UP Big Boy

[@CRUZER1800]

I can remember as a small boy, traveling from Kansas to California, seeing these Big Boys doing their job pulling Very long trains.... What an impressive sight. I think that's what got me hooked on railway steam engines and steam engines in general. Great video and thanks for posting. Brought back some great old memories. Russ

That big beautiful beast came with in 200 miles of my home, and I missed it!!! I'm going to sit down and cry.

[@phillipbonner5215]

That engine is the most exciting amazing site anybody can behold

[@Gamerman8441]

1:06 i never thought I would live to see a steam locomotive get a police escort

[@ces4399]

Probably to prevent moron foamers from getting themselves killed trying to see the train up close.

[@jerredwayne8401]

Finally some stack talk and some smoke!

[@kidonkim4073]

I love very much big boy-!!! I’m a South Korean

[@johncook4156]

I seen it today in Provo Utah 2/3/19 on display going thru WOW what a grand piece of history!

[@winaryaniprimaningtyas925]

British train : we are strong America: *how cute*

[@euclideszoto997]

The Flying Scottsman is a beautiful steam locomotive though.

[@edithdavis2848]

Love the Big Boy 4014and i missed this trip. Stopped at Union Station in KC.MO. would have been a drive but could have caught him coming from the south.

[@euclideszoto997]

I can't get enough of these Big Boy videos! What an amazing steam locomotive!

[@gregbates703]

I love 4014 they did a beautiful job on Big Boy, sorry about my last comments I just listened to a lot of steam videos and something is missing in the sound when you hear big boy go by it's the chugging and one of the rods is clanking congrats to the U P still a great thing they're doing wish I could be there in person Trackside somewhere

[@dwkcamman611]

Great coverage, well done, I just wish I could have seen it with my Dad in West Chicago.

[@shadowraith1]

Thank you for sharing the Big Boy's # 4014 trip across the Midwest.👍🚂🚂🚂👍

[@trains9115]

This was so cool I was there at the Chicago station I went through.

[@lindsaymoore7232]

What a great video! I can watch this over and over again.

[@fabrizioviscardi40]

Very impressive video!

[@fabrizioviscardi40]

Thanks for sharing!

[@ClearTrackSpeed]

Looks like 4014 has her own secret service XD Thanks for sharing

[@ces4399]

Probably to prevent moron foamers from getting themselves killed trying to see the train up close.

[@BootsShamrock]

Such an awesome engine! Shame the other loco was in the train. Kinda spoilt the nostalgia. But thank you so much for posting this. My favourite engine of all time. Maybe one day I’ll get across the pond to see it. 😃

[@kissfanbilly]

Boots Shamrock I think it’s there only for if it breaks down.

[@BootsShamrock]

kissfanbilly probably but the fact remains the same

[@CraigLYoung]

Thank you for sharing!

[@raymondlortssr3516]

WOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@SimonTog]

Lovely video with Big Boy :)

[@benharleman587]

I was in Butler, WI chasing it to North Chicago!

[@kidonkim4073]

Look like so Great ‘Big Boy’

[@achmadsyifapapahnyareyhan8674]

Wish i was there.... Thank you for the video, i really enjoy it

[@LukeLovesTrains-Mr.RailYard]

Cool

[@sargentrowell81]

I'd still like to see them bring it further east some how. They did it with the 3985 back in the 90's, I don't see how they wouldn't try to with 4014 since it's a bigger deal.

[@trainsofwisconsin]

I saw it in Altoona

[@ad356]

the old gal has a set of lungs. that sound could wake the dead. i like it.

[@jerredwayne8401]

Hope it makes it down go Texas soon

[@ad356]

that diesel is just decoration..... along for the ride nothing more.... well it is there for dynamic braking but it is in no way needed for tractive effort LOL

[@Hehehehweoutthisbitch4512]

Who the hell disses a train

[@ShawnC.W-King]

When was this Tour? I missed this Beautiful Behemoth

[@bkriegel95]

It was just last month!

[@SkipW]

For UP steam info see www.up.com/heritage/steam/

[@NathanielKempson]

It clanks like a UK Midland engine

[@SternenruferinPatchouli1]

why do they need that diesel loco? BIG BOY should be strong enough to pull that train? or is it just for power supply?

[@ferky123]

It's for radios, power to the coaches and dynamic braking.

[@ricks9169]

What was the diesel loco for?

[@jaeFFCC]

In case of any failure/deficiency of the BigBoy; the diesel loco would support on the road ;)

[@dejulesb7063]

Why doesn’t steam come out of the whistle when it’s pulled?

[@TheSteamChannel]

The whistle is down behind the duel stack and can’t be seen in most of these shots

[@dejulesb7063]

Thanks

[@jamesshanks2614]

When it's hot out in the summer it's not unusual after the condensed Steam has been blown out when the whistle and related piping warms up for it to not be seen with Steam coming out of the whistle. Remember this is using superheated Steam which to begin with is dried Steam at a higher pressure ( 300 psi ) hence when blowing the whistle a lot it's not uncommon to see little or no Steam coming out of the whistle.

[@kidonkim4073]

👍so l want buy small steam locomotive big boy I don’t know company address-!!!

[@Guillotines_For_Globalists]

You can definitely hear that steam powered electric generator on the locomotive as it passes by at 14:12. It would have been great to see President Trump get involved with this project as part of the rebuilding of America's infrastructure and manufacturing sector! #MAGA!

[@KurtBenning]

Yeah Make America great again!! Trump 2020
