Would love to see it in person but here in NJ. Tracks here definitely couldn't handle The Big Boy and even if by some miracle it could come here the crowds would be insane!
@@davidng2336 I agree the fact that Wabtec is rebuilding engines as earliest as the B40-8W makes me happy to hear that these engines are getting a new chance in life rebuilt to last longer
I'd sure like to know how he got from Wendover to Montello so fast! And I don't remember any tunnels between Wells & Elko! Other than these goofs, it was some nice videography.
@@CommercialsandMiscellaneous What you say is true. OK, I exaggerated, but the helper is also there to reduce wear and tear on Big Boy which is also a function of dynamic braking. No one is mass-producing steam locomotive parts, and each type of locomotive requires many unique parts. Brake-shoes for instance -those big drivers need custom made shoes. It's the same for any engine -the harder it's worked, the more maintenance is required, and when replacement of the bewildering array of fittings, seals, bearings, pumps etc. must be custom made the expense of maintenance can be prohibitive.

For those of us who can't be there in person, your video is the next best thing! TY
@@VintageVermilion thank you so much! I'm glad you enjoyed it!!!
Awesome video! I love the tunnel scene at 10:20!

Who loves Union Pacific Big Boy 4014?
Wish I could see it in person, but it's a long trip from Florida.

Wow a Rebuilt Dash 9 locomotive something that’s old-fashioned but rebuilt Wabtec is doing an outstanding job rebuilding these locomotives
It’s an AC4400CW.
@@davidng2336 I was close but not too close it’s a rebuilt AC44CW very cool
@@TexasRailfan21-RailfanRyan yeah any GE looks great

That scene reminds me of Sacramento Railfair 1999 with UP 844 and 3985 so as the fallen flag of CNW !!
Incredible footage

10:30 the clamshell smoke deflectors retract. I'd never seen them actually move before.
@@sharkheadism me too!
The Diesel's doing most of the work.
No it's not. It's just there to provide dynamic braking and to extend the 4014's fuel range. 4014 is more than capable of hauling the train behind it.

Why does it have a diesel helper? I thought that had been replaced.
@@davidbross6942 to help with breaking, they don't want to damage it.
What are the 3 cars AFTER the diesel for ? I always see them, they are clearly not cargo cars.
@LORFCASTER it's the machine shop, they bring their equipment with them to fix the big boy if it breaks something and to maintain it.
Nice video, Like
Thank you!
Awww the diesel is back!
