They have air powered train whistles for big trucks. I wanted to buy one for mine but it was a little to pricy. I did have train horns though. Fun stuff.
I remember as a kid listening to that lonely whistle late at night in the winter time. It has to be the the most awesome sound in the world. That whistle and the other sounds brought a tear to my eye. Thanks for the memories. Steve O
This is when the engine crew actually had to work. My dad shoveled coal just before the Diesel electrics took over. Then ran the diesels for another forty years.
Well, in there he maybe one of the hottest (there is a giant boiler in front of 'em after all)... However, there is no doubt that he is the luckiest man in the world. Talk about an elite group of people... 4014 engineer.
Look at all the people stopped by the railside to watch, take pictures and film 4014. This shows that American lost her heart to and never stopped loving the steam locomotive!!!
My grandPa use to take me on train rides from Tutuban, Manila to Damirtice in Baguio before the winding road up to Baguio. These trains remind me of GrandPa and he use to get me scrambled egg and toast sandwich from the dining car. Now at 75, my turn to take my grandkids 😎🇵🇭🇺🇲
This video is AWESOME, thanks. It's so easy to assume all the engineers have to do is push the starter button, pull the horn, and put your foot on the brakes, lol. Wonderful to see the operation from the horse's mouth, so to speak. Loved it.
I didn't hardly like train's that much till I actually seen 4014 big boy on here I wished 4014 big boy came through northeast Alabama. But maybe one day I can see 4014 big boy I really like the sound of the horn
Don't forget it is the enthusiasm of the people across the USA that make them want to do it. The wonder of what these locomotives could to - large or small and how they Made America Great before the fascists took over.
Was the Ed Dickens at the helm as the Locomotive Engineer?????? Big Boy is like a faithful Lap dog, doing what it's told. It's also great to see no Computer technology guiding the Helm, but good old manpower .................
Wow! It must be a amazing sight being in the cab! I absolutely the thundering chug of the pistons and the roaring sound of the whistle.Hopefully someday I’ll be in that same cab!
I miss my Grandpaw. He Worked UP, and retired from there . Van Buren Ar. Yard. Ol rail days UP had a small carnival and all the food for family members that worked for UP. It was great growing up in a railroad family.
Im so glad they got this thing finished before covid, that would not be an option in the budget now to restore and old steam loco how amazing, edd you tha man hats off to you and your crew
Boy, ol' Ed sure likes to quill...a bit too much, I think! But this is a really superb video - one of the best cab rides I've seen. The audio is just spectacular....you can really hear all the brake applications, injector operating, etc. Good show, Mr. Jones!
Incredible beautiful video! First I've ever seen from the cabin of a Big Boy, I always wanted to see how it's like to be in there! Thank you so much for this video! Hope you make some more of this goosebump material! :D
I remember the first day they brought big boy home in the days in the month as it was fixing big boy big boy will always be in my heart thank you so much for showing me the video of the big boy I will always love the big boy care thanks once again and God bless🙏 from Indianapolis Indiana thanks again👍
Foi sensacional ver um OBC numa locomotiva a vapor construída em 1941. Como estava escrito numa placa lá dentro "SECURITY FIRST". Parabéns pelo vídeo. 🇧🇷
Fantastic video, as you got into the heart and soul of 4014. Really shows the operation and the fact that 4014 rides like a Cadillac. What is the brass lever the brakeman/conductor is has his hand on?
The brass handle is called the "firing valve". He regulates the amount of oil going into the burner with that, plus that atomizer which is a steam jet to break the oil stream apart to combust it more efficiently. When the engine isn't working very and doesn't have a high amount of draft being drawn through the flues towards the front of the locomotive, as is seen towards the end of the video while coming to a stop, he uses the blower, which is an artificial draft to again introduce air for combustion. The blower is shut off when the engine is working harder at higher throttle settings which pulls air through the firebox with the exhaust. There is also a damper, which again, regulates the flow of air through the firebox based on combustion needs.
What you don’t see in this video is the super fine notches for that lever. They’re very close together. Just the tiniest movement of the firing valve can, and often does, make a huge difference.
Great video! Imagine a gathering of train fans with each trying to outdo the other on best railfan experience. "I got a cab ride on 4014," would certainly shut them all up! RUNNING 4014, well, that'd shut up anyone interested in trains for good...
Train horn & bell make a good mobile ring tone thats one bigass powerful train bigboy 500tons Got to see that Vidja inside bigboy 4014 how they converted into an oil burner Hobo shoestring vidjas appeared weeks ago - one thing leads to another must be train vidja time .
@@Hogdriver88.... As a matter of Fact, I retired from a Class 1 RR as a locomotive engineer. What does the "Grateful Dead" have anything to do with this subject, anyway?
And at about 4:20, you can both hear the stack exhaust and also barely make out the back pressure gauge needle reading about 15 lbs, which is equivalent to a substantial amount of work being produced by the locomotive.
It’d be so much fun to drive these things for a living. Sadly there aren’t many railways left in the United States and all the ones near me are run by terrible companies. Sad…
My only critique is that too much of the time, the camera is pointed at parts of the backhead with nothing of note on it. I would have liked to see more of a focus on Ed in the engineer's seat, the controls and gauges, and maybe a little more of that PTC screen.
@@FanRailer if I ever get to ride it again or the 844. I will be more alert of what I am filming. I was leaving my city (Mayor Jones) heading to muskogee with Mayor Coleman of Muskogee.
@@FanRailer PTC screen is boring like a 1980s video game. Nothing much to see unless there was something special going on. Trust me you would rather watch Ed run the locomotive
@@theknickerbocker5808 If you're sitting in the jump seat behind the fireman, the PTC screen is going to be in the shot anyway if you're filming Ed running the locomotive. The screen itself may be boring for the average viewer, but it does show train speed, which is useful.
I am the mayor of wagoner. myself and the mayor of muskogee were invited to ride. I wanted everyone who couldn't ride to be able to experience the fantastic once in a lifetime view. it was extremely 🔥🥞♨️🥵 hot and I have deep respect for the crew. I was only in the sweltering cab for 30 minutes. those guys do it all day.
I'd like to know how they installed the PTC system? I think the Dynamo Puts out DC volts and PTC runs on Ac. Not to mention the Big boy is old school long before the PTC
I believe Ed spoke about how they were able to do that. In one of his update videos, back when they were assembling the Big Boy. Since that was one of the questions that came up a lot on social media.
The main portion of the system is in the diesel, which has AC power supply. The 4014 is equipped with a radio receiver and the screens in the cab to display information, both of which run fine off of the DC supply from the dynamo.
@@FanRailer Yes, because one of the generator's was retrofitted to power items like the PTC. Which is what I have heard Ed Dickinson state a number of times. Including in the video I shared in this post. So again one of the generator's on the 4014 was retrofitted to function the same way the generators on the diesel engines function. To power everything onboard including items like the PTC, along with everything else onboard the 4014. I've heard him state this very thing in update videos as they were disassembling and reassembling the 4014, in person, and in the question and answer video I posted that took place in Ft Worth, Texas.
I don't see any whiskey in the cab. My Uncle Ted a Fireman on a steam locomotive said in the 30's,40's,& 50's the crew were always drinking whiskey on the Pennsylvania RR, but it was common on all Railroads.
There aren't many things in life that give me goosebumps, but this POV sure did. Thank you Mr. Jones.
Can you only imagine the feel of being in the cab? Feeling all the bellowing bass frequencies as that monster pants!
They should bring back whistles, back in the day you could tell the different engineers by how they made their whistles "talk"
Or air powered horns
@@RailPreserver2K..... ??? All diesel locomotive horns, are air powered.
@@Romans--bo7br what he means is a air whistle probably

Yes, the dream of many.... unfortunately, this will be the last tour for Quite a While.

Saw big boy come into muskogee awesome sight!
Thank you for these in the cab shots. As a hobbiest who has built two live steamers, I appreciate what is going on.
I was there in Muskogee saw it in person. It was beautiful 🤩
Fantastic I live in Coweta Ok in Wagoner Oklahoma great to see this. I am a big fan of trains especially steam trains.
Great video. Thanks so much for sharing.

A couple from England was recording by me and was so excited to see in life the big boy
This is one of the few videos where you can really hear that “slamming” when it picks up speed 🥰🥰
I would love to ride in that cab any day
Me too!
only in the winter time...it looks to be well over 100 degrees
Steam locomotives are so appealing!
very cool video thanks so much for sharing it!!! love THE OLD TRAINS!!!!
Thank you for a great ride.
Nice view from the fireman side of the locomotive.

Wonderful locomotive🙌
Greetings from Mexico 🇲🇽
This is why im a huge fan of Steam locomotives 😀
How neat to see the view from the train and all the works inside!!!
Great video of inside the cab of the train - lot of work!
Any relation to the Atwood conductors who work for UP?
No relation
38 WHEELS STEAM LOCOMOTIVE! JUST UNBELIEVABLE!
3:52. Notice the safety tag. It has 844 and RIP 3985…..
Very nice ride along thank you for this. It was Awsome
Awesome video, thanks for sharing it with us.
saw 844 in Wagner 10-15 years ago...beautiful machines!
Wow, some wonderful amazing footage!
That’s so cool. Thanks for posting.
Great video! This is the first time I watch this.
I saw Big Boy two hours after this video when train arrived in McAlester OK and spent the night there
Fantastic video, as you got into the heart and soul of 4014. Really shows the operation and the fact that 4014 rides like a Cadillac. What is the brass lever the brakeman/conductor is has his hand on?
He's the fireman! He is controlling the amount of fuel oil fed into the firebox, depending on the need to maintain steam pressure.
The brass handle is called the "firing valve". He regulates the amount of oil going into the burner with that, plus that atomizer which is a steam jet to break the oil stream apart to combust it more efficiently. When the engine isn't working very and doesn't have a high amount of draft being drawn through the flues towards the front of the locomotive, as is seen towards the end of the video while coming to a stop, he uses the blower, which is an artificial draft to again introduce air for combustion.

This vid is awesome, best watched with good headphones as there are stereo components. Thank you!
Notice how Mr. Ed pulled onto Muscogkee and rolled to a stop ever so careful ❤️😃

thats one bigass powerful train bigboy 500tons
Got to see that Vidja inside bigboy 4014 how they converted into an oil burner
Hobo shoestring vidjas appeared weeks ago - one thing leads to another must be train vidja time .
7:38 - Every bit like I imagined it in my childhood
Yeah I know it's a team effort - but can you imagine being the one who actually gets to drive that antique piece of history??
You don't "drive" a locomotive, you Operate it... like any other piece of heavy equipment.

Nice catch! Great content! Just scribed, keep them coming!
so cool, thank you
Man, that is rad - rock-star status!
Nice to see a view from this side for once
Great video. It must have been a completely different thing when it was coal operated. I wouldn't have wanted to be that guy. Hard work for sure.
It was blasting hot that day, The heat coming off the firebox was intense.
For those that say 4014 isnt under her own power... 9:35 she slipped the drivers at part throttle while slowing down with the air set.... Yeah
And at about 4:20, you can both hear the stack exhaust and also barely make out the back pressure gauge needle reading about 15 lbs, which is equivalent to a substantial amount of work being produced by the locomotive.
I’ve saw UP 7173 before. How cool to see it again in a video
Wow just. Unbeleavable
Awesome! How in the world does one figure out how to run this once extinct machine?
Great video!
It’d be so much fun to drive these things for a living. Sadly there aren’t many railways left in the United States and all the ones near me are run by terrible companies. Sad…
Imagino o calor ali dentro!
Curious how much steam pressure is lost when yanking on the whistle like that?
Since it doesn't cause the locomotive to slow down any I doubt it is noticeable. But that's an interesting question.
Отличное видео! Респект!
Actually saw that like 20 miles away from wagoner
I like how the sonalert is just duck taped to the PTC CDU cabinet 😂. Still a cool video.
Duck taped the UP way!!

12 hour shifts and the train must stop to take on a new crew .
If they looked more to the right before leaving you could have even seen me.
