Union Pacific 4014 Big Boy, Deer Crossing, Smashing Pennies, Calf crossing, southern Idaho,

Watch in 4K! Big Boy 4014 is smashing pennies for kids, watches as a 4 point buck crosses the tracks while checking out the 4014, a calf says ok you win - I'm moving off the track to let you by! The US stars and stripes are flying along with the Utah State flag because the 4014 left from Utah on the morning of July 22nd. This footage is in southern Idaho around Bancroft and Soda Springs. The Union Pacific 4014 Big Boy is heading east, almost like the song. You should play your favorite music loud!

The engine dumps a ton of water from the left side. Why isn't that recycled instead of dumped?

That is the exit chute from the redesigned blowdown system. Originally, most big UP steam locomotives, i.e. 800s, 3900s, 4000s and 9000s, were all equipped with the Wilson Blowdown/Sludge remover system. The Wilson system, had fairly large diameter steam discharge "turbine" device on top, forward of the cab. When either the Engineer's or Fireman's remote controlled blowdown was opened, the boiler water would be piped into that circular "turbine" device, where the sludgy liquid would be flung outwards, and discharged out of that chute under the Engineer's side of the cab. The saturated steam would be exhausted vertically out the large diameter exhaust hole on the center of the "turbine" device.
This is from trainorders.com website- they are a group of folks that know a lot of train trivia-I’m a photographer that knows nothing about trains! They are kool to film! I know Big Boy No. 4014 was delivered to Union Pacific in December 1941. The locomotive was retired in December 1961, having traveled 1,031,205 miles in its 20 years in service. Lots of history!
