- The dream to bring Big Boy 4014 back to life has finally come to fruition! And we are lucky enough to see this dream become reality! And a bonus, UP 844 is running with 4014!
An absolutely incredible consist of steam The 4014 and The 844 are. The SD70ACe ain't bad either, good motive power. Union Pacific really knows how to put on a show. A Big Boy is now back from the dead. A true living legend.
There are some lucky people... riding and viewing the train live! And a big thank you to Virtual Railfan for bringing it to us. Major props from this friend!
The opening seconds were interesting. Coming at you on the left was the UP of the past. Coming at you on the right was today's Intermodal train.
UP of the past will pull that Intermodal train at sometime in the near future
Imagine UP doing a train with 4014, 3985 and 6936 (in that order) as the motive power. That would probably make it the most powerful train in the world
borice sellers don’t for get about the 6900
I'm glad that Big boy 4014 is alive also with the 844 too. Thanks for setting up this camera at this location I appreciate it. I hope it comes back in the future.
It's so wonderful to have a Big Boy Locomotive running again! It's one of the greatest steam locos ever built. Weighing 500 tons and capable of 80 mph speeds, fantastic!
It's good to see a legend put back to work. Welcome back, Big Boy.
Best moment ive seen in the history of America's railroads. Even this Brit got to see it live on stream
He's getting his big welcome back to the rails.
4014 and 844 are amazing locomotives
Ikr
Yeah, I doubt Superman's more powerful than THAT locomotive!
That bigboy locomotive is magnificent. I really loved seeing it in person.
WOW, a Big Boy with fire in his belly, what a majestic sight, thanks to all of the volunteers and people who brought this icon back to life.
Thank you for bringing a major railroad 🛤 milestone to us. Well done.
the whistle just gives you goosebumps. 🤣
What a magnificent and beautiful train. One of my all time favorites. I would love to see it.
I’m curious about the weight limit of that walking bridge.
Oh Man, Imagine if it had collapsed? It could have wiped out half the population of Wyoming.
I was going to say same thing. It was at it's limit.
I agree it looks pretty flimsy to me, the ASCE should check it out
It almost appears to dip in the middle
What a fine capture! These two together! Thanks
844: doing great big guy
4014: thanks your not bad yourself
844: I wish 3985 were here with us
4014: Well, her tender is here with us since mine is still being converted to run oil, but yeah, I wish she was here too
MarioYoshi 4723 nerd lol
A triple header with big boy, 3985, and 844 would be a beautiful sight to see. All of that power might reverse the earths rotation tho.
MarioYoshi 4723 CSX and Northfolk Southern need to step it up and restore their Challengers
@@vulgar_potato4992 western maryland scenic railroad is finishing up #1309. Will be making its 1st run somewhere around the 4th of july. Im hoping i get to see that. But would probably have a heart attack if csx went and restored an allegany class locomotive.
I should watch it live on their cam. Thanks serh for the bereitstellung.Gruß from Germany
Good to see the legendary Duo of 4014 and 844 running again together
I am incredibly grateful that you went to the trouble and expense to install a special camera that would highlight and celebrate the arrival of such a magnificent steam engine! I live in Maryland and have enjoyed railroading with my entire life. When I was a child in Vermont, I witnessed Nickel Plate 765 and the American Freedom Train roll just feet past me. To see this amazing event yesterday brought great joy to me. I followed the UA-cam postings from Union Pacific as they refurbished nearly every part on 4014.
I unfortunately cannot afford a membership, so I am grateful for your generosity to make it free for all of us to partake and share in this wondrous event. I’ve enjoyed your videos when they have been free, and I’m appreciative of all the hard work you do for all of your cameras that I do get to see you from time to time, which is a great privilege.
Thank you again for all you do, and making it possible for people like myself to share, even thousands of miles away, in the arrival of 4014 amid the thousands who is there in person.
Do you ride the scenic railroad in Cumberland?
Duke Craig I did 30 years ago. It was a one time ride and it was fun. I rode it back in 1989.
@@SarahMDGal
I'm from Uniontown, although I have lived in Ohio the past 11 years, and always wanted to go down there and ride it, I'm in the process of moving to northern WV not too far from the Maryland border and riding that train is at the top of my to do list.
That other freight train was like . That's the big boy let's race it
Somebody wrote "Big Boy" in chalk on the front of the engine.
If that isn't attention to detail than I don't know what is.
Actually they painted it on lol
Is that an original detail they saw in an old picture?
Ryan Paaz the big boys were originally going to be called Wasatch locomotives but an unnamed crew member wrote “Big Boy” on the boiler like that. So it stands for how it got it’s name.
Dat-Mudkip where?
@@julkanizer No, it's chalk.
Union Pacific Railroad has the best steam program in the world.Made in the USA!
Look at all those people!!!!!!! My lord! Where is the schedule to where this is going to be I want to see it
Trains ‘N Sirens the schedule has been known since last year. You are acquainted with Google?
Thank you for sharing. Very nice of you
I am so glad I was able to witness this on your cam! Thank you virtual railfan!
Nice to see so many people out!
I love the Union Pacific 844 and the 4014 big boy
Great to see the Big Boy back in action!
Welcome back 4014
Glad to see such a good turnout of railfans!
🎶Born free...🎶
so nice to see big boy 4014 & 844
Awesome two incredible locomotives 👍👍👍👍👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻🇬🇧
12:05pm PST is when i saw the big boy on the camera, thanks for sharing your cameras to the public
Steve Lee former Union PACIFIC engineer on Last OF The Giants volume three OVER SHERMAN HILL doing a 3 minute recording EXPLAINING various reasons why a 4000 LOCOMOTIVE COULDN T be restored and saying it WOULDN T MAKE sense to invest in a LOCOMOTIVE YOU can only run in such a limited manner well HE WAS wrong too
Way to go Big Boy 4014 !!!!! Awesome job by steam team (SMILE0
Man I’m glad I was watching today
I'm impressed... The Steam Team really did pull this one off! Well done & congratulations to all those involved with bringing the Big Boy back to life!
I want to see it in person
It sure would be something.
Random Pineapple it is something! It’s huge in person! I saw it in Topeka Kansas
4014: YEAAAAH BABY. AFTER 60 or some years after not running. I RUN AGAIN! 844. Yep. Lucky for me I wasn’t retir- 4014: Blows whistle to tune 844 out.
Great catch of #4014 and #844 on their way to Ogden
It's great that a Big Boy is finally back on the high iron! Here's to a long and promising excursion career, and that we'll get to see her double heading with 3985 someday.
Wow this was a great location to see the big boy
Didn’t think there was that many people in Wyoming.
so lucky that i got to see this in person...i was on the bridge somewhere in the middle. also got to see it at harriman
Wonder if they reinforced that walk bridge over the tracks before hand, that's a lot of weight.
Graugger not sure if it’s the heat, but it looks like it’s actually bowed inward.
@@nolancain8792
Just like the bridge on an overhead crane, if it didn't flex it would break.
I'm not an engineer but I think things like that are designed to handle a full capacity load with a several times over safety factor.
Eu não esperava a hora de ver essa linda voltar aos trilhos muito bom o vídeo parabéns pelo trabalho!!!
I remember watching the live stream for this yesterday it was an amazing experience to watch
Greetings to 2019, 4014.
Im so glad i managed to cach it live ,i didn't think I would have been able to but luclily i got home just in time for the train to arrive
Wonderful!!! Thank you! xo Lisa
Just to let you know big boy will pass Laramie in a few days after the Golden spike anniversary
I had goosebumps the whole video! Wow wow wow
Thanks for posting this
How about the view of this for the crew of that westbound stack train! Hope they enjoyed it.
We love you Union Pacific!!!!, thank you for this beautiful moment as railfans in Railroad history, and another thanks to VRF team for putting a cam here. You guys are the BEST!!!!
Love it!!! What a beast, Greenpeace members all across the world are trembling at the thought of all the fuel that things burning.
At least it's better than coal. But how does it compare in efficiency to the SD70 lashed up in there?, the diesel engine is running.
Cargo ships burn fuel oil too.
@@seahorsecorral
I'm sure Greenpeace's official stance on something like this is that it should be put in a museum and never started up no matter what kind of fuel it's burning, I'm also sure they'll tell you that if it keeps running it'll destroy the atmosphere in 20 years, like AL Gore said was going to happen 20 years ago, yet I'm still here breathing just fine, no matter what you have in life there's always someone who wants to take it away from you.
Great job Union Pacific
*Long Live “The Living Legends”!*
If only this could go by la Plata that would be crazy
Look at all those people! Holy cow!
I would have given my left pinky to be a welder/machinist on this project.
The Iron dragon flys again
Now we should put the focus on 2716’s restoration and hopefully it comes back in July when they say it is
Intermodal driver picked a good shift, not often a Big Boy Pulls in the yard in front of you.
I was there!!!!!
This was really cool!
There is a train race when the big boy comes
What a site to see in person!!!
OMG the people sure did turn out. More then when the Per Marquette 1225 got back on the rails
I want to see big boy hauling 100 oil tanker cars than we know He's back.....
Free my boy UP 3985
Saludos !!!
Then he does a 100mph pass
Now all we need is 3985
Nice going
Hello!
Almost 2 million pounds of locomotive!
Did they convert 4014 to fuel oil? Looks like it.
Yes they did
I was 0:53 the blue cap guy
If you must run diesels for hotel services they should be at the rear. There's nothing worse than hearing the hissing and puffing of steam overpowered by the throbbing of a diesel loco, great as it is
Nice
After seeing 4014 operation going through Laramie it's amazing how many people has showed up, if Union Pacific headquarters would put faster cars behind 4014 they would probably sell a lot of tickets for rides across the country, that is only one question left will Union Pacific headquarters they start selling tickets for faster trains a 4014 pulling the load. and how soon then steam engine Union Pacific going to start pulling Freight cars across country with the operational steam engines that they got now? There is a lot of public interest in these steam engines as far as operation how soon is it going to take off in operation? it'd be nice to see Union Pacific headquarters answer this.
Yay
if only they would have a UP gas turbine run an excursion
that might be even more expensive
UP needs to find a triple track mainline and run the Big Boy, Challenger and DD40AX side by side.
omg...i don't think the rails can handle that many superstars rolling on them!
I've been very fortunate to be up in Cheyene and Laramie and Rawlins and get footage and pictures laying down in my hotel room in Rock Springs now excited for tomorrow.
Edit:omg I can actually see the roof of my car in the zoom in shot!
Shame 3985 couldn’t make it.
Well its tender is there.
lol, it's been 2 years, and I just notice my mistake
why is it that news about this is so backed up on how it is going i thought 844 was down with firebox problems as well
I was there and I yelled hello to you
I was with you and did the same!
Super Video. 🇮🇳
Great film footage. Thanks for posting this
I have to ask, is the diesel-electric just there as a backup for 4014 & 844, or is it also contributing to the workload?
It's primarily there to provide power for the passenger cars and dynamic braking for the train. Also, it's there just in case. .
You could hear a rhythmic clunking noise coming out of the 4014 as it came into the station that the 844 didn't have. Somethin's broken. Wonder if it can make the trip to Ogden.
That's because it's two different sets of pistons and drives...
will the cams come back when 4014 comes back through laramire on the way home
It cool
Remote controlled camera?
Fun view, but makes the locomotives appear less impressive than when looking up to them.
Sorry thathe enginestopped futher away.
