- The return trip of Big Boy 4014 and 844 through Echo Canyon on May 12th. We paced them again, this time on Echo Canyon road. This turned out to be a bad decision as 50 other cars were trying to do the same thing, creating a dangerous situation. We still got some decent shots, but I wouldn't try it again.
If you enjoyed this video you might like some of my other footage of the Big Boy's return to steam:

Brilliant camera work bravo! What magnificent trains!!!! God bless America
I like how the cars on the freeway in the distance in 9:30 going the same direction as the train are all trying to keep pace with the locomotives.
I imagine for some of those drivers who didn't know too much about the Big Boy, or weren't big railfans in general, seeing two big steam locomotives in action together as they were driving down the freeway must have been a big surprise, and a very unique, and memorable experience.
The 844 is just along for the ride, the Big Boy 4014 is doing all the work pulling both the 844 and the double size diesel 2650 which is also part of the Union Pacific museum collection. I have read the 2650 does help brake in this configuration, and is also there as a backup in case of problems, but the 4014 can easily pull them all and more. Amazing to watch the 4014 beast in action. It's living breathing history.
No the 844 is under steam, watch the stack and the firebox, the diesels are along for the ride.
The 2650 is not a "Double size diesel" Its a regular production ET44AC. Your confusing it with the 6936 DDA40X
@@andrewarmstrong7310 I always wondered why all of that power was on the front for basically 12 cars. The Big Boy is capable of pulling that AND some. :-))
It can pull enormous loads. Only the SD90MAC and the DDA40X are diesels that have operated in North America that have higher horsepower ratings and its tractive effort is way up the list as well.
@@scythelord there's a few more than just those two, even when excluding everything except diesels.
As a machine head, I love these pacing shots. Both are beautiful beasts. UNP couldn't buy better advertisement for their brand. Hope it continues.
It was a great sight to see both the UP 4014 and 844 operating on the same excursion train together.
Without question, the finest, most SUPERB filming of Big Boy #4014 to date, railfaning at its very best indeed! This is Hollywood level filming and it's brilliant! THANK YOU for this 20 out of 10 production, I'm subscribing right NOW! BRAVO!!
Thanks, always nice to hear when people like my work.
Mechanical elegance at it's finest! 💯
What an amazingly powerful fellow! Big boy sure lives up to his name
This is great! It's pretty clear from this shot that 4014 was doing most of the work climbing the grade towards Wasatch. You don't really hear 844's stack at all.
My dad worked for union Pacific for a long time and I only wish he were still alive to be able to see this beautiful locomotive in action can't wait to see the big boy here in Abilene Kansas
Listening/watching 4014 at full chug is simply amazing. What a fantastic feat of design and engineering.
Love to see those two pulling together, what a show they put on!!
So blessed to get to see her run before I leave this world! Great Video, thank you.
Fantastic footage! You can see the extreme difference in wheel diameters between 4014 having 68" drivers against 844's 80" drivers. Well done and thanks for sharing this gem.
Its due to the work the two locomotives were supposed to do back in the day: 844, despite being capable of hauling freight, is primarily a passenger locomotive, whereas 4014 was a freight locomotive from the start, thus the difference in the size of the driving wheels.
That is one beautiful piece of machinery! A real work of art!
Another masterfully shot video. 4K is just magnificent.
Got to See Big Boy today in Junction city Kansas...its a beautiful Beast....OUTSTANDING ...THANKS UNION PACIFIC 🖐🏽🖐🏽🖐🏽🖐🏽🖐🏽🖐🏽🖐🏽🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🎈🎈🎈🎈🎈👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
Great video!
A lot of work went into planning, shooting and assembling this... It was almost like being there, Thank you!
This is some outstanding footage. Even though I was there, it kind of dawned on me watching this just now that I still don't really believe it happened. Surreal.
Agreed, this was the first mainline steam excursion I experienced and to have that be the largest steam locomotive in the world (and a double header no less) was mind-blowing.
@@NorfKhazad I always wanted to see doubleheaded steam, but once you've seen a UP 4000 and an 800 together; in a way it kind of leaves you nowhere to go.
That being said, I sure wouldn't turn down the chance to see basically any other combination of doubleheaded steam locomotives. lol
Let’s not neglect 844. Beautiful engine. #844 is the only Lionel engine I don’t have. I need it to go along with 4014 and 3985
Two of the most iconic engines together.
The clarity of this video is amazing. Excellent audio too.
The steam crew at UP can be proud of the excellent job they have achieved is a short space of time
This video is beyond amazing..to see and hear those wonderful locos..moved me to tears
.thank u so much
Great video showing both sides, I'm making a model of this
Hi CraftyFoxe I love your builds!
This is an outstanding recording. Thank you for sharing it with us.
Beautiful shots! I love the different views and ability to hear the power coming from those pistons. I have a love for steam engines more than any ever. Great video, Thanks for sharing!
Nashville's 576 went to the shed this winter after 50+ years sitting in Centennial Park. We're hoping it'll make a comeback soon. In the meantime, UP 4014 and 844 are providing a wealth of footage. And that whistle. That whistle.
I live in Lebanon, which is just east of Nashville. I always see the two Music City Star locos make their ways back and forth between Nashville and Lebanon. When I heard that they were restoring 576, I was super excited. I'm too young to have ever seen her in her prime, but have always wanted to see a steamer be used in Nashville. My hope is that once they finish restoring 576, I would be able to see her being used to pull the Star through Lebanon! It would be amazing to see her thundering through the historic square!
Well, for ME, this is a runaway BEST chase choo-choo video out there. My daughter is a film director and we were both admiring the shoot quality and ability of the watcher to be "involved." Absolutely awesome. A keeper!! Thanks for braving the dangers.
Thanks, you should check out my other two chase videos as well. The Westbound trip through Webber canyon was particularly great, even got some snow.
I would love to see Union Pacific put 4014 to work pulling some freight from time to time that would be badass.
I agree, they did this back in the early 90s with the 3985. Would love to see that with the big boy.
I agree
Yes and more the twin UP CHALLENGER
Thank you, amazing recording, a real treat to watch and listen.
From Italy I thank you for this fantastic video, clear,sound perfect. Thanks Thanks!!!!!!!!
Superb!
I sometimes consider UP too political, but restoring and operating big steam like this is just beyond fantastic!
I waiting to see it in revenue service pulling a mile and a half long train.
@Andrew Armstrong just wait for that big-time traffic surge and you might get your wish!
I think the whistle says I'm out of the grave and ready to rock....Thank you Cheyenne Steam. shop You know how to rock.....
Never was in the grave, just asleep. :)
Absolutely wonderful! Great capture and most enjoyable to watch on the big TV with the sound turned up. I hope you will film the trip of the Big Boy 4014 when it goes east.
Sadly no, I can't swing the cost of another trip like this any time soon. I will get out to film the Big Boy again at some point however. Particularly if they ever run it with 3985.
NorfKhazad Maybe you should set up a Go Fund Me account. A lot of people follow these videos.
@@tomdonelson385 perhaps, I'm not sure there are enough people interested for it to make sense.
Outstanding! Love watching steam locomotives 👍🙏
Beautiful shots. Man, 844 is frickin' huge!
Yeah I knew the Big Boy was huge, but I was surprised by how large 844 was, particularly its drivers.
Yes
Great video, magnificent machines. Just Magic!
Great work as always my friend!
Piece of railroading history right there! 🚂🛤
THAT WHISTLE
THAT BEAUTIFUL WHISTLE
LOUD STEAM EXHAUST
MAKING DIESELS LOOK SMALL
In this case......
BIGGER IS BETTER IN BIG BOY!
Steam whistle lonely and comforting. Heard miles away.
Now THAT'S American (American Locomotive Company [ALCO]), and they signify the AMERICAN can do - will do spirit.
Thanks to the Steam Crew and the Union Pacific Railroad - America IS great !
Nice profile pic!
WOW- BIG BOY and a 4-8-4 Booster engine.. LOVE this video- great job.. just had eye surgery , but I think I'm correct... 4-8-8-4 and 4-8-4 booster engine..that's a LOT of steam power..
More steam trains need to be put back into service for short and cross country travel. If I had my way, all working steam trains would be. I would also have all of the forgotten, abandoned steam, EMD diesels and other rare trains found, restored and put back into service. More people today need to experience what it was like to travel back in the hey day of steam and early diesel trains.
4014! What an Icon! Now that is a very good reason to visit USA from the UK!!!!!
UP 844 is the longest operating steam locomotive on any American railroad, it was put in storage in 1959 and removed from storage in 1961 for the UP heritage fleet. It has never been retired from service. All the big boys were retired.
Very true. 844 is an impressive machine in its own right. If anything seeing it alongside the Big Boy just emphasizes how large it really is, particularly its drivers.
Wow, great video. They sure knew how to make machines back then. Now all we have are electric motors and diesel powered generators.
What a great Beauty of Engineering !
Wonderful video. Thanks. 🚂
The Big Boy has an interesting cyclic sound, sort of a combined snort and whoop. I suspect it's a resonance in the long pipes bringing exhaust steam from the aft engine to the smokebox.
2 legends together... awesome!
EXCELLENT EXCELLENT NorfKhazad you have earned one more subscriber. Greetings from Argentina!!!!!
This is great! Thanks for posting
TRULY SPECTACULAR
LOOKS GOOD. I USE TO BE A BOILER OPERATOR.
Me, talking about the Big Boy:
I am in AWE at the size of this lad
Actually the biggest part of that engine will be the boiler. The boiler need to produce more than enough steam power to move the train.
Seriously, this lad is an Absolute
*U N I T*
1941: Big Boy
2019: Big Boi
Nope still BIG BOY
They ought to do a freight run with Big Boy, and relive the good old days!
There was when it went east...it had 22 loaded grain hoppers. I doubt we will see a train like the APL one with 3985 in 1991.
Nontrain enthusiast: Big Boy is to dangerous and too costly to operate.
Union Pacific: hOlD mY bEer!
dangerous and costly? I can't see how a big boy would be more dangerous or costly to operate than a challenger, which UP had been running for decades
@@MasterViseOMG Well, i don't want to start an arguement, but yeah the were costly to operate. You need to know how much Union Pacific invested in this hulk and how much it'll cost to repair and send it on excursions! Probably 10's of millions of dollars.Yes, it can be dangerous to. Look at what happened to the 4005, and theres a fair chance that could happen to the 4014, too! But i only said that for a meme.
(Use Code Lazar in the Fortnite item shop)
Negative comments are obviously from people that have very little (if any) knowledge of railroading; period.
I agree Joel.
Everything costs something - to build, maintain and repair if it breaks. The pay off is our enjoyment of it which is HUGE.
Sorry Juanita, I think you're out-voted.
Dennis
Amazing pieces of engineering.
Totally awesome!
Well done camera work mate , thanks for sharing
Thanks!
The king of the rails is back baby!!!!!!
What an exciting sight❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
What Dreams may Come
The engineers don't wave from the trains anymore, not like they did back in 1954
Awesome video...jealous...want to see her so bad! What a beauty!
I appreciate this video
8:42 imagine right here, they slam her into full service emergency. I would love to see the reaction it’d give
Well the wheels wouldn't lock up. That's only in thomas and friends, which is unrealistic. The braking would cause a squeaking noise and the engine would slowly stop
Wonderful steam train video. Joe
Gorgeous
WOULD IT BE NICE IF 4014 TEAM UP WITH 3985?BOTH OF THEM WILL BE GREAT DOUBLE HEADER.
Exactly! Plans are to get 3985 back on the line by 2020-2022!
Instead of the big boy pulling a train 5 Miles long alone, with the big boy and challenger together, they can pull a freight train almost 10 miles long. If that ever happens.
Gaston Forde that would be too much power
With how much pulling power 4014 has, 844 and the diesel are just along for the ride
no the 844 is under steam look at the stack and firebox.
I guess the diesel is there just for dynamic braking.
Good chase video, thanks for sharing.🚂😜🇺🇸
Great footage!!!!
Keep it up whoever did this.
I did, and I do plan to film the Big Boy again. Not this year, but maybe next year.
Superbe vidéo ! je pourrais installer une chaise et observé tout ces mouvements toute une après midi !
Guau!, chicos , es una real preciosura ,gracias.
I hope the Big Boy DVD I have on order is as good as this!
Funny enough, Pentrex bought some of this footage from me to use in their new DVD/Blu-ray of the Big Boy's first trip.
Hello sir i am from Indian railways 🇮🇳 your video is really nice
Give big boy 1000 box cars full of anvils, going up a steep hill, and he could still make it with all that load
This is beautiful footage with amazing quality. What type of camera and software are you using to capture images of this quality? Its definitely upgrade time for me.
I filmed this with a Panasonic GH5, and a Rode Stereo Videomic Pro for audio. I edited it with Adobe Premiere Pro.
4014 looks so perfect and natural, it's made for the rails.
Great video, well shot.
It's 20th July 2019 and so far 17 Thumbs Down? Oh well...it takes all types...
I v'e just noticed your avatar: Virginian Railway - Triplex 2-8-8-8-4, 2-8-8-2's, 2-10-10-2's, Split-Phase electric locos (EL-3A @ 7125 HP), 6-axle Hopper Cars.
Yeah for a little railroad the Virginian had some of the most incredible equipment. It's definitely my personal favorite. Pity almost none of it survives today.
I've since realised I forgot another one: 2-6-6-6
I've got models (1:87 HO)of the Triplex and the 2-6-6-6 and I would love to get one of the 2-10-10-2.
@@kiwitrainguy yeah I'm looking to pick up a 2-10-10-2 as well.
No disrespect to the great Beethoven intended, but this is Union Pacific's "Ode to Joy."
Gorgeous!
VERY cool!
I heard the big boy and 844 will both undergo an overhaul in 2023
I subscribed.Joe's train world videos 😃😃😃
Testing out my new 4k monitor on this video.
Like looking out a window. So beautiful.
6:10 where a Big Boy passes a stack train. Only UP baby!
If only they would pull a stack train with it like they did with 3985.
Great work!
Çok güzell bir görüntü.Ülkemde böyle taşımaçılık kominist işi olduğu için,çok da zengin olduğumuz dan 85'den itibaren yok edildi.
hey I just realized up has go her white bearings around the weels again u know the 844
Awesome video!!
I see Devil’s Slide 1:00+
Oops, Devil’s Slide is in Weber Canyon.
WHEN YA HEAR THE HORN, IT MEANS IN ARNOLDS WORDS , " IF YOU WANT TO LIVE GET OUT THE WAY "
That abandoned car at 4:24
I know right? That really surprised me when I saw it.
I didn't notice it, but then I was looking at 4014 (who wouldn't be?).
Now I look at it, it looks like it's from the 1930s or 40s. Is this in a desert region? The sand blowing around could be keeping the steel looking like new. - Dennis
The Big Boy class was the only steam locomotive in history that consumed its own weight in fuel oil in three hours. Even in its heyday it was horrendously fuel inefficient. That doomed it as WW2 unleashed diesel electric on the freight system.
Definitely not true. For one thing the Big Boys were originally coal burners. One was converted to burn oil in the 50's as an experiment but they couldn't get even heating over such a large firebox so they converted it back to coal. 4014's conversion to oil is for fire safety since they don't need to get maximum power out of the locomotive in excursion service. According to Ed Dickens 4014 burned about 20 gallons of oil a mile on the excursion trips. For certain that's a lot of oil and obviously the locomotive was barely working with such short trains, but I still think it would fall far short of burning its own weight in 3 hours.
Lubię oglądać stare parowozy
AWESOME video! I wonder if that diesel is for backup...I imagine they don't want to push it too hard since the Big Boy is rare?
Thanks, the diesel was there for backup and dynamic braking.
The diesel was there to provide electric power for the passenger cars, and to provide dynamic braking to provide a load for the big boy to pull against during the break in of the new parts.
@@brucejones2354 The diesel didn't provide power, it's a freight locomotive and not equipped for head end power generation. That's why they had the generator cars in the train.
Speaking as the 844... "C'mon, lets open her up!"
