I'm a 63-year-old man. For some reason, I get emotional when I see Big Boy. You did a great job with this video. And it was really nice hearing your excitement.
Great video!! I got a quick video of it in Big Sandy for my channel. It was amazing to be that close to it when it came roaring by!! Thanks for sharing.
@@stephencooper1003 are you talking about us? Heck we’re usually together when we catch trains lol. But hey we’re lucky to have each other for sure. We love catching trains together for sure lol. 😁😁
@@HSCRailfan.1980 same here we’re glad we got to meet yall and can’t wait to see yall soon for sure. Thank you so much I know y’all’s videos are awesome too! Definitely glad it stopped in McNeil at least. 😂😁
Thanks so much for posting this video. It brings back lots of great memories. Kingsland is my home town tho I haven't lived there since graduating from college. My brother and some nephews live there. I currently live in the Denver Colorado area and have seen the Big Boy that is in the Forney Museum in Denver(that was several years ago. I assume it is still there). The church in the background of one of the shots is the Kingsland Missionary Baptist Church which I attended while growing up, tho it did not look like that back then. The view that shows the highway 98 crossing is across the street from where a liquor store used to be that was owned by the grandmother and uncle/aunt of my wife to be. The last stop of the Big Boy on its return to it's headquarters in Cheyenne, Wyoming is in the Denver area. I hope to see it here.
My great uncle Karl Schmidt was an Engineer for the ICRR...He had a safety man riding with him in 1916 and the safety man threw a red switch on him somehow...Uncle Karl locked the brakes and bailed out at 60 miles per hour and hit the snow....you see the red switch meant another train was coming head on...Karl survived and got the coal shovel and chased the safety man for 2 miles and was going to kill him. At one point chasing him the conductor was there and had a pistol, Karl yelled: Shot him, he's a train wrecker....It's a true story and was written up in THE RAILROAD EVANGLIST, and I still have a copy of it in the house somewhere. I did not know about 4014 or I would have driven to Kingsland to see this. It's only 1.5 hours away from me. Karl retired after working for 53 years the ICRR and got his Golden Passport I believe it was called meaning he could ride free the rest of his life...he retired in 1960 and was chasing widows in his 80's at the senior citizens center. They called him THE FLYING DUTCHMAN during his working years and was never late...
Oh wow that text here was supposed to say that this was as far as we could get to Texarkana because they won’t allow public access to the rail yard. I guess that text got deleted which idk why but eh it is what it is 😂

Nice! Caught it coming into Texarkana and chased it to Dallas the next day.
Eastbound and down, loaded up and chuffin!
@@f4fwildcat29 love that lol now I got the song stuck in my head 😂😂
@@SouthernArkansasTrains a good song too! That’s what my friends and I were singing all the way across Nebraska, Iowa, and Illinois chasing 4014
@@f4fwildcat29 lol ironically my fiancé Jared was doing the same thing that day 🤣🤣
Bet that was pretty cool to see something like that
"Look at that purty thang."
The up4015 diesel locomotive is used for dynamic breaks which up4014 doesn’t have.
Pretty much what we got told out of it that day, which it’s interesting.
Great catches awesome chase and nice video
Brings tears too yours eyes of good ole days once was
America today is nothing like the America years ago!
Kingsland, where my Dad was born. I have vi sited many times. My great grandmother's house was right across from the railroad tracks.
