Join us as we pace UP No. 4014 out of Gering, NE on its way towards North Platte and Omaha on the Home Run Express. Watch and listen as Big Boy accelerates its ~1,132 ton train up to about 40 mph on the South Morrill Sub, over territory that has never seen a 4000-class locomotive until today. Enjoy =)
Huge thanks to / @nyctarailfan for being my pace driver.
FAQ (Read before commenting):
The diesel locomotive accompanies UP Steam power to provide a measure of security and flexibility in operations. The diesel can hold or slow the train speed down using dynamic braking, thus saving the cost of new brake shoes and the time needed to install them. Additionally, the diesel can be used to assist when necessary, and to extend the fuel and water supply, allowing for longer operating distances and days. Finally, as of 2021, the diesel is an integral part of the PTC system required for FRA compliance.
The water overflow from just in front of the rear cylinder on the fireman's side is the exhaust steam injector overflow port. Discharge from this port is normal when starting and stopping the injector, and when the injector switches between live steam and exhaust steam.

What a great old engine. It's like moving art,work
I never noticed until watching your recent videos just how impressive 4014's acceleration was. For such a massive engine, Big Boy can sure get up to speed quickly.
And this isn't even anywhere near full throttle. The entire stretch of track they're running on here is in the downhill direction, so Ed probably doesn't have the throttle open more than half to accelerate, and he hooks up the gear fairly quickly. The diesel is in like dynamic 3 or so to hold the train speed to 40 mph once they get there.
Yes, it's all Big Boy doing the pulling and not the diesel 4015 behind it. The diesel is for other things like brakes and even the computer and electronics that are legally required among other things. BTW the BIG BOY can pull far heavier loads( Not that the 4015 isn't a powerful loco in it's own right).
I appreciate the all the recent Big Boy action @Fan Railer keep the videos coming💯🔥🚂🚃🚋🚃🚋🚋🚃🚃🚃
I just noticed that your chase and pacing videos are 40:14 in length. Very clever!
It's become a bit of a running thing for me to try and do now.
Ones again epic footage of pacing the Big Boy. Thank you and a shout out all the way from The Netherlands !
By far the best chase cinematography of this beauty ❤️ VERY much appreciated and thanks for sharing!
Great job on capturing this video. Wow! One of the best 🚂👍😁. Beautiful Big Boy.
nice video especially with the meet. that was epic
" Amazing Camera Work Excellent Shots" 👌👌
Thanks for your hard efforts and for sharing!
12:16 looks like 4014 has fans of the equine persuasion as well. good to know the fame and appreciation of the BigBoys extends across the boundaries of species.
Спасибо автору за прекрасные кадры моего любимого паровоза БОЛЬШОЙ МАЛЬЧИК❤❤❤
Fantastic !!!!
Incredibly good video work. How'd you get it so steady, and good audio too wow!
wow❤❤
The absolute T-Rex of rail ....
The 4014 is really a great engine. It's kind of like a modified thirty nine eighty five3985, I sure missed that old engine.
In terms of design lineage, the 3985 is a shrunken down version of the 4014.
Amazing locomotive and amazing video but what I’d really love to see is C&O 614 get back up and running. I’m really surprised that Ross Rowland has let that locomotive languish for so long!
The 614 needs a top down complete overhaul at this point; it's been outdoors for so long. We're talking several million dollars that isn't going to be easy to come by.
interesting video, like
Can you tell me what make and model camera you are using to take these great shots? Thanks for your effort in bringing these shots to those who can not see her in person.
Does anyone know why Big Boy seems to be limited to 40? Is it common practice or FRA laws?
Because that’s the speed she’s happiest running at.
Maximum efficiency
@@FanRailer fair enough
It was going every bit of 55-60 mph when I saw it.
Yea no, it wasn't. They do not run the 4014 over 50 mph. This trip they were averaging 40 mph.
