The engineering, design and construction of these monster engines never ceases to amaze me. The drivetrain is just so amazing to watch
-
Pinnacle of American ingenuity! The Big Boy can pull at least the same as 4 diesels and do the same job with class. It looks and sounds alive; how could you not love it! Bless the 4014!
-
Young ot old you can still watch it beginning to end thank you union pacific 🙏!!!
-
I never would've believed, that I would see a BigBoy operate during my generation. JUST INCREDIBLE!
-
FYI: Big Boy has now logged more miles than it did all the previous years it ran. And although Big Boy had a top speed of 80 mph, the Legend 844 had a top speed of 120 mph! Pretty impressive for the size of the trains!

A result of the war effort, a country that came together in a time of need. The 'greatest generation'.

This video has the vibe of the vhs tapes your teacher would put on, yet it was made 2 weeks ago! just needs a little PBS bumper before the intro lol
-
Absolutely a truly incredible video to see the Union Pacific Big Boy 4014 alive and well is truly amazing and also learning the history of 844 who has never been out of service since the day she was built is another incredible piece of History thanks to everybody who had something to do with the rebuilding and the creation of this video thank you very much from the bottom of my heart incredible video footage❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

I love the Union Pacific Big Boys, when I first saw the Big Boy No. 4014 he is the bestest and coolest Locomotive in the world! Long live the Last of the Giants!
-
I got to see 4014 myself just months after this filmed. Sure was a great day. Even got to talk with Ed Dickens who answered my question on 844 and signed my 4014 hat.

Union Pacific 4014 is a great interesting locomotive that he draws crowds where every the true king of the railroad he is a majestic beast and he is capable of pulling a 650 car freight train and he is one of the most famous locomotives ever invented by man
-
Big Boys will always be king of the rails and steam!
-
I can't believe I fell asleep to one video, slept straight through another and continued through this
-
Big Boy doesn't whistle. He ROARS.
-
Used to look at 4014 sitting in Pamona wondering if it was just going to rot away
-
Let's all just appreciate the dedication, time, and money this dude put in to capturing all this footage 🙏🏾

I knew they were BIG, but you can't feel it till you see it for real. First time I saw it, I felt it first. The ground was shaking as soon as it pulled out of the station in Cheyenne. I was down near the C&S overpass. Just chills and goose bumps when Ed let go on the whistle for the upcoming crossing.
-
4014's 1st run as an oil burner. He borrows 3985's tender for few trips.
-
I always love Disney’s and Disney’s Pixar’s and Disney Junior, Disney Channel, Disney XD and Disney+.
-
The steam event of the century. The hype during this was so real.
