Hello Rob, your video is one of the best close ups of 4014’s start of the epic journey to Ogden, and I been binge watching videos of the event most of the day. Your shoot made me feel like I was there. Thanks for sharing 👍👍👍😎😎😎 Cary

I don’t think you need to apologise for anything Rob, you seemed to have stood your ground extremely well, I don’t think there could have been a better position to take those shots than the one you found. What a fantastic loco that is and is obviously one of my favourites and to see this now alive once more just blows me away. To actually be there where you were standing would have been a dream come true, the smell, the steam and smoke and of course just seeing it in all its freshly painted glory must have been just awesome - well done buddy and thank you for sharing this with us too.

Hi Graham, It is a locomotive of staggering proportions. Our cameras were eight feet off the ground and we were lucky to have a prime location. I did not want the overview on the bridge, I wanted to be close. The effort was nothing, it was a moment to dream of. Big Boy just after topping Sherman pass. Summit of the grade of the continental railroad coming out of Cheyenne. It was wonderful. A lovely memory my friend. Thank you, Rob

Great video Rob! And a fabulous turnout too! Reminds me of when our biggest steam loco returned to service, the iconic NSWGR Beyer Garratt 6029 4-8-4 + 4-8-4 of which I was on its inaugural run. It was fantastic! So pleased to see 4014 back on the boil again though. Such an iconic piece of American railroad history. Long live the Big Boy! Cheers Caleb

Hi Caleb, I was a great event. I think the UP tried Garrett designs but had problems. When the war broke out, they needed a way to bring huge consists of military equipment up over the Sherman Hill as the called it. It is really a pass. They built these 4-8-8-4s to do that work. That is all they did from 42 till 51. They were in the shop more than on the rails. It was a war machine. Thank you so much, I am so happy you found this, Rob

Your video is superb, and it made me feel like I was right there with you. Thank you so much for that!! You did an amazing job! I'm just in awe. I watched 5 years ago as they painstakingly got her back on the rails in Pomona, for the trip back to WY. Seeing this? Priceless! She lives again! What an amazing event!

1,000s Hi Joe, my pleasure. I was lucky, 4014 stopped right in front of me. I had hoped to get a good clip of it leaving and positioned myself to optimize the chance of that, but bang, there it was stopping right there. Since I had staked out a prime location when it stopped many people wanted to be standing where I was standing. It was a fun day and I have to admit that whistle brought a tear of joy to my eye.

Could someone please explain, why does the 4014 requires the assistance of one other steam locomotive and a diesel locomotive for such a short train, thank you.

special train on way to utah to mark railroads 150th birthday running them doubleheader. Big boy dont need help. as far other unit i think more for breaking with dynamics there not using it to push train at all could be wrong on this but us may have a rule if a steamer on main line must have diesel unit in train i cant rember if thats legit or not

I think this is a double header featuring the 844. Also the diesel is used a a generator for the coaches since a steam locomotive can not generate electricity

Good vid. Question though. Each time I see a video of Big Boy it’s always accompanied by another steam engine and modern diesel. Is it still not capable of pulling under its own power? Still confused. Thx

The diesel is for electricity. Although 844 was built for passenger service it cannot cope with the demands for heating and cooling a modern passenger car. 844 was there as a back up in case 4014 had any problems. Thank you, Rob

@@FarlandHowe The diesel locomotive in tow was NOT for passenger car electricity. UP does not own any modern diesels with HEP (Head End Power) for coaches. The passenger coaches get there power from a dedicated "Power car" which has an onboard generator. It's the second car behind the Diesel 8937. Car # 209. The diesel locomotive is there to provide dynamic braking when needed and as an insurance policy should the 4014 break down and need to be pushed off the mainline rather than delay other trains. The same reason UP runs all there trains with multiple locomotives. Now the trailing diesel also provides PTC (Positive Train Control) for the 4014 to comply with FRA regulations.
