These were truly the days the long, loud distant whistle and the vibrating ground as the iron horse thundered over vast lands to distant far away places, hauling and serving the country for years on end. Today, these sights and sounds are only a distant memory yet can never be forgotten by those who used to see them in action.
Back in the early 90's I found this on VHS for $80 in a model train store. I was so infatuated with the 4000 series that I gladly handed my money over. Looking back now, I find it hard to believe.
The old steam locomotives had personality or some would say soul. They seemed alive and magical not just hum drum mechanical. I appreciate the modern units but love the old steam powered magic carpets.
21:47: _"The rumble and roar of Big Boy, will seem still to echo, from the high country of southern Wyoming."_ (And it will again!) Well, yesterday for the first time, 4014 finally speaks at last! His whistle finally roared under steam for all Big Boys after 59 years, 9 months and 6 days!! (4/27/19)
And as I sit here in 2019, it isn't an echo in Southern Wyoming. TODAY It is REAL! UP knew their heritage circa 1960 when this was made this film, and today they put their money into that heritage to make it LIVE!
I was lucky enough to see #4014 when she stopped in Limon, Colorado, on her way back to Wyoming. A truly magnificent beast, the pinnacle of American engineering. I had seen #4005 at her home in the Forney Museum, but to see one of them alive and running again was an unforgettable experience. The power and majesty of these iron giants can never really be matched by the electric/combustion muscle of today's world. I'm glad to have found this film and I'm glad #4014 is out there keeping the memory alive.
GWR is impressed. big boy still holds the record for the worlds largest locomotive, and pretty sure most powerful. as it was running 7,500 horses one time pulling 8.8 million pounds up what i think was a .8% grade edit: nevermind russia holds the record for most powerful (allegedly, i did about 3 minutes of research) with a diesel that pushes 17,000 horsepower.
4:54 UP 5511, a 2-10-2 that is the last survivor of her class. Still around today, used to be stored in the UP Steam Shops in Wyoming, recently sold to the Railroading Heritage of Midwest America. 9:11 UP 3985, a Challenger famous for it's role in the UP Steam Program, ran from the 80s to the 2010s, retired in 2020 due to bad condition, then also sold(sadly, in my opinion) to the Railroading Heritage of Midwest America. I say sadly because the 3985 was part of the UP's Big Three(The FEF, Challenger, and Big Boy), and part of the Steam Program Family. I honestly would've loved to see 3985 and 4014 run together again, and even doublehead! A sight not seen since the days of steam. . . Edit: HOLD IT!!! "The donation agreement allows the railroad *_to reclaim the locomotive_*_ upon reimbursing the museum for its costs."_ . . ."WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO, yeah baby! That's what we've been waiting for, that's what it's all about. Woooooo!"
This is so beautiful! I could watch it every day. Especially the ending with Big Boy's whistle. Gorgeous! I think it's awesome they showed Challenger engine 3985 as well. :) Steam engines surely are great machines!
Find it funny that in this short documentary, they displayed the sister engines of the 4014, the 4013 and 4015. Even Genesis, the 4000, was displayed. But 4014 was never caught on camera for this video. Thankfully she'll be up and running in time for the Union Pacific's 150th anniversary and will have many more years in the spotlight. I actually managed to catch the 4014 while it made its 3-day stop in Vegas. Got a picture of my HO scale model #4005 on the side rods of its life sized counterpart along with a few other memorable shots. I think I might catch a ride when 4014 is fully repaired.
+onepiececrazytrain Its also interesting that most of the steamers in this documentary have been saved specifically because of this movie. 5511 the 2-10-2, 3985, 9000, among others are survivors because the UP realized their screen appeal and saved them.
hey ,if anyone else wants to learn about how to get a job at the railroadhow to get a job on the railroad try Corbandy Simple Railroad Crusher (do a google search ) ? Ive heard some amazing things about it and my m8 got cool results with it.
I Remember Grand Trunk Western, The Pennsylvania, and Chesapeake and Ohio Steam Locomotives, I'm 65 now. Steam was damn near gone when I was a Kid. By 1960 Steam in Michigan was Gone. Semper Fidelis, The Gunny
Loved this, none of the big razzmatazz that several have placed on them, but just solid railway history with some classic images of a locomotive doing its job. They may be lost from the everyday, but not gone from existence, thankfully . The thought of seeing a big boy doing the job again is worth the wait.
I'm thankful there are some people at UP who realize the goodwill they generate by keeping a couple of their steamers alive is worth far more than what it costs. As a child of 1984, I never thought I would get to see a real Big Boy in action, but then they restored 4014 and made me into a kid again for a few hours. Not many things can do that, and it's truly special when you run into something that can.
in the year 2019 we can thankfully say big boy is not something to only been seen in old footage, static displays, and books. 4014 is a operating, living, breathing piece of history. i would love to see it at steamtown if it's logistically possible.
#4014 was taken from Pomona California and brought rolling on its own wheels to the UP yard in Wyoming 5 years ago. It has been restored and rebuilt and is alive today!
it's gone into multiple unit setups with midtrains helper and rear end DPU's because even though it could pull a 5 and a half mile long train, it would have been an operational and mechanical nightmare to begin with just on how long it would take to charge the air in the braking system, you essentially wouldn't have any control of the train.
@ 2:04 "It had romantic aspects too" just as camera pans to piston and drive rods hammering away in hot cylinder. Just mechanical excellence and coincidence
@@locoluke4149 - The film broke just as he completed the sentence. This copy has a lot of breaks at the beginning. Pentrex released a near pristine version on DVD plus all the extra content filmed but not used on two more DVDs.

Lucky the boy who could see them in action. Lucky for all of us today because she was brought back. These videos were all I had then but now seeing it these videos though good are not indicative of how truly awesome the boy boy was...........is.
Thanks. Love the Big Boy. Got to see it in Cheyenne. Behind it is a shop where they are preparing another one for excursions. Should be ready 2017. Would love to ride that train.
all of the engines in the Steam Shop Fleet are featured in this film except 838, #844, and BIG BOY himself 4014. we have 5511, we have 1243, we have #3985, and we have 4002 all of them are or were in Cheyenne and stored in the roundhouse.
Who in the hell would not like this video ?? What a great display of steam power,and all the people who made it work !!! You 45 are not at all railfans !!! Maybe some cartoons would suite you better !!!
Very interesting video, it took more people to do a simple service of a steam loco than a diesel loco, so in the end it was economics that killed the steam.
i have these around me..and cass scenic railroad as well..they still use the old trains..its awesome..the other line is passenger wood cars as well..and takes tours all year long..they even do a hold up by jesse james ride..lol..and the spook train for halloween..lol..its fun too
13:46 Narrator: With Big Boy's Size, Two Stacks were needed, Hoods to deflect the smoke confirm it a clear view from the cab often were used by the Engineer.

I was one of the lucky boys. My aunt and uncle ran a truck stop across the Lincoln Highway from the UP mainline approach to Sherman Hill. I'd visit and sit out front waiting for the Big Boys and double headers getting up steam and speed for the grade ahead.
That wasn't the biggest train in history though... There was one more that beat even Big-Boy... The Union Pacific back in the very early 1960's(about 1961)had the G.E.turbines that were rated at 10,000 hp.a piece.(that's right,10,000 horsepower) The U.P.double headed these G.E.turbines pulling trains that were longer then 5.5 miles.The record still stands till this day.General Electric built the most powerful road engine in the world.

I struggled on learning many things but learning about the history of my nations railroads and there locomotives cars and machinery was something I was able to learn easily and still come back to relearn
Well, actually, it's the drawbar, which is well anchored... usually. Some freight cars have theirs cushioned by rubber. I remember some 20+ years ago an eastbound BNSF train on the Trinidad Loop in eastern Washington ripped the drawbar out of a freight car. They took what train they had to Quincy, tied it down, and took the engines back down to the remainder to "chain up" and try to get it up and out of the way.
+Mark Basaj Union Pacific are renovating Big Boy 4014. It was moved from its museum display to a workshop in early 2014. There are plenty of videos of the moving here on youtube. Check it out...
it is so hard to imagine the size of the engine, At the Ford museum in MI there was a 2662 mallet 72” drivers it was. C&O engine. I have not had the opportunity to see a BIGBOY but I hope some day I will.

I can agree it’s great to see trains like this still alive I saw 4014 in New Orleans and rn they are rebuilding 3985 to go back into service
I love these old commentators! So much better than todays!
your right actully theres just somthing about them that i like compared to new ones
so true

The turntable pull back shot is beautiful cinematography.
OMG, I haven't watched this video in years, I had it on VHS when I was little. This is one of my first memories when it comes to trains.
I wonder what the narrator of this film would think of 4014?

Steam locomotives in general were amazing. Mechanical nightmares to keep running. The Big Boys are basically to locomotives sharing a boiler.
I remember in the early 50s seeing these west of Cheyenne Wyoming struggling up the mountain KS from our car.
I remember when I had a copy of this on VHS
4:31 That is Locomotive #1243. I remember seeing a video of 3985 pulling her along with an auto rack train.
Right after is 5511, a rarely seen engine still in the Cheyenne roundhouse, plus many surviving big boys, 3985, and 9000
+Quasimoto7 4000s are big boys, 3900 is challenger, 9000 not sure what the nickname is
1243 resides in a museum in Omaha, Nebraska, today.
Who were those two people that watched the North American Union Pacific Railroad Big Boy steamer freight train go by from 0:58 to 1:23?
Wish there was a LOVE BUTTON as well 😍😍 love from india
Crazy seeing the train wheel spin while still moving

it was then donated to RRHMA for further restoration

Big Boy is my favorite steam engine.
The happy memory from childhood lives again. Long live 4014.

baffles me how the few bolts holding the couplings to the lead engine frame and the coupling itself can withstand the load of a 5 mile train ...
