The Big Boy is mechanical art in motion, as the Spitfire is flying art. I miss the Big Boy when it was at the RailGiants Museum in Pomona----but I know that she is better off now.
If it wasn't for Pomona taking care of Big Boy while it was there we might not have had a restoration. 4014 was in the best condition by far out of the other 7.
@@euclideszoto997 Pomona is far from the ocean and is a dry climate, that must have helped.....
Now that's a locomotive. I was a small boy in the 50's and I actually got to see the last of these still in service. 4014 is sure a beauty.
No mistaking the Big Boy 4014 just by it's whistle! What a beast! Thanks Deanna!
Great video! No matter how many videos or pix of the Big Boy I see, I never get tired. I don't know about other locomotives, but this one definitely does and knows that she is center of attention and enjoying the attention.
4014's 1941 made whistle does sound like 611 in her 1982 trips!
Wow, what a magnificent steam engine. It's really awesome no matter how many times you see it. So great! 😀
What a magnificent monster. She was in control of the rails. It's as if she knew it. I know it's a "Big Boy", but that is one heck of a steam sweetheart. Thanks, Deanna for the wonderful footage. Just a treat.
Big Boys and Deann is back!❤
Thanks for the Sunday with DeAnn moment.
excellent drone action!
Oh my thx DeAnn...and coffee in hand...GREAT footage....that would have been exciting to b on highway and cruise with it....thx again , hope you're bak next Sunday again....
😊 This was an absolute blast, ty.
Boa noite, um lindo trem espetacular. Gostei do vídeo.
Wait for WHISTLE!!!
Where did this channel go
Wonder where they turned it around at
😎
Do they still use coal, or did they find something more environmentally friendly?
It's been converted to an EV.
They're out there in Nebraska so they converted it to wind turbine
The previous two replies, as humorous as they are, aside, it is stated in an annotation in the video that the 4014 was converted to burn oil during its rebuild back to operation.
Why 4014 need diesel locomotives for help?
A couple of reasons, first, to aid in case of breakdown; second, the diesels are PTC equipped, Big Boy is not.
@@dmphillips 4014 was equipped with a form of PTC that was built to be run off of the PTC computers in the diesel, but from what I was told by someone in the Union Pacific Steam Club bookFace group, 4014 has now been equipped with a fully standalone PTC system, so technically, 4014 could go out on the high iron by itself and be completely compliant with modern safety regulations and systems, though I'm willing to bet we'll not see that unless someone in the higher echelons of Uncle Pete's decides to order it be done, or something similar to what happened to get 3985 on the head end of a 143 car double stack train in the 90's happens with 4014.
@justahillbilly7777 Thank you for the update, I was under some old info. That would be interesting, seeing Big Boy back in revenue service, but with today's "problems" parts wouldn't be easily accessible and very expensive.
First
Just a thought here: What ever happened to Made in America. Went to Home Depot for a new doorknob, they all were made in china.... Almost everything that is manufactured comes from china. Sorry for my rant, but really.....
Short and sweet answer: Unions!
