  • Here is a video with all of the times so far I have caught #4014 blowing it's whistle. Locations include Tie Siding, Wyoming, Granite Wyoming, and West Chicago, Illinois. UP did a great job restoring the Big Boy, and have an actual big boy Whistle for the locomotive. The 4014 attracted huge crowds on its journey across the United States as thousands came out to see the locomotives first run in 60 years.

      just because they both make noise, they are still not the same. a train horn is blown by using a button, as a whistle compresses air and is blown by pulling a chain or chord

    It's one thing to hear her on video,its another to hear her sing in person. Drove from Lincoln to Omaha last year while it was there over night during the tour and then drove to Fremont to see it in person. 20 minutes late, but still it was worth the wait to hear her coming through.

    My mom used to tell me she would lay under the blankets when she was little and listen to the steam trains bellowing late at night, far away through the bush in Northern Ontario. She said it was so (almost) ghostly as the sound would die down further and further, the engine cruising off into the distance. She would become wistful as the memory of it came across her face, as though wishing she could return to those simpler days. She is long gone from this world but the memories of her remain so vivid. I miss my mom. God bless everyone and an early Merry Christmas to all.
