Great footage! Glad Aussies are enjoying this icon of history as much as we are!

A big boy, a 4-8-4, and a diesel. That train could travel through time with all that horsepower.

Lucky Aussie bloke got to go to Wyoming and Utah to video these magnificent locomotives in action with spectacular scenery. Wonderful filming, so many superb locations. I just subscribed to your channel and please do the same. Cheers from the Train Lord in South Australia

Nice job. Tripods of one kind or another do the trick. Do you have a fluid head tripod? You have some good talent. I love how you were able to record the Big Boy in the natural settings of Wyoming and Utah. Too many people shoot just close ups. Those can be good shots, but....Personally, I like to see the whole story, including the scenery the train is travelling through. Nice presentation.

Nice steady minimalist camera work allows all attention on the stars of the show. Would've liked red Echo Canyon included as per others' coverage, so you only get 9.5/10. Others' footage of snow clad mountains amazing also. Above all ... seeing is believing ... a Big Boy back in serivce thanks to UP management and steam restoration team. Amazing work, steam restoration on Company time and Company Money. Will be great if it's a financial as well as historical success. To think UP has never not had a steam 'fleet'! Hope someone produces a pro-grade dvd one day. Meanwhile there's top material on you tube, like this posting. Again great work! JohnB, Brisbane, Aust.

John, would have loved to have been able to do Echo Canyon on the return, but unfortunately I had to head home. Was raining quite heavily and fogged in when I checked it out in the morning when heading to Ogden, so took refuge in the car where I could keep the cameras dry until the train arrived.

@@F0T0Zreply from JohnB But hay, you got to see Big Boy! Bit bigger than our Queensland C17 and even an NSW Garratt. Wouldna been nice standing next to you in Wyoming and Utah taking taking in the reality of UPs amazing restoration on a massive scale ..... Thanks for reply. Again top score due to steady camera work and coverage. (There is an unbrella to tripod stem bracket available, which works when there's minimal winds.)

Great video, the locations are wonderful, did you have local help picking them ? Graeme, Thirroul NSW.

A bit of prior research on Google Maps. The train did run quite late - particularly on the first day, meaning the sun had moved off the side before the train arrived. In hindsight, I probably could have fitted in more locations, but wanted to play it safe.
