Another original steam engine song by Nebraska 66. This one is about Union Pacific’s venerable Big Boy steam locomotive. In particular, the song focuses on UP’s newly operational Big Boy 4014. As many of you know, Big Boy 4014 has created quite a stir these last few years in light of her full restoration and return to operation. The song serves up healthy servings of Big Boy history topped off with generous portions of steam era nostalgia. We like to think listening to the song will be about as close as you can get to riding in Big Boy herself as she rolls up the Wasatch Mountain Range but you’ll have to be the judge. Enjoy!

Lyrics:
“Roll On Big Boy”
By Nebraska 66
© 2021 Phil Brey (All Rights Reserved)
Verse 1:
A legend from the past,
Is born again at last,
To rumble over mountains and the plains
From the golden age of steam,
An engine seldom seen,
By those who never lived in bygone days
Verse 2:
Big Boy was her name,
And went on to railroad fame,
As the largest engine on the UP line
The last of all her class,
She survives from out the past,
To show the power of steam in modern times
Chorus:
Roll on Big Boy, Roll on Big Boy, Rumblin’ across the northern plains,
Roll on Big Boy, Roll on Big Boy, Climbing up the Wasatch mountain range
Verse 3
In 1959,
They took her off the line,
And wrote her off as progress for the times
No dry eye could be found,
In jungles or in towns,
Where once Big Boy had rolled when in her prime
Verse 4
From the junkyards of the past,
4014 is the last,
To carry on the legacy of steam
At 4, 8, 8 and 4,
And a part of railroad lore,
She roars from out the past like some lost dream
Chorus (different from 1st chorus)
Roll on Big Boy, Roll on Big Boy, Rumblin’ across the northern plains,
Roll on Big Boy, Roll on Big Boy, Climbing up the Wasatch mountain range
Roll on, Big Boy Roll On
Roll On, Big Boy Roll On
Spoken:
Roll on, Big Boy, Roll On

Honestly the few steam engines running today are not hurting a thing. Except those who think it they can stand infront of a 123 ton and more and expect her to stop on a dime, even Rubber can't hold you to the road with that horse power.

The fact the UP managed to get a big boy running again, a feat no railfan ever thought would be possible and put her on tour, is incredible, the Big Boys are the biggest steam locomotives ever built and 4014 is the most powerful operating steam locomotive in the world, and I'm proud that the U.S and the Union Pacific can lay claim to that title.

Ok, not to be WELL ACHTULEE, but the C&O Allegheny has the largest boiler of any steam locomotive, which trchnically makes her bigger. But Big Boy beats her in literally every other way, so understandably Big Boy is more popular, and since she can pull more and she has more wheels, she's in steam, etc

@@wills_corner Virginian 2-10-10-2 AE class built by Alco in the mid 19 teens had the largest boiler of any locomotive in the world 10 ft diameter, as well as the most tractive effort at 176,600 lbs and largest cylinders at 48 inches diameter. The locomotive weighed less than either Big Boy or Allegheny at 684,000 lbs without tender.(778,000 lbs no tender Allegheny, 772,000 lbs no tender Big Boy. AE Class was the strongest successful steam locomotive ever built. Triplexes can claim higher T.E. , but never were successful. Alco built the AE class, as well as the Big Boy. Lima , Ohio built the Allegheny. Steam locomotives are still relevant today, as they have direct mechanical drive unlike complicated diesel electrics. The oil mafia and car barons are to blame for the steam locomotive's demise. Steam has a wider variety of useable fuels than does diesel or internal combustion. Steam also can overcome past inefficiencies with modern updated gas fireboxes, condensing tender apparatuses, etc. Argentina De Porta designed a 2-12-12-0 that almost came into existence, during the 70s oil crises. Steam with its direct drive is nothing whimsical of the past. It is relevant and superior. My dream is to see car centricism completely destroyed in North America and status symbol diesel pickups melted at the smelter and use the material to build new steam locomotives. The engines of the past were built to last. Let's blast the car centric idiocy fast. Trains rule. These great locomotives arent just a spectacle tourist attraction. They are serious machines built for serious heavy work. The anger I have for seeing them have short lives is indescribable. My hatred of modern society is unfathomable. Steam will return with avengance. I am the embodiment of psycho steam. Steam never dies. Cast Iron torque will revenge. I have an immense hatred for car centricism, cars and trucks, car culture, airplanes and disgustingly built American car centric cities. I hate airplanes too. Ships, trains, bicycles are the only transportation needed .Cars and trucks are pests to be eliminated. Air travel, especially overseas, although faster than ships is like a sardine can hurled at high speeds in a completely uncivilized manner. Highway travel is deadly. The whistle of these great articulated restored locomotives is a calling back to sanity in an insane world. Heed the call. Let's build steam locomotives once again and forever. Calling all blacksmiths, and engineers. Make a a better world. There is a reason people stop and marvel at steam locomotives and ignore diesels and cars and planes. There is something spiritual about steam locomotives. Water is the essence of life.

Thought of your song again while I was watching 4014 push that 10,000 foot freight train that stalled in Nebraska on June 29th. Big Boy is showing she's still got it and is still a force to reckoned with to this day with how much power she has 💪

Nebraska 66, you deserve the million views and more. The big boy will live with us forever and even longer with this song. We can’t wait for your 844 Living Legend song! I already listen like 500 times a day. We will continue to hail to the big boy and UP for being able to get a big boy in the track again. Let’s hope for the challenger to come back. And we will continue to roll on we hope you do too. We love you and your songs. Maybe a song suggestion for the Challenger 3895?

I was actually in the studio this afternoon working on our Living Legend 844 mix. We can’t wait to release it! Probably still be some time before its release as we have to record additional tracks and do the mixing. I will pass the word on to my dad (who writes our songs) about a Challenger locomotive song. It certainly deserves its own song! Thanks again so much for your support. We love you too! Roll on!🎸🎶🎵🎸🎼🎸
