Yes it is amazing Steve & I dont know how much longer it will last , continue to tour, so Im going to see it any time it is near! My daughter Jasmine lives there in Durant so I got to see her too, win win! Thanks for watching Steve have a great day!
This was great John, I've seen the big boy a few times here in CA but being assisted by a newer engine. Maybe because it lacks catalytic converter 🤣 no but seriously 😐 I'm sure it had something to do with the emissions. It was running bit not throttled up 🤷♂️ I'm hoping to see it again once it comes back to California. Thanks for the video John and the DJI looks pretty good 👍
Thanks Jeff! It is something to see and i believe it won’t be around too much longer so i go see it when i can! I think the extra engine is for getting over the high passes in the hills and mountains bc in its hey day it could pull 5 miles of cars! But you mentioned emissions and i think that when it goes faster and harder like up the passes, it is capable of doing it but it would indeed emit more smoke n stuff. But that extra engine does give it an extra boost, after all, it is quite old haha.
Very Cool John! We saw Big Boy back in 2019 on the first tour. What a fantastic experience!

The extra engine is for braking. Last year this big boy pushed a stalled train up a pass. I know about that because of TH-cam.
It’s that strong.
