Union Pacific 4014 Big Boy in Cajon Pass October 2019

In October 2019, Union Pacific 4014 "Big Boy" led a special excursion over Cajon Pass for the RailGiants museum. The excursion was done in appreciation of the museum returning 4014 to the Union Pacific.
The first clip shows the excursion train climbing Cajon Pass on Saturday, October 12. The following clips show the return trip on Sunday, including a stop for the crew to perform main line servicing on 4014.

Big Boy is really flexing his muscles his train is a mile long and he has two diesels with him but Big Boy can pull this train all by himself after all he's Big Boy the worlds largest steam locomotive.

Awesome

Great vid but a little anticlimactic with 2 diesels backing it up.

They say that the 2 diesels are for providing power to the compartments. But then the engine is running on oil, not on coal that again defeats the purpose.
