Wunderschöne Aufnahmen 👍👍🇩🇪
Sehr schön anzusehen und auch noch anzuhören 👂👂🙏🫶😇🚂🇩🇪
Sounds and looks like there is a diesel running in the middle machine shop car ( you can hear it, can see the fuel tanks, and can see what looks to be a radiator cut out ). What is this for ? Why have an engine in this work car ?
Nice stuff, really neat shot through the two derailed locos!
Good catch Colby
I can't see this many freight trains in my country.
I know it has been a while, but what is that black and green loco in the background, top right?
A former Burlington Northern GP39-2
The cab looks kinda like a gevo from the side.
That's was a awsome day expect you amd humidity XD
Awesome
Thanh you very much
T
Nice to see modern video for a rail legend.
Excellent big train
Why does 4014’s whistle sound different, louder, Then a few years ago? Was it replaced?
@@redlight722 As far as I’m aware, it’s had the same whistle since it’s been put back into operation, which is a Hancock Long Bell 3 chime.
If I recall correctly it’s a slightly different whistle than when it first ran in 2019. The 844 was in possession of the original whistle for 4014 from before restoration (not entirely sure how true that is), but they swapped it back to being on 4014 in 2022 once they started the overhaul for 844.
First scene is old footage.
Amazing footage! That's actually the first time I've seen 4014's smoke deflector hoods in operation since it returned to service in 2019. I've seen footage of them on Big Boys from the steam era, but didn't know if they were still being used. Look pretty useful for tunnel situations and other stuff!
Nice to see the caboose bringing up the rear. Anything revenue making goods in those freight cars?
4:02 Good catch of Big Boy 4014 coming out of the tunnel with Stack hoods!
Great to see the Big Boy back on the main line this year!
awesome chase 👍
Love that rare shot of the collapsible smoke hood in use at 4:02. I'd seen it in only one other video of 4014. Edit: Only one other video at the time I posted this comment.
Does Union Pacific 4014 Needs a Diesel Helper for a Moment for this video.
the diesel is there for PTC only. 4014 can pull ALOT more than that.
@@bov634they put in ptc on the train itself so now it doesnt need a diesel engine at all!
Great shots you got there
Great catches awesome chase and nice video
Great catches awesome chase and capture and nice video
Is it going to go the entire tour without a diesel?
@@TrainFanFromCA I’d assume so
Most likely, considering it has a much smaller consist than usual
The ONLY reason a Diesel was in the consist was for PTC. It is a Requirement that all Trains have PTC and until very recently the 4014 didn't have it. It has since been retrofitted with PTC and no longer requires a Diesel. The additional hoppers and box cars are there for braking assistance to keep the wear off the 4014 brakes which are much more expensive to replace.
Realistically they might put helpers on for at least part of the Eastbound leg for dynamic braking over Donner Pass from Roseville to Sparks. For this part of the tour she's heading west over the Feather River Canyon with a 1% ruling grade. Donner's 2.4% descending grades are no joke and sometime on this tour she's supposedly hauling coaches. For safety's sake I wouldn't be surprised if they added helpers at least for that leg. Unless they use retainers between Norden and Truckee like SP did in the steam era.
@@chrisgill7824a diesel may still be added later. But this is a great change regardless.
I think Union Pacific has watched Starlight Express and have learned their lesson: "Soon the pistons will be humming, steam will have a second coming!" Have I mentioned that nobody can do it like a steam train? That is also what UP seems to have learned.
That a UP 3083 SD70ACe-T4
Could I use some of the footage? It's been DECKADES since we saw this guy without a Diesel.
looking for wheel slip
The diesel engine was used for dynamic braking and positive train control. They now have figured out how to put ptc on the steam engine.
I doubt the diesel is an assistant. This steamer burns 35 you fuel and uses perhaps 300 gallons of water per mile . A good fire and mucho power. The diesel is there for a breakdown if it happens to get the train off the main line, eh?
I thought big boy only needed helpers to supply electricity to power the coaches and maybe some dynamic breaking
No there is a passenger car that has a generator up owns
Just repeating history from 3985 pulling 143 cars…
15 hoppers, piece of cake for a Big Boy
Can actually hear it truly working for the first time. 🙌🔥
TOTALLY AWESOME LOCOMOTIVE!
For the first time since 1959 a big boy makes a trip over Sherman Hill on its own without diesels I think the King will be quite capable of pulling a passenger car as they were designed to haul freight trains on this line
Oh, I think that engine could pull a passenger car.
What a magnificent machine. I wonder what qualifications an engineer needed to be assigned a Big Boy back in the day.
Seniority; a lot of years on the job and tons of experience!
Loose coupling rods
Our Big Boy has problems running without the diesel, delivering all that EV fuel...
esos trastos son hoy basura
UP 4014 had breaks in 1941 and pulled way more than 14 cars😂. UP has shamed every engineer & fireman who ever took this beast on back in the day. Drop the diesel! Not needed
1. It takes a lot of time money and effort to replace brake shoes and it sure as shit isn’t a rare occurrence of you’re using them every time you’re out. 2. The 14 cars are there for breaking power, not to test her power. And 3. I’m sure a lot of the “shamed engineers and firemen” can agree that custom brake shoes are too much work to replace in the modern day and I bet a lot of them are just glad that a big boy can still run. Guess your parents didn’t teach you how to be grateful for what you have.
@@BMMEC6000thank you for saving me

I'm grateful for my parents. And you buddy sound like you were a f'n orphan. Sorry you have to live life as an asshole
impressive for her backing up!
#4014 was making history.
How? You didn't explain that part.
@@J3scribe I believe the comment is refering to the fact that the 4014 is the only steam locomotive running mainline on a Class 1 with a Positive Train Control system
@@justanotheraviator2357 CP 2816 Empress uses a similar system, which has been in use at least a month before UP's PTC system.
@@J3scribe didn't know that, cool to learn, thanks.
No, Jack just likes to state simple and useless facts that are either wrong, or known by everybody.
Ok so why the modern locomotive in with the rest of this short train ?
The first clip was probably before standalone PTC was installed on 4014. Regardless, a diesel was always needed for braking purposes.
4014 braked just fine in 1941, and pulled more than 16 freight cars give me a break😂
@@conductorjohnmthtrains2239 that’s because getting new brakes for steam locomotives wasn’t expensive back then. Now it’s thousands of dollars.
@@davidng2336Right. From what I heard elsewhere, the cars are needed to make up for the braking “capacity” that was given up by removing the diesel.
@@davidng2336 and how much does the wasted diesel fuel cost?, just saying. Brake shoes vs 300 g of fuel one tank
I would love to be in that cab tho Hearing it work in person is probably very astounding
Big Boy take good job without diesel helper but I notice she work hardly for acceleration the train and emiss a lot of smoke.
Im pretty sure it can push harder if they want it could pull many many km back in the day it some time pull up to 10thousand tons so no it not nearly go 100 procent throttle
Grammar ?
@@anthonycook5238not needed, runs on operational skills …qualification etc ….
EMD is the new Alco lmao. The 256J was their 244 and the 1010J is their 251
You're confusing EMD with GE. GE actually bought ALCO right after their bankruptcy. MLW continued for several years after that in Canada which GE had nothing to do with except for Bombardier. However,the GE 7FDL's are their own verison of the Cooper Bessemer RVBL's. GE bought the design,production rights,and licensing for it. The first GE units to actually have Cooper Bessemer prime movers were the GE 70T switchers with FWL-6T's which at the time was before GE bought the design. Before that everything was powered by Cummins and Caterpillar. The 1010J's in the SD70ACE-T4's are literally EMD 265H's from the SD90MAC-H's that have been rebuilt. The major differences are horsepower, crankshafts,and fuel injection which Caterpillar changed. The 1010J's in particular were specifically based on the 265H from the SD89MX prototype which is why there is twelve cylinders versus sixteen. There is also the ST23-T4 rebuilds from Wabtec which are former SD40-2's actually using GE prime movers that awfully resemble the ALCO 539's.
I was making a joke
