The Big Boy chase and the Evanston Roundhouse - May 2019

Back to the Evanston Wyoming Roundhouse to check on progress with the restoration of the shops. The Big Boy will be laid over here for 2 days on the trip down.
They have been working on the shop roundhouse and depot for years and the hope was it would all be "finished" for the 150th anniversary of the driving of the Golden Spike. Almost! They are working RIGHT NOW to get more finished. The roundhouse is still missing much of it's concrete floor and several of its huge locomotive doors. However, its looking amazing!!! And in a few days when the train arrives??.. Who knows!
Evanston’s Historic Roundhouse & Railyards were constructed in 1912-1914 by Union Pacific Railroad and features one of the last intact roundhouses on the UPRR line. In 2009, the city was able to refurbish the first of four sections of the Round-house as a public facility. The bi-level structure includes a spacious gallery, un upper level lounge, three small boardrooms and/or one large classroom. It also contains an elevator and two kitchenettes. Roundhouse Section One can easily accommodate up to 1,300 conference attendees and exhibitors. With a state-of-the-art audio/visual system, stages and podiums, banquet tables and chairs, the facility is fully equipped to host events of nearly any size. Across the plaza is the Machine Shop (renovated in 2004), a 17,000 sq. ft. building with a catering kitchen. The Roundhouse & Machine Shop can be rented together or separately. In addition, the community has an ample selection of caterers available to service such occasions. The City of Evanston proposes a minimal flat fee charge for the use of the facility. Reservations must be made as soon as possible, as the facility is used frequently throughout the year, especially during the summer months.
From their web site:
The Roundhouse gallery/ballroom can hold up to 900 attendees. The Portland Rose Classroom can accommodate 115 guests. Three small boardrooms can be sectioned off and each can hold 21 guests. The Upper Mezzanine Area can be used as classroom space, as well, and holds a capacity of 200.
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The "Pacific Railroad" and later as the "Overland Route") was a 1,912-mile (3,077 km) continuous railroad line constructed between 1863 and 1869 that connected the existing eastern U.S. rail network at Omaha, Nebraska/Council Bluffs, Iowa with the Pacific coast at the Oakland Long Wharf on San Francisco Bay. The rail line was built by three private companies over public lands provided by extensive US land grants. Construction was financed by both state and US government subsidy bonds as well as by company issued mortgage bonds. The Western Pacific Railroad Company built 132 mi (212 km) of track from Oakland/Alameda to Sacramento, California. The Central Pacific Railroad Company of California (CPRR) constructed 690 mi (1,110 km) eastward from Sacramento to Promontory Summit, Utah Territory. The Union Pacific built 1,085 mi (1,746 km) from the road's eastern terminus at Council Bluffs near Omaha, Nebraska westward to Promontory Summit.

On their first test run Thursday, it sounds like they were having some issues with the front cylinder rod packing joints leaking excessively, so they headed back to Cheyenne early.

[@indridcold8433]

@@mdgfb05 That is probably why the diesel was in tow. It was the first test drive and problems were anticipated. I question if one diesel could have moved the Big Boy full of water very successfully.

I heard the Big Boy calling to us here in Pomona I'm coming!, I'm coming!.

It will be coming back to its home away from home too I’m sure.

[@OpenRoader]

Hi Toy Man, I have a request, any chance you could do a video explaining what each of the cars behind the 4014/844 are that were on their first run? Thanks

[@ToyManTelevision]

The train back is huge. Sounds like a good idea. First car behind the locomotives has a water treatment system for the water tenders, a small boiler to help get a cold engine up to temperature and a basic machine shop. The next car has some storage for crowd control like railings and platforms but mostly several bed rooms for the crew on the road. Those two cars stay with the locomotives at all times.

[@IMRROcom]

Honda Element, Is that what I see in the windows. A car Aimed at the Young and active lifestyle with many features to support that lifestyle built into the car. The problem... All those features from easy access etc. were and still are very popular with the older, old and Very old people. Those old people flocked to Honda and purchased many of the Honda Elements. Now for the young hip and cool crowed, what could be the un coolest thing about a new car? Old people loving that car more than the so called and young active lifestyle types aka as The intended target market.

[@bernardc2553]

Hats off to Evanston's RR ppls Rnd House looks Great!, are you thinking maybe a live stream arrival of The Big Boy ? think the nite run went fairly well other than a gland packing issure, Boy Ed nailed the Chaulk signature didn't he What an Epic Historical event both the 150th AND UP, ED and his Steam Team pulling it off ,Truly Ammerica

[@ritaloy8338]

Getting ready to screw around is a very good thing to do and your videos the Union Pacific Locomotive 4014 being towed in route up from the Pomona Fairplex to Cheyeene Steam Shop was reason I subscribed to the Toy Man Television Channel in the first place.

[@rixretros]

You folks are NEVER boring. Another great video with some very nice stills thrown in. You captured the spirit of those bygone times perfectly. Keep up the great work !!!

[@ToyManTelevision]

rixretros thanks!! We are chasing the big boy and Golden Spike events! At some point we will need to lay off the screwing around for a few days to recover. Perhaps some model building screwing around.

[@ToyManTelevision]

Will be arriving here at Evanston in about 20 minutes. Crowds forming. Wow!!!

[@thunderbird1921]

What's amazing is after you realize how much manpower the steam shops and roundhouse in Evanston took to run, we must remember UP simultaneously was running similar facilities in Green River, Rawlins and Ogden in addition to Cheyenne! One remarkably busy and complex railroad!

[@ToyManTelevision]

It was an hour late. And that’s before almost hitting the rock. Sunday’s show!!

[@Romans--bo7br]

Thanks for the video, you two. : ) Just so you know.... the crew left Cheyenne late for the break-in run due to numerous little things that kept popping up during the day that had to be dealt with.... and in the haste of getting the pistons, rods, crossheads, etc installed the other night... they messed up on the rod packing for Both front cylinders, and especially the right one (Ed's side) was losing excessive amounts of steam pressure by the time they even got to Speer..... it was 11pm before they made it to Nunn, CO... and the front cylinders were losing so much pressure that they cancelled the rest of the run to Greeley and had the trailing SD70AC (No.3967) tow them in reverse from Nunn, CO. back to the shop in Cheyenne. Fortunately it Was only a break-in run... so they were not "working" the 4014 and were running "light" on the throttle, as the SD70 was providing most of the the motivation and the 4014 was under steam pressure just to keep the lubricators and everything working while they were breaking-in all the moving parts and checking the side rod bearings, etc, etc for temperatures and making sure nothing was running excessively hot. See Ya's in Ogden!!

It appears 4014 will not fit in the Evanston Roundhouse. (?) will 4014 be beside itself with the tender in one stall and the locomotive in the other? lol. kinda unorthodox if you ask me.

[@randallhawkinson4727]

A million thanks for the update. Can't wait to see your next video.... because nobody does it like you two! Whoooo hooooo!

[@PowerTrain611]

See all that steam constantly coming from the front pistons? That's a leak in the cylinder packing. It's an easy fix, and one of the only problems they had. That's why you take something of this magnitude for a test run! Gotta work out those kinks. For something this big, you would expect a few hitches, but for something as small as that to be one of the only issues, that really speaks for the craftsmanship of the UP Steam Team. They really did great! Cutting it close, though! Phew!

[@TrainChamber]

This is honestly astonishing! Im speechless lol

[@northeastrailwayproductions]

They absolutely should rebuild that engine for the round house. That would be amazing. It would really complete the round house as well as all these other engine restorations like the 4014.

[@ToyManTelevision]

Whoever prepared it for display really did it right!! Usually those things were just stuck in a park. No prep of any kind. At best drained the tender. But often they were half full of water, tender and boiler. And the boiler not cleaned out. Water leg a foot deep in lime and mud and water. And they rust from the inside out. The jacket was pulled off this little guy, probably to get rid of asbestos. And the boiler is great. The bottom of the water leg perfect. I’ll bet it was kept in good working order, clean and well oiled right to the end of service. Then drained and closed up for storage. Then retired and put in the park

[@jamesshanks2614]

Actually they did run into a problem the piston packing for the forward engine is leaking excessively but it's not a major problem. I have to wonder if the customer who hired the challenger to pull a double stack train of his first shipment might request the big boy to haul his train again. I'm sure the UP has plans to haul freight with her. The UP has already gotten more advertising value than they ever could have dreamed.

[@reddog-ex4dx]

I remember as a kid going to the LA County Fair and playing on 4014 I remember asking my mom if it would ever run again and she said no. I climbed (with help) into the cab and looking at all the knobs and wondering what each one was for (they where all welded so young kids like me couldn't play with them. I didn't like that.) But, I hoped it would run again some day. Some 15 years ago my wife and I went to the fair and we got to see Big Boy. A little worse for wear, but still just as massive. I still had that dream of seeing him run again. Then, when UP bargained for him, I knew Big Boy would ride again. Then, I just wanted to live long enough to see it! HA! Some dreams do come true. Thanks guys for all the updates you've provided over the years. I can't wait to see what you show us on May 9. See you then!

Actually they did have some issues on Thursday. Steam was leaking from the piston cylinder. So they didnt make it to Grassley.

[@indridcold8433]

How long does it take a Big Boy to be ready to run from a cold locomotive?

[@ToyManTelevision]

About 12 hours. They carry an auxiliary boiler in one of the cars and the little boiler can provide steam right away to force a draft in the firebox. But it still takes that long to heat all that water to boiling.

[@RailPreserver2K]

Do they plan on salvaging that Machinery so that it can be used in the steam shop in Cheyenne because that equipment could be very valuable for the steam program

Ed told me he just ran out of time. Not the piston packing at all. Still running with the leek. No problem really. It just got to late as they were keeping it to under 30 and usually less. And the plan was to run backwards all along. Hard in the best of times to wye a centipede. So they intended to pull the big boy backwards to help the break in. Good to but reverse load on it as you break in. So when they were at risk of going off the clock they just stuck it in reverse.

Since she and Big Boy share many parts, those are already made and waiting. I'm thinking, two years from now (my timeline) we should see the three sisters out and about systemwide.
