- Union Pacific has once again brought the massive ALCO 4-8-8-4 over to California, but this time it traveled to Northern California for the 2024 Westward Bound Tour! I was able to make the drive up to see UP #4014, and man was it a blast seeing this steam engine in action again.
I saw the Big Boy in Oroville, just as it was making it's way into town for a 30 minute whistle stop. Afterwards, I traveled southbound to the Haggin Junction in Sacramento, where it would turn eastbound towards Roseville.
I also included two UP trains that I managed to capture before UP #4014 passed through. The first was a massive westbound manifest train, the second being an empty eastbound work train.
Thanks so much for watching, and I hope you have an amazing day!

Not nearly as impressive as it would be without the diesel holding it's hand ... Still impressive, but just sayn..
The diesel is needed whether we like it or not, still an awesome train to watch. Also, the diesel being the Western Pacific Heritage Unit was a nice touch imo
The diesel isn’t needed they just want it for dynamic braking to reduce the use of expensive brake shoes
@@Strasburg_Railfaner611I knew that, feel like that still falls under needing the engine. But either way, glad I was able to see it regardless of having diesel power or not
