don't worry about people saying I want to hear a cold start because it not worth tearing up your equipment to please them just start it with that pack running sounds better and you don't have to wait long for that heat either.
Beat me to it. Exactly what I was thinking. Until somebody drives up with that $500-$600 starter with a mechanic to change it, I wouldn't do it. Won't be tearing up my stuff just to appease a stranger on TH-cam. Second thought, I wouldn't do it then either.
Not good watching Orwell struggling like that when you do cold start look after Orwell and he run for another 10yrs easy.pls don’t do it again mate
Orwell rolled coal both days, No worries.
Yea don't listen to people wanting you to destroy your truck
THANK YOU STEVE for taking me Along.. nice views.
Orwell sounds much happier today.
It doesn't matter what you put on for a load it always looks safe, secure, and professional. Safe travels, driver!!
Good job of stacking 5 loads in a 3 load trailer. Safe trip, Driver.
Rumor has it... Prime still trying to park 🤣🤣🤣
😊 I haven't been across Interstate 80 in Wyoming in 25 years when me and the wife used to team Thanks for the Memories
Hey Steve, You're Doing Some Good Work! Stay Safe Man!
As another person has said, don't worry about tha Na Sayers! You do You! But that plow load is bonkers,,,,,lot's of Creativity in that one......Safe Travels!
I loved coming and going west. Drive, sleep, drive, sleep, maximize my day I would start my day getting up at 5:am eastern. Being out west made it easier to find a place to park at the end of the days driving. Thumbs up 👍
When the going gets rough,the tuff 💪 get going🚛💯
Great content Steve! Put on the nicest rims, but leave ol" Rusty on. It's your trademark now.
Incredible chooching once you hit the freeway in Wyoming. Just as a warming-up diesel should!
That high altitude and thin air makes them old diesels roll coal about every time you shift.
13:15 white Volvo dry van trailer going opposite way, THATS ME... I hollered at ya, but didn't hear anything.
Sometimes ya just gotta give a creative honk and then keep on truckin'
That was some coal you rolled! Be safe and stay warm.
Yep, Orwell fired up nice, easy, and fast with the Green APU keeping the engine warm and the batteries at maximum charge. Don't go doing any more of those cold starts.
I smashed that "Like" button like you would not believe! I smashed it so hard that there in now a hole in my monitor.
I thought it took a little life out the starter yesterday.. but the CPU will extend it .. they're expensive lol
Safe travels 🍃✨
Those partials loads can pay well keep on truckin ,
good work stay safe
Lived in Green River for ten years. Like Wyoming. Miss it. Backpacked the Wind River Range just out of Pinedale where your first stop was.
Drilled oil/gas wells in the late 70's. Rawlins/Rock Springs/Evanston. No regrets as it was some prime landscapes out there. Always look forward to returning any chance I get.
Looking good with that black smoke going
That mountain might have been, what we call Eisenhower, because of the tunnel. I believe it’s official Loveland Pass. However, you would have to jump onto Hwy 6 to go over it. All hazmat loads have to take it. Once was running with a driver I met running west and he had hazmat. It’s so beautiful up there, I take it in the summer if I have the time.
Nice Job
We got a lot of black coil yesterday. Great work on the loid placement on the trailer. God-bless and safe travels
The challenger is gone from the UP, it was donated with the centenial and other stuff to a museum last year;
There is a challenger and a centennial in north platte
Yeah, I missed that.
Good ol' Laramie WY. Lived there winter of 00-01 when I went to WyoTech. Some memories in that town. Btw, then 3985 Challenger locomotive is no longer in Cheyenne with the UP. It was donated and moved last year along with some other pieces of equipment including the DDA40X 6936 to the Railroading Heritage of Midwest America in Silvis IL. Only the 4014, 844 and 838 (parts unit for 844) are at the Cheyenne Steam Shops now.
that is a nice truckstop i stop there sometimes too
The only thing left in Cheyenne is the UP 844 and the Big Boy. The rest of the heritage fleet was sent to Silvis Illinois to a private/public partnership.
Steve good job❤❤❤
Orwell running on the old west 😍
I agree with the last person. No cold-start needed.
I’m definitely jealous of your big trip out west. I was out there a year ago end of January 2023. Want to go again so bad.
I miss stopping at Kwik trip in Brooklyn
As always SMASHED THE LIKE WITH VIGOUR !
Excellent!
Beautiful morning sun. Crossing the Great Plains in winter or high winds is not fun. But at the other end is some gorgeous country. Can't wait to see what happens next on this trip.
I have not seen Wyoming but have missed some videos.
I just love your videos. Stay safe!
1st time here. Thanks for The Galloping Goose and CW riff. Bill was a good friend. April 1st will be 2 years.
Oh Gretta.
huge difference the APU makes.
You mentioned union pacific big boy And the challenger 3985 big boy 4014 And also the 484. No 844
Thanx for the ride
Love seeing the down and dirty details. Not just the steering wheel.
You will see more of the U.S. this trip, than most people see in a lifetime. ??
@ 35:20, New Corvettes from Bowling Green KY. No more train rides from Corvettes, all the way on transports.
Nice touch for UK folks to see a map of where you going, carl uk 🇬🇧
UP steam program has the Big Boy (4014) and the 844 (never retired 4-8-4). The Challenger (3985) has been passed to another organization.
I was taught to hit those chains with your bar after you pull that binder. Sometimes that can be enough to make them shift or turn a link over on its side and it pops lose again. But you always do a good job with your load securement. So what do I know? LOL I like your videos by the way. Orwell is looking good.
Last time I was in Wyoming, it was 2010.
I made a lot of trips across 80 during good weather and bad. Good weather, run about 85 across there.
HAHA Orwell did grumble a little bit yesterday on the cold start
I have been to that Q STAR very large store. 😊
I loved running flatbed, you could see over the whole trailer when backing into a slot.
The scenery out west is definitely Awesome. Someday I'll get out there to see it. Stay warm, Stay safe, and have a good one.
Dam ..so close to checking out Big Boy 4014 but yet so far.. dam, im thinking of going there just to see it up close
Lol ..I guess you know where you are ..a couple minutes later you talked about both engines ...
Stunning countryside with the lovely sun behind you .carl 🇬🇧
After driving through snow and parking at night, don't set your trailer brakes if possible. Telling you from a friend. LoL.
Challenger and 5501 is now in another place. UP only has 4014 and 844. they donated the challenger, the Centennial and the other steam engine to focus on 4014. even 844 has taken a minor back seat as she does not have the PTC gear that 4014 does.
I was hoping that they would rebuild Challenger once they had the Big Boy finished. Would have been great to see the two of them running together.
I think its still possible! make one heck of a train thats for sure! @@comput3rman77
Finally some open road... Stand on it with both feet !
Love the videos of the beautiful state of Wyoming, keep doing what you are doing , be careful and safe out there, Mike from Mississippi.
Wyoming this time of year is rough
Nice to hear Martin Palich's steel drivin' history with Republic Steel and others, along with Ryan . Good music from the 8V71 clearing it's throat, might need a gargle to smooth it out , but you already taken big steps to get grasshopper roadworthy . Nice haul of parts and accessories from JR's Truck Parts .
I got to tell you. You put together the some of the best videos out there. I really like the way you set your cameras up on the outside of the truck. Be safe out there 💪💪
Great video Steve really enjoy all the different camera angles and your commentary. Looking forward to your next video stay safe Steve.
I dont know what you paid for the Green APU but it is worth every penny when you dont have to idle your engine all night for heat. It saves a lot of engine wear
You should go to the Missouri department of transportation museum. Just west of st Louis
What's it like to live out here? After spending most of my life doing what you're doing, I found I liked it here. I quit the OTR and went strictly local. Best decision I ever made in my whole life! Married a gal from here, bought a house here, bought a bed to go in the house and I sleep in that bed every night!
The thing about I 80 Wyoming is that they were begged and pleaded to build it the northern hwy 30 area instead of the wind tunnel mts of now. They rejected the advice.
My Grandfather worked at the round house 30 plus years till he retired in1975,then they moved the round house and all the cranes to Northplatt NE😊
The union Pacific 844 is there it's the only steam locomotive that never retired
Challenger locomotive got moved to Illinois last year
back in the 90s & early 2000s the fine was 500$ for each wheel position if caught by DOT depending on how many chains each state said you were required to carry. the company trucks had chain bank hangers so we carried chains year round. it was easier to carry them year round instead of trying to get by the office to pick them up.
gday steve. boy thats beautiful. country you have over there. orwell is purring today.👍👍👍👍
safe travels steve , orwell sounds alot better today
I live 14 miles east of Elko NV. along I-80 MP 314 and love it I've been back in your neck of the woods to many people back there and I hate big city's
Couple of years ago Union Pacific's Big Boy 4014 came through Mcalester Oklahoma were I live. It was awesome.
That is a pre-trip inspection you should do before driving. 🙂
It's windy. And cold and hot. But it's always beautiful. Based in Cheyenne currently
Hey Steve , hows it going , you like trains you need to visit the Henry Ford museum and greenfield village in dearborn MI you wont be disappointed
My father trucked all his life and he used to go out west a lot. He'd always say he liked trucking out west for the scenery but he'd also say how lonely it felt out there. Sure is different than going east.
20:51 I don’t ever remember you filming coming through here on video.
I use to love that Kwik Trip in What Cheer/Brooklyn Iowa, they had the best Turkey Sandwiches, that’s the one with the mashed potatoes and gravy!😊
that ending looks ominous
From my experiences of being in the west, I learned if you don't plan ahead or don't have chains. it will test even the most experienced traveler when it wants to if you don't pay attention to the forecasts or hope you don't have to turn around and go back into the city because of a June snowstorm.
Seen you at Joplin parked I was th Conestoga 2 spaces over
G'morning and safe travels!
I'm glad you've got an APU unit, i never had the luxury of having one. Keep an eye on your equipment, a lot of things go missing in the truck stops. Don't stay in Wyoming too long, the winds can get pretty nasty up there.
Good morning from England 🇬🇧 steve love this channel
Love your cab over, awesome tractors.
Beautiful scenery
Take Orwell to the Grand Canyon after Flagstaff
Hey Steve I'm from wyoming live I'm sweetwater county just West of Rock Springs wy and I do t remember the last time u came through since u started the channel and hope u made it through before the ice and snow came through
If or when you have time, there is an old Territorial Fort & prison in Laramie that can be toured. The surrounding Laramie area is prime for Pronghorn, Elk, Mountain Lion & Mule Deer hunting. Terrific area.
My 99 flb started on fire out there at 252mm eb. Was just over 1 year old. 40:26
Very good video thanks for sharing
love me some trains we have a great museum here in Sacrmento calif safe truckins my friend !
I. Like. Your. Truck. You. Dont. To. Many. Of. Them. Around
What. Year. Is your. Truck
Snows a'comn brother. Be care out here in our neck of the woods.
Albuquerque is putting you somewhat near me over in West Texas. Safe travels.
