard yet, they’re taking their time breaking it in. But if you watch the video again, pay attention when they start up after servicing the rods. The front left is loosing steam, but the rear left isn’t.

[@johnspradling7906]

The music is intrusive. At an historic moment like this, one wants to hear the sounds of the locomotive.

[@sharkheadism]

@@NickW.H. You can be creative and make things worse, which the music did.

[@NickW.H.]

So as of right now there are 261 👍on this video. You and 9 others gave it a 👎🏻 so your opinion doesn’t mean anything to me. I love how you think you know what’s good and bad when you know nothing about film/video. I can tell you’re not a cheater and know nothing about film or video because you wouldn’t leave comments like this. I see lots of videos I don’t like but I’d never leave a negative comment because I know how much work goes into filming, producing, editing and uploading videos. Who am I to judge someone’s creativity. Would you go to an art show and tell an artist what you don’t like about his painting? Probably not.,. So why would you give your opinion on someone’s video? I get it, you live a miserable life that you hate everything about, but you don’t need to try and drag others down with you. Cheer up and enjoy KZbin videos for what they ARE, not what YOU want them to be.

[@sharkheadism]

@@NickW.H. I didn't give this video a thumbs down. Regardless, impressive tantrum

[@NickW.H.]

Why thank you! Let me know when you get your video up so I can see your representation of the trains.

[@ls6king316]

For some strange reason I don’t think the big boy is running on it’s own why is a diesel pushing it?

[@NickW.H.]

I don't think it's pushing it. I think they just have it for a backup or maybe its used for a generator for the cars behind it. I'm not real sure but you can see some wheel slip in the video when big boy starts moving.
