    We watched this with our guests tonight, through hors d'oeuvres and Thanksgiving dinner while visiting. It was the best thing to have on the TV and still have conversation. Thank you, Railfan Dan!

    Thank you for posting this video! I jumped to day 6 so that I could relive the moments where the locomotive had come through Granger and Jamrstown Wyoming, where I had the chance to see this magnificent living piece of history. I had seen your drone flying around, and your vehicle parked near the hwy overpass. I was up on tip of the overpass when the Big Boy had approached and stopped for other trains to pass at Granger. At the 3:15:28 mark, i was the one dressed in black kneeling at the guardrail catchinga video of the No. 4014 as it had passed under. I'll replay this video in its entirety when I have some downtime over the weekend.

      Oh that's very cool Robert I'm glad I caught you in frame! Glad you could easily jump to that day in the video to see what you wanted. I hoped sectioning this video out by each day would be useful to folks so I'm glad to hear this. I'm glad you enjoyed my friend!

  • @isabellame7326

    One of my favorite things about your videos is how well you maneuver the drone to catch all the scenery. 🎉

      I'm so glad to hear you say that! It's always #1 about the train in the frame but then depending on the scenery where the train may be in the frame. Making sure to show mountains, rivers, and more to the fullest extent. I also always try to keep at least a sliver of the sky in the frame as much as possible in the wide angle shots.

    Lol that's me and my friends at 2:17:16 . I chased Big Boy for a few days but Cutler was the top of my priority list for months, went with some experienced railfans who knew the area. I was tempted to use my DJI but opted to go for my mirrorless and on ground footage. Glad you got the air footage I was curious about.

      That's so cool I'm glad you found this video then! I took at look at yours from that spot and very glad you uploaded it. As I was looking at you and the others in real time there I knew it must have been a killer location to shoot from so it's great to see it! Thanks so much for the donation I really appreciate it! Very generous of you. 😊

    Thank you, Dan, for this fantastic video featuring Union Pacific's Big Boy #4014 on its Westbound Tour to California and covering parts of its return to Cheyenne, Wyoming through parts of Utah, Idaho and terminating in Green River, Wyoming. You took us through parts of the United States that most of us will never see in person. The Big Boy was majestic as it rolled through parts of the Great Basin, river canyons and mountainous areas. I enjoyed watching almost three and a half hours of Big Boy #4014. I appreciate the time that you and your dad spent driving and chasing Big Boy and the time that you spent producing this final video. (Posted on 28 November 2024 at 2142 CST,)
