Union Pacific steam locomotive Big Boy No. 4014 Train stops in Mexia Texas

[@KyleMurph09]

Compared to modern day diesel engines, steamers have calming whistles

[@HTV-2_Hypersonic_Glide_Vehicle]

That's what happens when you change to horns.

I love the Big Boys whistle

[@ev0738]

back in the early 40s when diesels were first emerging, there were some companies that crafted "Air whistles" which were designed to mimic a steam whistle to combat the harsh sound of a horn.

[@ggtvfan3lol465]

I beg to differ my argument :the prr banshee whistle

[@ninth_dimention9852]

Best thing you ever did for you kid bro, a lifetime of memories for a little dude

[@craigcorson3036]

There are three sounds that I miss from my youth. Non-electronic police sirens, turboprop planes roaring overhead, and the whistle of a steam engine.

[@mikeeilbes3645]

I'll add a 4th. The sound of a Ford model A at idle

[@craigcorson3036]

@@mikeeilbes3645 Before my time, but sure! I could add a fifth that just occurred to me - the sound of my mother tapping her wedding ring on my bedroom window to call me in from outside.

[@graysonlake6861]

The sound of a turboprop is crazy, humans truly are spectacular

[@natas3.14]

The 50s? I mean when you were a youngun? Im only 44, so only using deductive reasoning, & a touch of historical knowledge, but the 50s would have all three of those before the switch to diesel trains,in the 60s. But ...I'm asking not guessing

You dont have to be a train nerd or one of those folks....to enjoy the presence of this beautiful machine.

Cos they are alive... well almost, the breath and drink. the nearest thing man has made to a loving machine in my opinion

[@tinaflowers405]

The fact that UP could get Big Boy running is something a rail fan would never think would be possible but Union Pacific was able to get Big Boy running is a miracle

[@cr8114]

jhjghj

[@seeber563]

And it's an even bigger miracle that they successfully converted it to oil this time.

[@Texassince1836]

I never doubted that the railroad that Designed it could make it run again, it was always about the funding

[@keeganbanse8625]

I counted what it's called but there's like a crazy rail catching video of a steam engine by Union Pacific

[@SternLX]

@@seeber563 To be fair the 1st time they tried to use Oil on the Big Boys they didn't have the tech and engineering we have now. The firebox on 4014 is a work of art and completely bespoke for Oil burning.

[@baristeve1]

love how even on rails when that thing pulls up people still step back...

[@timothypowell5687]

That is literally an amazing sound. I love train horns, but there's something about that one. Beautiful piece of machinery right there no doubt about it

[@Livefromthrcreek]

Watching this train pass through my town and hearing the whistle was one of the coolest things I ever witnessed.. I felt like I hoped in a Time Machine for just a few minutes those big wheels in motion the eary sound of the horn whistling from a few miles down the track. I know, im a simple man

[@charleswallace2080]

Now this is a big steam engine and so beautiful to look at. All the engineering that went into this is amazing and with out computers to design it.

Rode behind the 4014 and 3985 double header back in the 90s in Sacramento to Portola up the Feather River Route. Awesome!
