This is a beautiful piece of Steam Era Engineering. The pinnacle of that Era. And to think that we will be going to all battery powered electric in the next few years! (Kidding about the electric)
Desde Cali Colombia con amor feliz día okey gracias por tu vídeo de tan hermosa máquina el tren de ensueño gracias besos y abrazos para el tren y sus integrantes okey
The caboose got left somewhere in California when it went highballin up to Donner after the tree strike it had no caboose but damn was he laying the power on
I wish they could put the diesel at the rear of the train and use it like a DPU if they needed dynamic braking. It might take some doing to rig the Big Boy as the control unit, but I would think it reasonably possible.
I'm sure if you funded it, they would consider it. haha I think they should place traction motors on the first, second and last axles of the tender, if possible. Electricity could be supplied from a power car, via MU, behind the water tenders. I'm sure they could figure out how/where to incorp[orate the DB system. But again, $$$$$
Seeing #4014 is always a treat, but I wonder where Union Pacific was hiding their clean and fresh freight cars? I guess U.P. had them under lock 🔒 and 🗝️ key and armed guards to keep the graffiti taggers at bay....😂😂😂😂
When 4014 is "working" at pulling a normal load, which consumable is used faster, the water or the fuel? I'm wondering in, say, gallons per hour average.Just silly monkey curiosity.
Well now, isn't this interesting. Here is the Big Boy, with a Diesel Engine, "Helper"? Maybe the electronics package installed into the tender, failed or malfunctioned. Or is it because even with the added cars. The Big Boy needs help braking. Or perhaps a bit of a push up some hills? I know when it left Cheyenne back on June 30th, there was no Diesel engine, because I watched it go out, and took a video of it. Very odd, that the Diesel engine if back.
No - no on the electrical power. Freight engines are not set up to make 480 Volt 3 phase power. Besides, the Boiler-Dorm car has a Cat generator running in it, to power the three Steam Crew cars... A diesel will most likely appear now behind 4014 when traveling down the more steeply decending grades like Weber Canyon and Donner.

Really great footage of 4014 👍🚂 A perfect way to spend the Fourth of July 🇺🇸
2:32 - I love that they even have a caboose on the back! 👍👍
Wonderful shots of a wonderful locomotive 👍👍👍 ! A Big Thank You for sharing !
You got some great shots there. Thanks.
@@louGriggs1944 thank you
Great video 😍 Thanks for sharing!
@@motorTranz thank you for watching
that steam locomotive is so awesome
Он просто СУПЕР😊❤❤❤❤❤❤
“Whooooooahhh! LOOK at it!!!” I’m with ya, kid!
Cool caboose too!
🚂💨🚃🛤
Stunning 🤩🛤🚂thank you 🌟
@@mediacreations5996 thank you for watching
It amazes me that people standing 20 feet from a running BigBoy would put a phone in front of their eyes.
agree, they are truly missing the experience
you can excuse the babe in her very short jean cut-offs!

Thank you for watching
very enjoyable video
@@tedfisk1211 thank you for watching
What a handsome machine! I want to hear it breathe.
It’s awesome in person! If you ever get the chance to see it in person you should!! Nothing compares!!
We're going to try to go to Roseville to see it. 😊
It’s a lot faster that I thought, it was going about 80 down by the salt lake
The caboose got left somewhere in California when it went highballin up to Donner after the tree strike it had no caboose but damn was he laying the power on
Не устаю им любоваться, это выдающийся паровоз❤❤❤❤❤❤❤ в россии нет таких😢
I would love to see the 4014 but I'm all the way in the East anyway you can bring it east
@@denniscomerford4756 I wish I could, thanks for watching.
....and all of the cars are graffiti free...
I love it when people get a close up pucture.... I CAN NOT GET THE WHOLE THING IN ONE FRAME!

They said no more diesel. What happened?

Hope so.
When 4014 is "working" at pulling a normal load, which consumable is used faster, the water or the fuel? I'm wondering in, say, gallons per hour average.Just silly monkey curiosity.
I'd guess it's water, but I don't know.
Jährlich bin ich in Kalifornien und immer verpasse ich sie
Es tut mir leid, dass Sie ihn immer wieder vermissen, und vielen Dank fürs Zuschauen
What is the car directly behind the engine?
The two large, yellow tenders are full of water. Steam locomotives drink water like rednecks drink Bud Light.
The tinder is black & holds fuel oil I believe. The first yellow car I believe is the water tanker. Someone correct me if I am wrong.

The bloody diesel is back…😖
Custom brake pads aren't cheap. :/
Why?
Does the,,,diesel look like it's been on fire
sometimes the GEs do that (catch on fire)
EMD EXTENDED RANGE DYNAMIC BRAKING
Saves brake shoes time and money.
Hey why does the Union Pacific 4014 have a diesel locomotive behind it
Descending Down Echo and Weber Canyon plus providing additional help going upgrades💯
The diesel/electric loco is only there to provide electrical power to the passenger cars. BigBoy produces pulling power only not electricity.
No - no on the electrical power.

I don't like seeing that damned diesel back behind 4014, regardless of the fact it's not doing any pulling, it just looks WRONG!
My guess is to save 4014's very expensive brake shoes on the long descent.
Shadow maybe I don't know Look dark
Underexposure issues.
