Big boy is a beast. You owe it to yourself and your family to see this amazing locomotive. Make plans to build a memory. Your kids or grandkids will never forget.
Sorry to hear that you're under the weather, hope you get better soon. Myself and about 15 other people found this spot. I heard that Burleson was swamped with people and the restaurants were full. Thank you John.
I had seen for decades on display at the LA county fairgrounds when we went to the drag races. This was the first time seeing it under power. Thank you Derek.
Hint - If you are going to video the train and you want to capture the sound of a locomotive stay away from any crossing by at least half a mile. Near a crossing all you'll hear is his horn or bell.
We lived in El Cerrito, CA in the early 40's, and the Santa Fe train tracks ran just behind the homes across the street. During the war there were long trains of military equipment, and later on hospital trsind with large red crosses on the sides of the hospital cars. The service men near the windows would wave to us as the trains passed.
My wife and I saw it in 2019, unfortunately it was broke down in Casa Grande Az, and was not able to pull on its own power, it was being pushed, still a work of engineering, and massive, actually got to view it for quite awhile, so maybe it wasn’t totally disappointing 😁
Too bad it wasn’t under it’s own power. I saw it on display for decades at LA County fairgrounds. This was my first time seeing it running. Thank you Dale.
He was setup to video, but I guess decided to do pictures and the wife was going to video. He got the pictures he wanted, but her phone over heated and she didn't get anything so I sent her a copy. Thank you Hemi5.7.
@@grandparails8858 Many times people who are taking pictures lose their perspective of where they are and how close to the tracks they are. Many people don't understand that a train is wider than the tracks. No picture is worth a life or an injury. And think of the engine crew who have to watch all this going on and being unable to respond effectively if someone is being careless.
Saw it with my Grandson, PARKED at Fort Worth, Tx, D.A.R.T., STATION. Size, Impressive! But would rather, have seen it Roaring Past! P.S.: they had, NO, info fliers, for the kids! Somebody, in U.P. P.R. Dept, must'a been Asleep, O.T.J.!
Cool you got to see it. Too bad they didn't think to have fliers. I used to see it when it was parked at the LA county fairgrounds in Ca. This my first time seeing it run. Thank you Dennis.
ummmmm.... I gather from the video this was NOT a 4014 Fan Stop dot. The mule in the back is screaming over the sound of the whistle "ARE YOU NOT ENTERTAINED??!!!" I might try leaving the big city to see a Big Boy move with that much momentum. 4014 never seems to get a full head of "steam" around me.... ya see what I did there? eh? Great video. I have to watch again, already mashed Like.
The mule was an added bonus, we laughed about it afterwards. This was my first time seeing it under power. I saw it when I went to the drag races for decades at the LA county fairgrounds in Pomona, Ca. it was on display as part of the transportation museum. Thank you Aaron.
@@grandparails8858 You bet. Keep those videos coming. Hey, don't forget - some programs let you export stills from a video. Pick your best frame (or 6) and order (or print) a 22x19, 19x13 - something BIG, and ask the print shop to enhance highlights/shadows/sharpness, and request color correction. Then, frame it, and throw it on your wall for the holiday. Nice conversation piece if you are hosting holiday festivities this year. I've made several prints from video stills and Adobe Lightroom. I hardly ever shoot stills anymore unless I really want control over the result.
There was a time in America during the late 1940's when everyone in town would stop what they were doing and go down to the depot to watch the first stream line diesel come down the tracks. It see we have come full circle. Johnny Cash recorded a song about it. Google Texas 1947 and listen. I would love to read your comments.
I want to thank Union Pacific, Big Boy 4014 and most of all my viewers for making this my most watched video ever!
I’m not a train nut but this is a magnificent machine! The smell, feel, sound of it whistling by must be fantastic!
I had seen on display for many years at the LA county fairgrounds in Pomona, Ca. It was great to see it running. Thank you Jim.
Great catch and nice video jd
Thank you Westley.
I'm loving the fact that someone has trained a donkey to act as an alert for the train's imminent arrival👍
😂
That donkey was funny. He may been trained for that because he did it when the freights came through. Thank you Bad bus Driver.
Awesome catch JD, definitely a once in a lifetime type a thing. That donkey in the background made me laugh 😂. Thanks for sharing 👍🏼🇺🇸😎
That donkey was funny he did that when a freight passed before the 4014 came too. Thank you Eddie.
I don't remember seeing a donkey in the video.
@@engineerisaiahtube8787listen around the :59 seconds mark
I don't get it. ???
@@engineerisaiahtube8787 you can't see it, you can only hear it before the train get there.
Very nice, thanks JD. Have a good week.
Thank you Ron.
01:38 mannnnnn that sounded so smooth despite its enormous weight!
I'm guessing he was going 60mph. It was great to see. Thank you JTG.
Once in a lifetime experience.

That's the most beautiful stea. Locomotive I have ever seen!
@@kathleenevans1201 I’m glad you enjoyed the video. Thank you Kathleen.
Good catch JD
Thank you Joe.
Awesome catch. It’s really impressive in person, I’m guessing. The track and rail looks pretty rough there.
I had seen for decades on display at the LA county fairgrounds when we went to the drag races. This was the first time seeing it under power. Thank you Derek.
Great Catch , Its no always easy when you only have 1 chance live . Congrats
Greg, I scouted this spot for a couple of weeks and thought nobody would go to a remote spot. There were about 20 people. Thank you Greg.
Just great videos thanks 😊
@@larryburton9369 glad you enjoyed them. Thank you Larry.
Wow Team.
Quite the family fan club out there.
Very cool!
There were about 20 people that showed up at this spot. Thank you Mon.
wow JD that's really cool
Thank you Todd.
I saw this train back on August 14, 2021 at Fort Worth, Texas.
This was my first time seeing it running. I saw it on display at the LA county fairgrounds in Ca. Thank you Isaiah.
How did you know my name?, I don't even know you at all.
@@engineerisaiahtube8787 it’s in your channel name.
Oh!, that makes sense now.
Such a beautiful train, wonder if you can book a trip on it??
It sure is. I’m not sure, but you could check with Union Pacific. Than you Fleet Win.

That must have been something to see. Thank you Richard.
Great catch, I was able to change it from Portola to Roseville
It was good seeing it running after seeing it for years in Pomona. Thank you Gary.

I’m glad you enjoyed it. Thank you pcorf.
DOPE IN ORANGE SHIRT HAD ALL DAY TO GET HIS CAMERA READY , BUT NO WAIT TO TRAINS HERE TO FUMBLE WITH CAMERA
It proves the railfan saying 'The perfect picture can only be achieved from the other side of the tracks, and then only at the last minute'
very true but then the camera messes up and you miss the shot. thank you WBDE.
He was setup to video, but I guess decided to do pictures and the wife was going to video. He got the pictures he wanted, but her phone over heated and she didn't get anything so I sent her a copy. Thank you Hemi5.7.

That's *MR* DOPE to you! And Grandpa, do you know how to get the caps lock off?
great shot John!
Thank you John.
LOVE TO SEE THE BIG BOY STEAM ENGINE 4014 IN WASHINGTON STATE. IN EASTERN WASHINGTON STATE. ❤❤❤
Thank you Steven.
I think they Only Used, U.P. AFFILIATED Trackage, this tour !
Wow 😮 how awesome is that ❤
This is the first time seeing it run. I saw it for decades when it was on display at the LA County fairgrounds every time we went to the drag races.
@@grandparails8858 it's amazing, and a beautiful consist trailing it, 👍

This train will stop in Tucumcari.
Not on this tour.

I definitely agree that we have come full circle. That is a great song, it describes railfanning to a tee. Thank you Bill.
😮😮 awesome catch and she is hauling ass she could of slow down for you a little 😊
I figure about 60mph
