    Older camera gives this nice 90s/2000s feel.

    At 35:53 that is one hell of an awesome comparison of machinery! The might UP 4014 and the little Iowa Traction 51. Very cool shot, metalheadrailfan!

      Yet both the mighty 4014 and the 51 are fit for purpose. And that's Ok.

      And Iowa Traction 51 is older than UP 4014 by quite a few years. You can almost hear little 51 saying "Hey, youngster!" to 4014 as she rolls by. Amazing how things change yet they stay the same. Amazing history contained in one shot!

    At 11:37 you hear can a bad wheel bearing on engine 8167, so then they swap it out for engine 3025. Guess they heard it too. When 8167 is running backwards, alone, there is no bad bearing noise. After that it sounds like a bearing needs attention on one of the tenders, and at 20:57 it sounds like it could be the oil tender, perhaps the first auxiliary water tender.

    A lot fewer passenger cars after they changed out the diesel loco.
    Started out with five dome cars and now there is two after the change out.
    Kinda looks like they left them behind for a reason.
    I know coming into Minnesota some lines get tight up to the Union Depot and up to Duluth MN (where they really do not have a lot of room)
    They may be able to pick the cars back up on the return leg (just guessing here)
    From the minute mark of 1:30 and at 3:40 you see the difference in the car counts
    It is what it is for now.

    • @metalheadrailfan
      @metalheadrailfan  5 років тому +1

      In Boone after they dropped off passengers, they did some switching moves and removed a few of the domes for about and hour or so before parking it for the night.

    Very nice photography. DO try to follow the engine as it passes you on the next trip. After all, there is only 1 big boy. The UP cars have been in service for years. You recorded history. A first that can never be repeated. Perhaps this, and the work of other rail fans will encourage the restoration of the remaining fleet of Bog Boys and return them to productive service instead of fun and games for the elite.

    Around 6:17 you allowed the auto iris to shut the camera down therefor you ruined all shots in the shade. Sort of a shame to lose a chance to record history. 10:43 - that is a spectacular shot. It must have been cold that morning. By the way, did they lose several cars??? "They ain't never gonna be happy." Fine example of US education in the native language. Either that or the illiteracy of the general population. GOOD!!! They kicked the diesel out of the consist. (13:52). OOps!! Oh the indignity, being caught and hauled back by a Diesel. Oh, Woe, Oh such shame. Ahh, retribution. A lowlife diesel is made to wait while the mighty Big Boy charges by. (18:16) Since when do you need to be told that BB is coming. Can't you hear it? 20:50 - Don't like the sound of those clanking rods. Too much clearance. Where are the roller bearings? Hey - Metalfan - you just set the camera up and let it do the work. You don't bother to check the lens for rain drops like any good professional would do. Funny, they stopped to see an old electric trolley car. 37:17 - Low clouds, no visability. Why weren't you paying attention to your camera???
