You know a first-class locomotive like the Big Boy needs a first-class caboose at the rear of the train. There are dozens of UP cabooses that have been fully restored around the country, and I'm sure one of the owners would be happy to let UP use the caboose on excursions. Instead, we have a caboose tied on to the end of the train, that looks like it was setting in a Trailer Park, for the last 30 years, and they slapped a pair of trucks under and added it to the train

I understand the benefits to the train itself. But I love to see these old steamers pulling the train by themselves. It shows their true awesomeness and power. Big boy needs no help from no diesel.

Солидарна с вами😊

The diesel is not for “help” They just need to retro fit the first car it pulls with all of the appropriate electronics and compressors and what not. Then pull a bunch of era correct cars. Not passenger cars, high cubes or hoppers😊

At 7:05 in your video and a bit before. You caught a UAP checking out the BigBoY!! It make changes course at one point. So quick it’s not possible by an aircraft or helicopter.
