I was there Saturday. Forget baseball, apple pie and Chevrolet...it's now baseball, apple pie, and Big Boy. This is America at its finest! A truly magnificent machine! Don't miss it!
It was a pleasure being apart of history as well. Big Boy is truly magnificent machine to have seen.

We were there on Saturday and went out to see it pull up on Sunday morning....it was truly an amazing experience. We even got wet from the steam as it passed us by.
Does it come to Las Vegas Nevada by chance please? My dad and I were train fanatics. However I lost my dad in 2007 so it brings back those memories of him and I playing with his Inscale train board that he built himself. I would love to share it with my grand kid's one day.
You made things wonderful good useful make human life happy you science education original God bless you and protect you from strangers savagery I love 💘 it ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
That really only happens when they open the throttle up, namely going uphill. In this case it’s mostly downhill into Roseville, so it’s probably coasting for much of it. Heading back east on Sunday it’ll be going up Donner Pass, so there’ll likely be some steam then.

Most likely in the Roseville yard they let the diesel locomotive do the work, cuts down the noise and pollution where alot of people are gathered for the big party they had for the UP Employees.

I'm going to see this beast in RV tommorrow
Una belleza esa locomotora, saludos desde Mx.
My coworker got to see it. I sadly had to go to my grandma's funeral.😢
It be nice to ride on a train being pulled by that locmotive. It be cool for all the modern steam engines to even resemble Big Boy.
*Choo Choo!*
California Air Resources Board (CARB) is probably not pleased :P
CARB can suck it...🖕
There are thousands down in Roseville now viewing it

California won't let them put on a smoke show.
@@ryanwiese5280 There was plenty of steam as it left the yard Sunday morning. That was a sight to see.
Hell yeah

Bring Back Steam Power! Expensive electric no good.

The UP 4014 "Big Boy" is a steam locomotive, not a train as described. Get your newspoeple up to speed.
Maybe The White House can use it to take Biden to his next “Big Boy” event…
