Saw Big Boy on the First Tour as he came through Benson Arizona. I’ll never forget it.

The fact you can still hear 4014s steam whistle while the train was that far down track and all that IM freight going by is simply just testament to how loud that whistle and engine is in general.

Very true! I try to always have ear plugs in when I chase it. Sometimes I forget, and regret it!

I was able to see this magnificent engine come through northeast Oklahoma, truly a massive Machine, and an engineering masterpiece, and this one Was built with slide rules not computers and Auto Cad...

I'd love to see her just once 😊

@judefernandez827 10 ай бұрын

I love Big Boy and it’s such a majestic locomotive . What disappoints me is she’s running on oil and not coal . Having grown up in India where my Dad served on the Southern Railway first on steam and then electric traction nothing beats a coal fired loco and to see that mighty firebox lying idle beats me . Why was she converted to oil power ? Cheers and thank you from Australia .

You would not understand this bunny in the United States our presidents stopped us from digging coal it's no longer accessible

@michelziegler67600 11 ай бұрын

Avec 1 train si léger, la loco Diesel pourrait circuler en véhicule et épargner du fuel; 2 + qu'elle serve de réserve en cas de pépin, OK.

Does thw big boy has hollow axles? At 4:27 it looks so😮

Freaken awesome! Green Engines!! 🥰🥰🥰🥰 (8:19) I am not sure: how is the oil flowing on the crank arm; too the bearing. ((flex hose))?? = Likely should be a 2 way - grease zerk, at junction, would be the pressure test valve, no??? 😎🥲😅Oh, no! (28:18) I guess you using the drain plugs, to install the big oil pumper. 🤠🤠🥹😱😱🥵🥵🥵🥵😳Yea, right, someone stole the catalytic converter! 😳🤪

@fryloc359 10 ай бұрын

The diesel engine is there to provide electric power to the coaches, communications to the dispatchers, and also serves as backup in case of steam engine failure. Rail transportation in the US is generally on a strict schedule, and delays would cost the railroad and the companies they serve a lot of money.

@bobbrinkerhoff3592 11 ай бұрын

Why did they have both the Big Boy and the diesel blowing their horns coming into town ? First time I've seen that .

@railgraphix 11 ай бұрын

I am bot sure. I will have to remember to ask Ed when I see him next.

@randomsanwhich2 10 ай бұрын

So, I'm guessing it's running with 3 tenders, one oil and two water tenders?

@railgraphix 9 ай бұрын

The yellow are water tenders

駆動輪軸のグリスアップで内部溝全体に充填できているのだろうか、荷重のかかる軸受けがグリース注入溝を狭くしていなければ良いのだが・・・

@jerrykautz6572 10 ай бұрын

How often do they have to water that thing up? Used to be every 10 miles. Does anyone know?

@railgraphix 10 ай бұрын

From what I have seen from chasing at night they fill it up.

MAN !!! This just makes you wonder what it was like back in the '40's and early '50's when you're out in the "Badlands" of Wyoming, Utah, CO, or wherever. You're in the middle of nowhere at a random "Poage" water column...the wind is howling...you're the Fireman, so you get on the ground in 9 degree blowing COLD so you can put the Alimite Guns to work. Oh! and did I mention you having to take a SERIOUS "dump" just before you stepped off the engine? It's just you right? Hey !!! Pay attention to your tender...It's just starting to overflow... CRAP!!! This ladies and Gentlemen the above is just a "slight delve" of what these guy's went trough while on the road and what you're watching here, is a "Normal" day to day operation in Pleasentville, USA...think twice O.K.?

I think they should paint the diesels BLACK- and fix them to look like coal tenders or something... AND NOT blow the diesel horn-- that ruins the effect..

@railgraphix 9 ай бұрын

It was odd the diesel horn was blowing. It didn’t do that the whole time I chased.

@davidwayne9982 9 ай бұрын

@@railgraphix Of course there could have been a problem- but they really shouldn't use that while hooked to steam..
