Gracias por compartir hermosos tren 🙏❤️✨

# 844 is absolutely magnificent !!! And the conventional motors that carry the massive amounts of tonnage as well. We need the railroads. ALL OF THEM.

Bad ass, Steam still lives.

[@gabyherrmann9894]

Long live Big Boy. So enormous, so powerful, so fantastic, so giant. I don't know so many words for this appearance or vision.

[@BennyCFD]

Can't be too powerful, it always has a diesel locomotive doing most of the work.

[@michaelcaplan7012]

Just think. They designed and built those wonderful locomotives without the use of computers

[@Curious_Skeptic]

Majestic beyond compare!!!❤

Union pacific doesn't make money from steam locomotives, but they keep history alive

[@jollyjohnthepirate3168]

That's true but it's one hell of a cool P.R. move by U.P.

N' oublions pas que le père des locomotives à vapeur est Denis Papin né à Chitenay ( France 🇫🇷) et mort à Londres 🇬🇧, il est connu pour ses travaux sur la machine à vapeur.

Every time I want to fall asleep, I watch trains. No need for sleeping pills.

13:31 an aha! moment for someone,
IF I turn the phone horizontally, I can fit more in!

[@popularhornet6245]

I have a Question.
Where the heck is Union Pacific 844?

[@coloradongguy]

In the steam shop

[@popularhornet6245]

For what reason?

[@Moltar_Railfan]

Popular Hornet62 because it was a big boy only excursion!

[@popularhornet6245]

Oh okay

[@timholmes7913]

ok, so why did they have a bunch of covered hoppers on the train????

[@thatpilotdylan2024]

they had those hopper cars for extra weight behind the 4014. The water tanks, diesel and service cars are not enought weight and also for additional breaking to stop.

[@adavazquez3378]

Where does the train is park when it is not rolling, to be safe from vandalism?

[@ggsumner1947]

UP has a full police force of its own, and I'm just guessing they would have someone watching the locomotives vitals full time while under steam.

[@mattk3385]

In the round house in Cheyenne

[@romeudasilvapereira2476]

Numa garagem é lógico 🤥👍

[@jefs2928]

Why have american trains these bells, is it just historical or what ?

[@thequietcab]

Trains have bells to alert people/animals in the near about a moving train.

[@corradoballerini2515]

Macchina imponente da un buon rendimento termico e meccanico ma da un inquinamento disastroso
