I just can't get enough of these videos of the BigBoy!

He stops traffic at RR crossings.. He stops traffic on over passes.. He stops traffic everywhere he goes.

Absolutely loved hearing the echo of the beast's whistle! !!!

I'm probably on my hundredth Big Boy KZfaq video, saw it in person when it came to my town a few months ago, gotta tell ya it never gets old watching it. :)

Big boys clanking at low speeds is one of the best sounds imo

I love the mournful sound of the whistle and the majestic roar of the engine

Breath taking locomotive.

I went to see it, in Palestine tx, and omg the horn was amazing, I didn't just hear it, I felt it, first time ever seeing/hearing a steam engine in real life, oh so amazing, love the shots you got, good work

I fondly remember, as a young child, being in the small town of Ramsay, Ontario. My grandfather was station master. Watching those huge CN steam locomotives roar by was amazing.

Incredible sound! At 18:15 you can hear the steam injector starting up and swoosh of hot water into the boiler. Awesome video!👍👍

Nicely done. Good Big Boy video and audio, nicely framed. Thumbs up!

How can you watch this and not smile? Love the Bush 41 paint job on one of the cars!

The close-up at 19:33 was awesome!!

You can even hear Scotty Kilmer yelling "Rev up your engines!" In the distance.

Very enjoyable to see big boy 4014 in operation through the state of Texas.

This baby has a big fan club

Great video. My son took his boys to see it in Palestine and they loved it. I got the opportunity to see it in Colorado as it headed back home to Cheyenne. I also got to see 4004 in Holliday park where it's been since 1963.

An excellent production, Aaron! I really liked your choice of scenic locations and camera work. Sound quality too.

Some Great video shorts you provided. THANKS! Viewed it as it came into Longview and short stop over at station. Drove towards Hallsville, found a great spot and watched it continue to travel east on hwy 80 to stop over in Marshall. Truly an Awesome sight to behold and to feel the ground underneath you vibrate.

Nearly 13,000 views, no dislikes. Beautiful!

I often wished that this Big Boy and the Challenger would come East so we could "drink them in"

Great job as always Aaron!

4141 will be missed. Thanks for your service and enjoy your new life at the Bush Library and Museum!

these locomotives are literally celebrities everywhere they go. people stop to take it in

really enjoyed watching this big beautiful loco, thank you for the video. i have to let you know at the beginning about 15 secs. in you had text pop up showing the loco number but it was showed as 4041 instead of 4014. once again, thx for the great footage.

I love how this train sounds at slow speeds. It just glides along.

Big boy ,represents the spirit and the soul of our freedom ,& greatness of America!!! 👍🇺🇲🇺🇲

6:00 Wow, that’s some great stack talk right there.

I'm very jealous of that helicopter pilot: getting to watch this amazing train while getting to fly on a beautiful day. Best of every conceivable world. :D

Schöne Bilder, toller Sound. Danke...Thank you...from the Country of BR 01.

Great video, especially very nice angles! Thank you

Excelente Video ..Excelente Maquina

The original hybrid fuel vehicles are still being made and operated today. Tornado is a steam locomotive completed in 2008 that is actively being used in the UK rails today. It is very unlikely that Tornado will be the last steamer made. People love the strength, look, and romance of these amazing machines. There are several being restored in UK, United States of America, and India, that I am aware.

Super good video Aaron with the Big Boy :)

wonderful mark around Steamtown , Scranton , Pennsylvania beautiful pieces of some of the machines that helped to build our great country, god bless us all, and 4 having the privilege of being born in the in the greatest nation in the history of the world, NUFF SAID

Fantastic...……….

AWESOME...

beautiful

Somebody went to a lot of trouble to put this video together. I Thank You !

Hey I think you were the person I was talking to in Palestine. Do you have a Canon Rebel?

0:00 whoa, right off the bat my ears were happy X) Raw American Power XD 21:45 jesus, i often forget how enormous 4014 really is and... green light, but everyone is still stopped, thats how much magic these monstrous machines have over us lol

I am in Love ♥️‼️

Nice

Schöner Film über eine tolle Maschine, ich bin begeistert!

Does anyone know about what looks like a periodic steam discharge below 4014's cab, on the engineer's side? I'm guessing it's a slow bottom-blowdown, discharging minerals accumulating in the boiler water as steam is boiled off. That beast boils off a lot of feed-water.

I wish I had known this was happening as I live decently close to Houston. I hope I can see this thing someday. Also, I find it crazy how at 15:36 there's a guy who climbed the signal mast.

What is the loco pulling? Freight and passengers?

Big Boy #4014 looks happy chugging along and tooting he's whistle blow! Lol 👍

Finally got around to watching this video! Nice video but also great sound quality. When I turned up the volume it was almost like Big Boy was in my room! Did Union Pacific do anything in conjunction with the Texas State Railroad, since they were in Palestine? It would have been awesome to see Big Boy parked next to their engines. LOL at the 11 foot 2 inch bridge. I wonder if tall vehicles constantly crash into it, like the 11 foot 8 bridge on that KZfaq channel. Either way, it must be really solid construction to hold the Big Boy!

“UP 4014, Texas Bound and Flyin’!”

At some points the front and back driving sets seem like they're alternating (coupling rod is high on the front driving wheels, low on the back). Other times, they seem nearly synchronized. Is the steam pressure regulated independently in each cylinder pair to control that phenomenon? Or is that a result of wheel slip?

Thank you for that reply Clinton

18:04 i was at that location too! I was recording with a canon camcorder. we were the ones who put a phone really close to the tracks, I don’t know if you saw

Just awesome! Was the 4014 always an oil burner or after it was restored? ✌️🇦🇺

Very nice and very big! Was there a system for feeding the huge boiler length with coal?

Any body doing the whistle as a commercial ringtone to download??

just imagine this bad boy has seen it all from horse and carriage times to modern. its like a rolling time capsule

will it ever go through San Antonio?

They need to bring 4014 here to Charlotte NC!!!

Bis wann uhren die Big boys dort. Gibt es da heute noch welche?

What is the Carbon footprint of this thing?

Que belleza Que belleza dios mio. Que lindo

I never get tired of seeing this beast in motion. Q: Why is UP always running it with a diesel unit (at minimum)? Surely it would have no probs pulling these passenger cars. Reliability risk on passenger excursions? Edit: Answered in another vid. Provides electric to coaches and dynamic braking.

Are the pistons front and back in time, or are they asynchronous ?

Big Boy looks like a forest fire on the background of the forest

Yes, now oil fired but before then was there an automatic coal feeder?

I’ve asked around but never got an answer; What is the purpose of the GE diesel electric behind the tenders? Does it actually assist to accelerate the load with its superior AC traction-control? Assist with braking with its dynamics? Does it function as an APU to run the fuel pumps to feed the fire box?

I would like to see it in Archer Hill pulling 143 freight wagons like his brother UP 3985.

Чудо - локомотив!!!!

I wonder how much of the pushing/pulling the other engine is doing? You can hear that other engine's engine really whining

Question from Australia: Does 4014 ever haul a train anywhere without having a diesel locomotive in the consist?

The biggest steam locomotive

Can't believe nobody noticed the text @20 seconds...lists the locomotive as Big Boy 4041...Its 4014

Wonder why they always have a Diesel in the consist with the Big Boy? It seems the Challenger (3985) and the 844 almost never did? Don't say it's to provide electricity to the coaches, because I believe there's a "power car" in the consist for that purpose...right? Can the 4014 not pull a train by itself??🤔

I see the diesel electric. Is that the one that carried President Bush to College Station?

Or goddess in this sense😋

Men use to build amazing machines before the drugs killed their minds

I wonder why 4141 was pulled from the train.

You've got to paint those yellow tenders black.

There must be so much stress on the drive wheels when going over a turn

British people be like "Can I get a bao oh wo a" 😂

The 22 dislikes are tree hugging hippies who think X4014 still burns coal

Be cool if Big Boy would do an excursion of TSR

Do those train cars have passengers or is this all a big publicity stunt?

I wish the SPLCO 28 or TSRR 30 went down there for a photo op

If that's galloping, I think I would be asleep if it was cantering ! If you want to see some impressive stuff, look at some of the preserved British steam eg. 35028 "Clan Line" or 46201 "Princess Elizabeth"

I wish it would have come to Louisiana

Look at all that smoke. Al Gore must be spinning in his grave.🤣

At 0:20 I think you got 4141 and 4014 mixed up and it makes 4041

0:19 "Union Pacific Big Boy > 4041

I would like for BigBoy to go through Britain. Start at Scotland and end in southern England. Show them what a real train looks and sounds like. Their trains sound like fairy farts.

0:19 I thought it was 4014

George bush is riding with the gods of the railroad

First I want to congratulate the steam team for performing an excellent job on restoring this locomotive to arrive in time for the centennial celebrations. Second I, along with others do not understand the specific circumstances invoved with getting this locomotive running. However if the Union Pacific wanted to execute an effective promotional campaign then they would not in the future include a diesel locomotive in the consist. After all these locomotives were designed and built specifically to haul heavy World War II tonnage . I understand the caution at first but after proof has been proven , then let the product speak for itself. This is after all the ultimate in steam locomotive design and construction.

Well gee you skipped Troup all together

Junk the 4141 is doing all the work all show and no go
