Thank you, Andrew, and your production crew! I enjoyed watching this video of Big Boy 401 traveling from Council Bluffs, Iowa to the St. Louis, Missouri area. You found locations those other videographers did not seek out for their videos. I was hoping that you would have shown how Big Boy 4014 made its way onto the former Chicago & Eastern Illinois trackage at B&O Tower, but that location may not be accessible. It would have been nice to see Big Boy 4 pass through Dolton Junction. You did catch the train in Chicago Heights, Illinois as it crossed the former Elgin, Joliet & Eastern tracks that are now owned by Canadian National. (Posted 15 September 2024 at 2158 CDT.)
Awesome video! We were able to chase 4014 in Desoto MO and end in Poplar Bluff MO. Our intention was to do a two day chase, but a family member became I’ll. We had a banner with us that we took that read “Here from South Carolina 2 day chase”. We got an acknowledgement from Ed in Arcadia with a point/ thumbs up and a whistle! Awesome day for us sept 12th 2024
Excellent job and strong efforts with this video. Best video I’ve seen so far and it will be difficult if not impossible to beat this video. Thanks! 🤔🙏
@44:20 the articulation of the front engine on 4014 is in full display. You can see it (the off set) on curves if you know what to look for but, in that shot you can see the front engine going back and forth crossing the junction. If someone ever makes a video about how an articulated locomotive works, that is the sequence to illustrate it perfectly.
I’ve seen Union Pacific Big Boy 4014 at De Soto Missouri on September 12th 2024, he was awesome.

Fantastic multi-day chase! I would've thought you'd get diamond shots at Chicago Heights and Momence, but you guys did not disappoint as always!
YES! YESS! YES!
Chased it on September 9th! Super amazing adventure!

Thank you very much!
Jay Leno @ 4:10. He made an entire video on the Big Boy for the Jay Leno's garage TH-cam channel.

I hope they return in their 160 anniversary again
Nest time use a camera which can focus properly.
