UP 4014 Following a Dream - UP 4014 Siguiendo un Sueño

I flew 3400 Miles to Follow a Dream! Seeing the UP 4014 Big Boy was a Dream Come True for me. I was Happily Impressed with this Beautiful Steam Locomotive. This Short Video has very good footage that I will Cherish forever!
Volé 5400 Kilómetros para Seguir un Sueño! Ver la Big Boy 4014 de la Union Pacific fue un Sueño Hecho Realidad para mí. Esta Bella Locomotora de Vapor me Impresionó de la Mejor Manera. Este video corto tiene secuencias de video que voy a Apreciar Siempre!

I’ve been up close and personal with 4014, even getting to sit in its cab last year, and I’ve got to say, I’m glad you got the opportunity to see it in person. Cool footage.

Muchas Gracias. Definitivamente es una Máquina Increíble. Desde hace años tengo un par de modelos de Big Boys, y luego de ver la real, las aprecio mucho más!

I doubt Big Boy doesn't move by itself but it's pushed by diesel locomotive helper.I don't see any steam eject from the cylinders.

[@enriqueherrera1781]

It Normally moves without the help of the Diesel. However on steep grades the Helper may help, going down the helper always will help with the Dynamic Brakes. The helpe is always providing electricity for the cars and in some instances (like the one you refer to) the helpe will aid the Big Boy in starting gently with no steam obstructing the videos and photos of all the admirers, You have to remember that the Big Boy is a JEWEL that the Union Pacific has lended us to see in operation. The UP and ALL of US want it to last in operation a long long time, and that wouldn´t be possible if we stress it constantly, so the Engineers try not to force it nor do they try to show off what it could do.
