    This is a compilation of me chasing the 4014 and 844 doubleheader from Point of Rocks, WY to Cheyenne, WY. I had lots of fun filming it and I hope you enjoy viewing this as I did putting it together.

    Definitely your best video yet! Wonderful shots of 4014! Favorite shot is the bridge shot and the meet with 1995. You had quite the time down south there lol.

    Really nice video. I wish I could go back to the 40's and see the Alleghenys and other favorites with the AV equipment now available. I never thought we would see a Big Boy operating again. Thanks for sharing.

    The flag is fluttering against the direction forward. I am amazed! The train appears to be moving at least around 30-35 mph and could it be that the draft from the steam is fluttering the flag forwards???? 07 39

      It was most likely blowing at a 45 degree angle or so, it looks like that because the camera is zoomed in all the way.

    Locations? Where was each shot made? Would have added to the video if you had identified your locations. Other than that, you did a fine job. Thanks.

    I wonder if some of these railroad companies pay graffiti artists to decorate their boxcars. It may have started out as vandalism, but some of it is so elaborate and pretty that they've got to be paid.

    Does UP have so little confidence in its steam locomotives that a diesel locomotive always has to be there ??? 😢...Greets from Germany...

    • @LoowitRail
      @LoowitRail  5 років тому +1

      The diesel locomotive is to provide HEP (Head End Power) to the passenger cars, also they just restored 4014 so they were probably putting it there just to be safe.

    • @crocowithaglocko5876
      @crocowithaglocko5876 5 років тому +1

      Yeah. I’ve rode behind Nickel Plate Road 765 and it didn’t need the diesel for propulsion, mostly for head end power

    • @dwightdavis4441
      @dwightdavis4441 5 років тому +1

      I was in Ogden and spoke with one of the crew. That's a small part of it. 4014 was designed to pull very heavy loads. The diesel is put in a dynamic mode to provide resistance. It also helps save on the brakes going down grades. There's another video from May 12th showing the train leaving Echo. The wheel spin in the footage is most likely due to the resistance being applied.

    • @red2theelectricboogaloo961
      @red2theelectricboogaloo961 4 роки тому

      it might be if the big boy gets stuck there and then the diesel could drag it back if need be
