4014 is probably my favourite articulated locomotive in existence

3985 next?

Incredible photo slideshow of an incredible steam locomotive, I am glad that I was able to witness a UP "big boy" class locomotive be rebuilt/ returned to service within my lifetime.

Imagine how those who took those photos of 4014 in the 1940s and 1950s, and were saddened to see 4014 pull its last train before it was retired thinking they would never see this beast running again, would feel if they could see or go into the future and witness 4014 resurrected from the dead to steam and whistle across the rails again? For me this is like the train buff's real time Jurassic Park, but with old time trains instead of dinosaurs being brought back to life.

Excellent! What do you think you will do next

That silver paintjob on the boiler looks amazing tbh

Awww her baby photos!

Build in 1941 by ALCO in Schenectady, New York.

#4014

In 0:21 He thinks he can pull this long cargo

Do 3751

3985 and 4014 are far more superior than 1218 and 2156.
