Good old horse 🐎 Power ! Go Go 4014 Big boy !

Here is 4014 doing what she was designed to do and pulling her own train awesome

Move on I am coming thru

The American version of Super Rescue

Very awesome find!😍😍💖💖🤗🤗🤝🤝

4014..."hold my beer" i got this

4014 was designed and built to haul heavy freight trains over the Rockies. It's really amazing that this locomotive can shove an 11,000 ton train, pull its own and still have plenty of power to spare. it's an amazing sight to see.

A historically locomotive still putting in an honest day's work and has great work ethics to boot.

True power of steam locos boys!

A lot of people think steam is outdated what they don't understand is steam is really not outdated at all not even close a lot of people don't understand that we use steam on a daily basis just for electrical power for starters if I had my own option driving a semi truck powered by steam I would All this talk about at home running solar and all that only works realistically if you're out in the south west of the United States where there's desert a lot of sun things like that or even down in the general south as soon as you start going up the sun goes away frankly might be better off running a gas turbine at home or diesel engine for power generation or hell a steam boiler that uses diesel fuel to heat it and have your own turbine going just saying If you were to use something like a torpedo heater maybe even on the smaller scale like 60,000 BTUs you could literally burn only a half a gallon per hour to heat that water The other thing is besides using it for steam the stuff after you could actually take the heat out of that and put it into a tank to heat water up so you still can take hot showers you got to get rid of the heat out of the steam anyhow and condense it back to water regardless just a thought

About time she does some real work

Dragged its own tonnage too. I honestly believe the engineers that built her don’t truly know her strength cap. Definitely far stronger than what’s on paper

I think I can! I think I can! I think I can! I think I can! I think I can!

Darn straight big boy is awesome

I wouldn’t be mad if this was why I was late to work

Nothing can beat steam, especially big boys

Steam Locomotives, when it comes to it, can Totally match, or even surpass the Power of Diesel locomotives. This is real Life SuperRescue.

Barely braking into a sweat it’s a beast!

no vehicle can beat the sound of raw steam power pounding the rails

Love to steam very much such as 3575 or5735 Fe steam engine

Beautiful train

I think some people forget, that back in "the day" trains were shorter/lower overall tonnage. But, the trucks mostly were friction bearing trucks vs modern roller bearing that roll easier, especially in colder weather. Modern freight trains vs what 4014 pulled in her revenue days is apples to oranges. Still was great to see, especially once she found her footing and dug in hard. I would have loved to heard the stack bark in person. Pushing or pulling tonnage stalled on the grade is hard work, you have no momentum to help, your started from dead stopped. Any curvature adds to the load. Impressive no matter what. Hopefully sometime UP lets 4014 pull some revenue freight like 3985 did with the APL Stacker.

My Grandpa worked for the railroad. He used to say that you could tell how far a train car went into Mexico. The fancier the graffiti, the further it went into Mexico

So I guess the diesel locomotive @3:50 had nothing to do with the movement of the train?

That diesel is probably helping quite a bit.

I used to visit her in Pomona as a static display and watched her get pulled up Cajon Pass to get the refit in Cheyenne. So satisfying to see 4014 working on the rails.

Big Boy was barely breathing while pushing 11,000 tons up the hill.

Reporting marks of the now famous last boxcar.....

Wow she is gleaming!

I'd really love to believe this isn't just a PR stunt. They did the same thing with 844 in the 90s. I used to have the history channel video where it was mentioned.

the fact i was getting gas at the time this happened is making me mad. this would of been cooler

빅보이는 제임스와트가 꿈꾼 이상을 가장 강력히 우리눈으로 보게 하는 마력을 갖고 있는것 같다. 현재 우리가 알고 있는 힘센놈들은 하나같이 물을 끓여서 움직인다는 공통점을 가지고 있다 핵추진 잠수함과 항공모함 핵 발전소 등..

Big Boy has always outperformed it's Offical Numbers i do wonder how it's Performance improved since the Conversion to Oil. My thoughts were based on the poor Quality of Coal U.P. used. Can everyone say 7,000+hp !😊

I'd bet she had power to spare! They almost never Stalled. Hauled more tonage than designed too!

This is how it's done

When push comes to shove! Attaboy Big Brother!

So beautiful

In the late 1960s and early 70s, me and my cousins had the privilege of being able to play on the 4004, at Holiday Park in Cheyenne Wyoming as kids. Now it's fenced in.😢 It never gets old watching the 4014 running.❤😊

Manifest locomotives: thank you my king. 4014: don’t even mention it. Even though I’m 82 I still have my strength.

Is the modern engine there for brakes to function properly since they obviously don’t work on steam these days

❤❤❤❤❤❤😊😊😊😊😊

GREAT VIDEO

I don't get it. It's fantastic ! But how did a refurbished steam loco, while having 7-9 UP passenger cars in tow, get assigned to shove real freight revenue up a grade ?? Would this deem her official working motive power of the Union Pacific Railroad; an articulated steam engine back in the UP locomotive roster ?? IE. Is steam returning to the main line !!!?

This proves that Union Pacific did not create a paper tiger when they restored. the 4014

4014: LEEROY JENKINS!!!!!!

Old school is good school

11,000 tons? I think you are off a few thousand.

How many diesels at the front of that consist?

Just face the music once again a diesel and it's crew are embarrassed again by the power of steam

The old big boy can still pull a deasil engine be hind it witch is more than they say here.
