My Last Chase Of UP 4014 "Big Boy" Was A Race Against Other Railfans!

[@JawTooth]

Awesome! I didn't know that you chased it. I got it in Illinois and got home late last night. Its a wonder there aren't more auto accidents with the way people drive.

[@jasonasselin]

This was years ago when I did.

Big boy came to my town in August 2021. But before it got to town, I went down highway so I could see it pass me in full action. When it passed the whole ground shook like an earthquake. When I walked away, I was shaking too, but it was because it was excitement.. This is such a beautiful thing and anyone who gets a chance to see it should take full advantage of it. Take your kids and take your grandkids and take your neighbors kids to see it. This is something that they will never forget.

Your camera angles were superior to all the other ones posted to KZbin. And I loved the cracked windshield and comments on crazy drivers. This one is better than all the others. Fantastic job!

It when 4014 came across the bridge over the Wisconsin River you get a great prospective of how long engine and tender are. Thanks for sharing. 👍

[@DaveInCanada081]

Wow, Jason. Thanks for chasing this down for us. 👍

[@Jleed989]

A long time ago

[@markdillenburg8635]

These engines are incredible engineering marvels!!!

[@David-yo8oz]

Thanks Jason. Great video. Finally, another rail fan as "sick" as I am. Went from Wakefield to Portal ND in April to see the 2816. Went to Duluth MN. in 2019 for the festival of steam and the 4015. Worth every penny and every minute.

Great flashback catches awesome chase and nice video

[@wandtvdougwolfe1]

Great video. I caught it in Villa Grove & Tuscola, Illinois. I also used a drone to get some aerials.

[@michaellachapell3455]

Definitely a piece of Railroad history !

[@chuxproductions1090]

Spellbinding! Thanks for sharing!!!

[@gagethedeerkiller]

6:33 honestly at first I couldn't tell if that was the whistle or just the train chugging lol. That was cool

[@jamessotherden5909]

Impressive machine . Thanks for posting.

[@paulsmith5398]

Well, you did get to chase the Big Boy a few years ago, and your footage was pretty darn good❗I for one am NOT going to complain, your arieal views were every bit as good as RedsIowaTrainVidoes.

[@PeterMarsden-q9s]

That's one beautiful engine Jason - and so well put together - thank you.... by the way, nice hair cut!

[@thomasmackowiak]

Thank you, Jason, for bringing tis video from 2019 back for us to watch. I enjoyed watching this video! (Posted 11 September 2024 t 1056 CDT.)

[@Kathrynyoder-x2j]

I love seeing big boy. One of my favorite locomotives

[@vmj255]

That train is a thing of beauty! 😍

[@JeffreyLarryEastTexasRealtor]

great video. thanks for catching so many different angles! I only caught it once from one angle, your video brings more life to it! Thanks again!

[@wilburroth5150]

Nice video!

[@MidWestRailFan-1z2eq]

Nice, I got to see it just east of Rochelle IL!!

[@nightwatchman5848]

Thank you, Jason, for traveling to parts unknown to film such a beauty. Think it would be safer to park your car on the railroad tracks then to drive with those idiots that are in a hurry to get nowhere.

[@markat9576]

Holy crap, look at all the Amish. I’m still giggling.

[@sharoncearley9795]

A super track Jason..............

[@JeromeHeim-yv6np]

Nice video

[@londonwhaley8690]

[@michaelmccoy-vo4mb]

[@SchwarzeTulpe]

Well, if nothing else summer 2024 was the summer of the steam locomotive.

[@Brian_rock_railfan]

Awesome steam train 🚂 video 👍

[@danisgay100]

I must say what a turn out of folks for this old steamer people obviously still love the railroad it just takes a little innovation in to ideas even if there old ideas brought back for people who might have never seen a steamer or some of us older folks who are nostalgic for the old good memories

[@railyardfilms6491]

4014 is like ⚡

[@andrewboyd9946]

A vary good chance in deed!

[@franklinwerren7684]

That Jason is how a good railroad is run!!! And even the Amish have to step out and watch!!! Too bad the Big Boy does not come past Chicago and head up the mainline to Buffalo!!! DE N2JYG

[@kimcooper4751]

Using wife's phone not her opinions The Amish are thinking wow steam power what will the English think of next

[@thomasrankin8506]

@Jaw tooth wow I like that big boy

[@charlesbennett8700]

I agree that its a piece of railroad history, but how many times do you have to chase it across the country? I mean that seeing how the rail fans were acting with their driving and being fools to get to the next place to catch it makes me just want to stay home and watch the videos.

[@jameskirk5906]

Nice! MAGA NATION 2024!!!

[@nigelterry9299]

A pox on the diesel.....

[@TylerReynolds-uy2tk]

In a hurry to go no were
