- This is Part 1 of 2
Welcome back everyone! Today’s video is one I’ve wanted to make for a long time, and finally the opportunity came with the Heartland of America tour: a chance to shoot the Union Pacific 4014, the Big Boy steam engine!
This 132-foot long, 4-8-8-4 steam engine built in 1941 by the American Locomotive Company is the largest operating steam engine in the US. It produces 135,375 pound-feet of tractive effort (as many as 270 modern Ford F-150s), and has a top speed of 60 miles per hour. It's an articulated engine, meaning its front set of drivers and pilot truck (or bogie) can rotate separately from the frame to let it navigate tight corners in the track.
On the Heartland tour, the Big Boy and its train travels through ten US states, and today my friends @midnightrailfan and @jackboy317 are chasing it through Illinois. It’s a two day trip, with our first day starting in Malta (near Rochelle) and ending in Villa Grove, (near Champaign). We had a great time chasing, and I hope you enjoy seeing our experience in this video! Stay tuned for the second part as well, where we chase to St Louis Missouri.
As always, remember to leave a like if you enjoy, and consider subbing as well!

That engine sure lives up to its name! Great job Jacob!
Awesome machine, uses 2000 gallons of water or more a day. 8 tons of water.
Thanks all!

Excellent Footage of 4014!
Dang that thing is gnarly
Awesome video! Always a pleasure chasing with you! Here's hoping for another mainline run next year
@@MidnightRailfan same to you man! Thanks for driving too. We gotta get an 844 chase sometime soon!
Magnificent catches of the Big Boy 4014 steam locomotive coming by and pass, I like it 5 stars.
Thumbs up.
Hearing that amazing puffing and chuffing sound and cars coming through is absolutely crazy.
Keep up the perfect work, my friend, I just liked and subscribed your channel, Greetings from Portugal to the USA.
Thanks so much for your comment! It is an amazing sight indeed. Not gonna lie, it’s a little prideful to see the big boy be known all over the world!

@@YellowNoseProductions no problem man! I'm from Michigan so I never get to see this stuff. This is hands down, one of the best big boy videos I've seen yet!
It’s good Tobert the King
I wish it would come to the East Coast
It was amazing to see so many people who come from all over to watch a piece of America in such a disgusting time that was caused by democrats
@@kerrygibson602 glad you enjoyed! yes it is good to see people united, but it’s the truth that the world has issues, and the best thing to do is focus on the positives. Thats why we go out to see trains!
Oh good lord, it's a locomotive video, keep your idiotic political takes out of it and just enjoy.
