Thank You for uploading the video of my very favorite steam locomotives.... i still can't believe that Big Boy is back again, and hopely 3985 will join and triple headed with 4014 and 844!! Cheers from Indonesia
Probably take it back to the shop, work out anything else thats needed to be done or fixed, and then probably give it the same usage as 3985 has had. Speaking of which, 3985 should be beginning its overhaul soon, or whatever it is that has to be done
JYC Productions Power to the passenger cars, plus if something where to go wrong with the steam engines mechanically, then the entire train could be moved off the main line to be fixed
844 is providing most of the pulling power because of testing and they don't want to break 4014 because she still needs a little bit of work to get all the issues out before it does a regular excursion. However the diesel locomotive is only there like Mark said is because of Dynamic braking and to provide power to the passenger cars
If you could find the original cars she pulled back in the 30s and 40s when she was built if they haven't been scrapped then you could use just whats called a Brake van at the end of the train.
Well, that's how trains are normally run in America because they're extremely long, especially freight trains. But in 4014's case, it's still at the last steps at troubleshooting and finding possible issues it had at the inaugural run before it could serve at its full potential. Hopefully it'll pull those 100+ cars alone, and that takes 3 to 4 diesels to carry.
UP 4014 will never pull a train on the mainline without a diesel attached only because of dynamic braking and power to its passenger cars that is the only reason there is a diesel locomotive attached to any steam consist. Back in the day before diesels passenger cars were powered by steam produced from the locomotive. UP 844 is only there because their still testing 4014 and because they don't want to break her on her first big move in 60+ years

Hopefully a 844/3985/4014 tripleheader in the future is possible!!!!!
For the 1st time since 1961, The King of the Rails moves under his own power is Union Pacific Big Boy Locomotive 4014.
Shes pulling these cars at such ease
I wish to thank you for sharing this awesome railroad video with me .
Nicely done
Awesome shots James! Been really looking forward to your shots 😁
Magnificent locomotive. Amazing view. Thank you.
Great video. I think it's time we saw Big Boy pulling a couple thousand tons unassisted. I wanna hear that engine bark!!
Thank you very much for the video I really like these locomotive videos please upload
more thanks greetings from Puerto Rico ....👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻💪🏻💪🏻💪🏻🚂🚂🚂
Assistindo em 2020
Quem mais?
Lindo adoro ver videos sobre trens!
Principalmente Locomotivas!
some of the clip are race from Ogden back !!!, but still all good
Now that's American, American Locomotives Company (ALCO).
Well done!
My freand Richard frantz love your train
Finalmente a gigante acordou. Excelente video. Parabéns!
Terrific video!
Amazing echo through the canyon at 5:11.
Dios!, que cosa tan linda , me emociona ver una máquina tan hermosa y antigua trabajando , gracias.
That can pull a city down without a sweat.
Glads she's up and about
New York Railfan it’s great 😊
Nicely done, thanks for sharing.
Awesome
Very nice! Thumbs up 👍👍👍
It would be nice if 3985 will double heading with 4014 instead of 844.
San Pedro great time with reference
Cool! Cool like Godzilla!
Thank you for the nice video!
Good Times!
I can't wait to get the dvd! :D
Is this still working?
sukhdev Singh Hans what’s still working?
@@railroadvelocipedeproducti2020 the big boy i assume
@@prudenciomangaoangiii403 of course it is...but since covid 19 is here no
@@railroadvelocipedeproducti2020 i want to ride this thng so bad
For 1st test at available to meet.
So what are the future plans for Big Boy? Back into storage, used for freight, or just tour the countryside?
Probably take it back to the shop, work out anything else thats needed to be done or fixed, and then probably give it the same usage as 3985 has had.
Speaking of which, 3985 should be beginning its overhaul soon, or whatever it is that has to be done
Hope it will be out on DVD.
It says it will be sometime this year it's in the description

NICE VIDEO THANKS.
Super video 👍
Would you imagine in the not to distant future we see the sentinel diesel behind 4014 heading to where ever there heading too
Why do you need that much power for that consist?
Can you please identify the locations of your shots?
Why is there always a back up diesel locomotive?
Mainly for power to the cars
Vintage and Antique Automobiles or dynamic breaking?
@@Jleed989 Possible I'm not too educated on trains that's just the stuff I have heard :)
@@Kaputnik11 there is and generator car behind the diesel loco
JYC Productions Power to the passenger cars, plus if something where to go wrong with the steam engines mechanically, then the entire train could be moved off the main line to be fixed
👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
If you have the 844 in the drive train, why the heck do you need that damn diesel ?
I belive they use it for the generator, dynamic braking GPS, etc. Don't need it for power.
844 is providing most of the pulling power because of testing and they don't want to break 4014 because she still needs a little bit of work to get all the issues out before it does a regular excursion.

Why is there a Diesel locomotive linked up?
If big boy breaks down.
The diesel is for dynamic braking and power for the cars.
Awesome?
Why are 3 locomotives connected together?
Well, that's how trains are normally run in America because they're extremely long, especially freight trains.
But in 4014's case, it's still at the last steps at troubleshooting and finding possible issues it had at the inaugural run before it could serve at its full potential. Hopefully it'll pull those 100+ cars alone, and that takes 3 to 4 diesels to carry.
Is the second steam locomotive also newly refurbished and being tested?
@@tvbox6955 Yeah. I think 3985 is the other one.
@@ToddKeck98 up 844 is the other one
UP 4014 will never pull a train on the mainline without a diesel attached only because of dynamic braking and power to its passenger cars that is the only reason there is a diesel locomotive attached to any steam consist.

I find it funny that people call the "Big Boy" a "she". A *SHE??* This ain't a ship, people.
Bisexual train i guess
Ha funny that's my last name
