Wyoming must’ve had a lot more human infrastructure in it back in 1940s when steam locomotives ruled, than it does today

That's what happens when you need less people to maintain the trains. When the need for those people to live there disappeared, the people left.

@@andrewboyd8073 Exactly. Same thing happened to railtowns like Altoona, PA and Cumberland, MD when diesels took over. I’ve been to both in person and am doing college in Altoona.

16:54 That’s got to be one of the best early recordings and clips of a Big Boy’s whistle going off. Not just by the sound, but the background. It really gives you the feeling that these monsters were the native machines of the state, a feeling the gives a chilling voice to those lands so empty, one that’ll often give you company for a few minutes filled with awe.

@Henriqueea that's an audio clip of 3985 wearing 4004's whistle that it has worn since its first restoration in 1981.

15:23, 21:33, and 21:44 showing footage of the UP 9000s in action, It’s great to see there is more rare footage of the UP 9000s I mean I’m sure there’s gonna be more out there

Would have been something to see all this steam in action in person, love it!! Sad that all of these magnificent machines were scrapped, but the 844 and 4014 live on. Still not the same as seeing so much steam on mainline operations

We also got Challengers 3985 and 3977, some of 844s sisters such as 833, the only 4-12-2 Union Pacific preserved, 9000, and the only 2-10-2 the Union Pacific ever preserved, 5511.

Union Pacific had an impressive variety of steam power during the steam era and these locomotives are shown in this film operating in both freight and passenger service . I am very satisfied that the Union Pacific rr has preserved a fair amount of their historic steam locomotives for display viewing as a tribute to the steam era from many decades ago.

Hard to express how much, I miss steam!! Im sure we all know why Diesel replaced steam but... Its kinda like trading a sleek '61 Corvette convertible for a plain Jane Chevy station wagon. There was a great need for the utility but a wagon has no beauty and lacks soul. Thanks guys for all of the time you took out of your lives to record this great footage. And thanks for all of the "cabeese". (I just cant bring myself to say cabooses.) Rewatching: .24:21 Im reasonably sure thats Big Boy 4014 in its youth.

So surely someone has counted how many times this film showed 3985, 4014, and 844? Awesome footage. Such a shame steam reached it pinnacle right before it's shortened life. Perhaps with another decade of steam being the only motive power, new materials and technology would of helped to keep it around but we know now why all that changed.

I went ahead and got this on DVD. Decent footage but MAN this guy's narration is *DRY* and boring to listen to. It doesn't even sound like he's really "talking" but more like he's reading cue cards in like one take.
