WOW!! I’d give my right arm to ride in that cab!!👍🏻👌🏻
A few things,
1. I’d love to get a cab ride on the big boy going fast.
2. Putting sand in the firebox is nothing like putting coal in it.
3. I’m dying to blow the whistle on that locomotive next to Ed.
The sound of a Big Boy is music.
The whistle is roaring Serengeti black mane male Lion. Wonderful majestic mighty machine. I love steam Loco.
Beautiful engine, beautiful landscape!!!
Nice cab ride, but nobody show Ed operating the whistle that is exciting when we hear it and it would be even exciting to see how it's done.
Wonderful ❤
Сморю все ролики с этим чудо-техники паровозом!!! Любуюсь им, желаю ему сохраниться на долгие годы!!❤❤❤❤❤❤❤ он этого достоин🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗
The southern Pacific cab forward locomotives had a big advantage on the ability to see in front of the locomotives and never breathe the smoke from the locomotives.
I'd sure love to see them take the C&O Allegheny Class 2-6-6-6 #1601 out of the Henry Ford Museum in Dearborn, Michigan and get it running again. I'd love to see that thing thundering down the tracks!
These are the first images I've ever seen of the cab of 4014. Would love to see a video tour of the cab. And a firing of the boiler.
I think the boiler is now oil fired so there might not be a view of firing the boiler
@@edwardantrobusjr2253 For some reason I did not think you could see the firing of the boiler for an oil burner but it turns out I was wrong.
this is pretty boss mr claunch
Howonderful! Hope that we can see the lighting of the fire of the cold engine. Or is it first very slowly heated from a stationary boiler and when enough pressure, the fuel oil pump is turned on and fire ignited?
Interesting to see a 21st century computer monitor in the cab of a steam locomotive.
That is because the class I railroads have to have PTC on them now. Hyce has a good video on the many reasons there is a diesel locomotive in the consist with the 4014 including housing the electronics for PTC
nice🎉🎉🎉🎉
Will simple foam earplugs and standing back 25 feet be enough to protect ears? I want to see it when it comes to Oroville.
Are you the guy that paid 28k to ride
If I was an old man and I had extra money what better possible way to spend it? Life is for experiences. They are priceless
🥰🥰💗💗😍😍
So does GCOR rule 2.21 not apply to the Big Boy?
Time 01:00. What is that digital yikes next to the driver doing there?
That would be their PTC console.
Those screens would normally be mounted in the stand or desk of a modern diesel unit.
You want to play choo-choo? FRA says you'll have PTC installed.
@@UTtrainsignalmodeler Okey. Thanks! In Sweden ATC is used and trains without it are allowed but are limited to 80 km/h, 50 mph.
@@Stefan_Boerjesson Yep. I no longer work in the industry, so I don't know what the exceptions or provisions are that would allow them to operate without PTC.
@@UTtrainsignalmodeler - I think a non-PTC locomotive can operate on short lines. The Friends of the 261 have been running fan trips with 4-8-4 steamer #261 on the Twin Cities & Western Railroad, a former Milwaukee Road mainline that runs west from Minneapolis.
I still feel the UP should have the Challenger
やっぱりSLはどこの国でも人気があるんだなあ。

All the cars you know they following 😂
Arn´t they standing and jumping a little? Like in most steam locomotives the driving wheels have to be rebalanced, it´s only me who can do that. To increase the possible speed to from 90km/h to 200 is possible, have no time left. Or it´was done already. Yes OK. See the difference
And as usual a diesel is having to push it
Only to help the Big Boy get going at first but afterwards she'll take care of the rest herself. Unless a stall were to happen then that's kind of their safety measure of getting 4014 to the maintenance shed safe and sound. Since the Big Boy weighs 600 tons, it's quite difficult in physics to move something that massive unless acted upon by an outside force.
@@TheSilverShadow17so how did they do it back in the day? (Genuinely wondering)
They use the diesel because parts now are really hard to find and all have to be custom made so when you dont have to push the locomotive as much you get lower wear on parts making it much cheaper to run. For example when on steep grades most trains would use sand which is very abrasive causing increased wear to the drivetrain. Its much cheaper for them to instead have the diesel help it so 4014 doesent need sand prolonging the lifespan of components. Hope that explains it
QUE BELÍSSIMA ENGENHARIA, NAQUELES TEMPOS FABRICAR UMA MÁQUINA DESTAS, ERA PARA POUCOS
I have been building and operating steam locomotives for more than 50 years in 5" and 2 1/2" scale. But nothing would be as thrilling as a cab ride on the full size locomotive.
Вы молодцы американцы!!!! Создали грандиозную технику - паровоз БИГ БОЙ❤❤❤❤❤
Is it different schooling to operate the big boy or the same to operate deisels
