Gotta say I LOVE the audible enthusiasm people are showing for 4014! Wonder how many future railroaders were started on their path this day!

[@donr8773]

Greatest steam locomotive of all time. Thanks.

Neat, I just experienced the awesomeness of 4014 in Denver Colorado on Monday and Tuesday September 6-7 2021.

"If you restore it, they will come." -not a quote from Steve Lee

BigBoy has reached RockStar status.

It seems like the people forgot that they are standing on live railroad

Thanks for sharing! Good footage. I saw #4014 in West Chicago yesterday and wasn’t able to see the departure today. Again, thanks for sharing!!!

That's 1.2 million pounds of iron and steel folks!

Thanks for sharing a magnificent piece of machinery

So cool ! My mom and dad was there that day. From TN.

A moment to remember, the time’s of maximum stream at it’s peek! An almost unequaled accomplishment!

[@sparks1504]

Rochelle had the biggest turnout for 4014 without a doubt......

[@DaaYay]

Rockstar Status!!

Beautiful restoration; very impressive locomotive. Hope it shows up somewhere north, maybe Vermont or New York ? Just dreaming !

[@sdhaynie1962]

I was there! Great day. My only disappointment was that it didn't leave under it's own power. I was hoping for some of that classic steam action. Thanks for sharing the video.

[@robertwillett9204]

Gorgeous! No other word for it. Except magnificent.

[@davekauffman8727]

Legend of steam-power!

[@randallfawc7501]

AS great ambassadors as Ed and his crew are, it has to be frustrating to see people on the tracks and not heeding his repeated requests to stay back. Many dim bulbs standing IN the tracks. GEEZ

[@jwboilermaker]

Great footage from a different perspective than I had!

I was there and appear very briefly in this video. Loved Big Boy and the eastbound freight that preceded it. We made numerous new friends there.
