Union Pacific 4014 Big Boy Greeley Departure

[@catman0623]

The last time I saw this engine and coal car was in Denver rotting in the harsh Colorado sunshine. It was a wreck, but somehow I sensed this engine had had a great life, and had survived to be only one of three left in existence. I was enchanted with its immense size, and it was forever imprinted into my mind. I am overjoyed to see that Union Pacific has restored this big boy. The engine is a major feat of engineering, and will always live on the minds and hearts of others.

[@michaelperkins5858]

This engine came from the Rail Giants collection in Pomona CA. The one in Denver is in the Forney Museum. There are eight of the original twenty five still in existence at museums across the country.

Our most famous locomotive is the Flying Scotsman. It did a tour around the United States once, but very nearly didn't make it back. Barely escaped being scrapped on the other side of Atlantic.

[@williamsporing1500]

My grandfather was an engineer for the B&O. I was young, but I remember riding in a steam locomotive. I helped the fireman throw coal too! I rode in a diesel a few times with him on a run from Cincinnati’s union terminal to Lima and back too. He was a great man, retired in ‘72, and I have all of his time books and all kinds of railroad stuff.

The B&O museum has I think the only surviving Pacific camelback from the CRRNJ. Lucky lucky!

Hi Steve how are you doing 😊

[@louisxxvdefrance6741]

@@kashifkhan3040 Yes. In this departure, the diesel is powering the train. 4014 is clearly idling along, because there is no "chuffing" from her drivers. She's just rolling along. There are other videos that show this same thing.

[@kashifkhan3040]

@@louisxxvdefrance6741 yep we had steam locos running revenue service for pakistan railways in the 70s and 80s. Got to ride their trains and see a lot of them running up close. None as big as 4014 of course. This is a great piece of history to preserve.

[@ronniescott5179]

The UP steam crew have done a great job getting this ancient loco in to such beautiful condition. Well done it is better than new and good for many years. Steam locos are character machines which talk to you so the engineer can tell how to drive it and get the best result. Electric or Diesel locos do not have character hence are less interesting

[@pauldefour3221]

Beautiful Big Boy !.... The king of steam locomotives.....

[@jamesmoore5630]

I remember when the 4014 was in Dallas, at The Great State Fair of Texas, Age of Steam museum, and I got in it, on it, went underneath it, went in the tender and even the firebox!!! I have not seen it since it has been restored and I have never ridden on it while it was running!!!

[@deeannsmith3327]

Awesome. I got to see it up close when it came through Jacksonville Texas. Wish it would come back👍🇺🇸

[@gwaithwyr]

Greeley was the place where I saw the Challenger during my 2010 railfan trip (from my home in UK) to Colorado. I had seen 4014 at Pomona in 2008. My five USA trips gave me some great memories.

There are a lot of operating steam locomotives in the US such as the WP&YR 73 Southern 4501,630,401 and 154 Little River 110 and 126 the entirety of the locomotive on the cumbres and Toltec and Durango and silverton which is like 20 narrow mikados or more Dollywood 192 and 70 Tweetsie 190 and 12 SP 4449, U.S. Sugar 148 the list just goes on and on of steam locomotives that operate in the entirety of the United States you’ve just gotta look because 4014 while super cool and all isn’t the only steamer in the United States or the most interesting to study and learn about

Imagine the double-header they'll have once 3985 is restored....

[@1940limited]

I notice the diesel is 4015. Is there significance to that? I see the chain guard is finally on the lubricator on the front engine. I guess it's a lubricator. Maybe someone out there knows for sure.

[@rherman9085]

Typically, they are used as backups .... Just in case something goes wrong.

[@FFred-us9tw]

The 4015 is specially equipped to provide PTC information to the operator displays in the cab of the 4014. It also provides dynamic braking on long descending grades and acts as a sort of insurance policy to move the 4014 off the mainline if something were to go wrong. There are quite a few videos with interviews with Ed Dickens where he explains all this.

[@tomcline5631]

I think it's cool that U.P. used the 4015 engine number on the (insulting) insurance policy diesel. If you gotta have(and they do) might as well try to make it cool!

[@FFred-us9tw]

The 4015 is far more than an insurance policy in case the 4014 breaks down. It’s there primarily for dynamic breaking on long descending grades. It also provides all the PTC data to the operator screens in the cab of the 4014.

[@tomcline5631]

I meant insurance policy more as insurance demanded. I figured the breaking power,just from other things I've read,but I didn't think about the other sensor readings,and info screens on the big boy. That's cool!
