- Union Pacific Steam Locomotive Big Boy 4014 and UP Steam Train Living Legend No. 844 heading down Echo Canyon, Utah. Also Morgan Utah. Both locomotives will double-head to Ogden Utah. Then back to Cheyenne, Wyoming. May 08 2019
The horses running full speed with it was EPIC !!!
Hope you can get a picture of that. I want a copy. 👍
9:14
Aired down and disconnected Someone should make a painting out of that!
What an honor to be chosen to crew that train.
Big Boy out Struttin !!! Great to finally see her doing what she is suppose to do, ride the rails. Thanks UP, GREAT job restoring this beauty.
So many great videos, so many great sights and sounds. As member of the end of steam era, I find myself going back to the early 1950's and seeing all the big engines running by, near my home, in Cleveland, Ohio. I got to see a whole bunch of Northern class, "NYC Niagara's", sometimes triple heading trains. Even so, the rebirth of 4014 is superb. The folks at The union Pacific have shown just how much they love their steam engines. I look forward to the Challenger being back in service. I must say that I am a bit envious of Ed Dickens sitting at the throttle of 4014, and I'll just bet that everyone who have followed 4014 to Ogden are the same. I grew up dreaming of driving a steam locomotive but they were mostly long gone before I ever could have done so. Every time I hear 4014 and 844's whistle I get this strange sensation in my heart. How about you? God bless the folks at the UP steam program.
9:17 iron horses alongside real horses, that made my day.
You see that! Great video, but that was the best shot.
Loved the horses running along side at 9:15. At first I thought they were scared, but once I noticed that the scary train went past, I think they were actually racing the train. Nice catch.
I can not get to the Thumbs up button fast enough! Love the old steam trains. My dad was in WW2 and went across the U.S. when his ship (USS Louisville) was at Mare Island for repairs after kamikaze damage in Jan. 1945 and said it was a sight when the train approached a curve and you could see the steam engine driving wheels and piston rods working. Thanks for sharing.
Wow, was that thrilling! Great camera work and driving. Oh, that wonderful whistle and stream of steam clouds was so great to hear and watch. Thank you so much for this video. FANTASTIC.
Nice video!! The horsies @ 9:15 thought "this is it !!!" and ran for their lives.
That train was clipping right along!!!
A great video.
From all of us who couldn't be there, THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU.
Amazing!
BIG BOY in his element he was built for this pass Echo Pass will always be his domain. Next Stop The Yards of North Ogden his historic home terminal.
Felt like I was riding along with you on this glorious ride, thank you so much for a fabulous video. Almost brings tears to my eyes watching the beauty of 4014 and 844 steaming down the rails. The views of the canyon were wonderful, and the horses running alongside definitely was epic as someone else said. Noticed at least several helicopters flying overhead also.
With so many vehicles (and pedestrians) stationary on the driving lanes, it is little short of miraculous that an accident didn't happen. The Gods of the High Iron must have been working overtime!
Fantastic steam disply, Well shot by the camera person.
Nice job of Pacing 4014 and 844 the rain is just what it is thank you for the video
Excellent footage bro.
I loved the horses! Great shot!
One of the best videos so far.
Beautifull american steam!
Great video. What a piece of American history. Wish I was at Promentory Point this weekend
for the 150th anniversary of the meeting of the Union and Pacific rail tracks.
Even the horses are like whoa!
American flag on the 4014. This puppy dog was not made in China.
Awesome video bro!! John and I loved it!
I loved the ending part of the video 😍
Yes very cool
is just driftingin this shot, 4014 is doing all the work.
2 cool
LOL, yes those horses at 9:14 were runnin for their lives! Here are their thoughts: "Run for your life Sara, a huge monster from Hades is coming for us at mach 3!"
NAH! They were thinking "This guy wants a race? THAT'S WHAT WE DO!!!"
I also watched the video of the guy right behind you, lol
She sounds unique with her rods clacking.
Looks like they are starting to open the throttles a little bit more!
This is living history, not static museum pieces. Thgis is how it should be.
Sorry about the misspelling. I need to stop typing with my forehead.
Словно как самолёт летит
The twins are clippin' right along aren't they! 50, 55 mph?
Downer tiny train love to see then stick it on a 100 car freight.
how about 300 instead, just like 4014 was built for?
what's the name of it .. dead believed live longer .. and here is one of the proudest evidence. And that makes me really happy. Drive big boy drive oh yeah ...
Great video, but that sure was an annoying drop of rainwater on the lens.
Those roads are so bad holy moly
How where you able to keep up it there was a lot of traffic at lest up in echo just curious
How fast were those ladies running?
How fast were you going?
Them
Why is it called echo canyon?
"This was one of the last canyons the immigrants descended through before entering the Salt Lake Valley. Its high rock walls and narrow profile made it a veritable-and frequently noted-echo chamber." [https:]//history.lds.org/article/trek/echo-canyon?lang=eng
Because "Grand" was already taken.
because if you make a noise in here it will be amplified 1,000 times almost as loud as a rocket launch. Snow crews and the railroad have to keep it clear each winter because the same amplified sound of the locomotives and vehicles going through it also cause avalanches. If there is one storied mountain pass where the Pioneers came through and Big Boy roamed this would be it Echo is as legendary as Big Boy this is his domain and is the reason why he was built. Echo is the steepest mountain pass in the world 2% railroad 10% vehicle helpers had to be used until Big Boy, #3985, and #844 came along because of the steep grades all trains run on the left hand track until they reach Curvo and return to their natural grade to cross the Wyoming border at Wasatch 6,000 feet at the top of the Wasatch Range. Evanston is at the top Ogden is at the bottom and while it goes through here the tracks raise 3,000 feet in elevation there are 8 tunnels here and it is home to sights such as Devils Slide, The Tree, and the Sandstone Cliffs.
