I watched it get first moved/towed out of the Pamona Fair Grounds. Then twice again(fully operational) recently atop the Cajon Pass. Whatever it cost to restore & run it's priceless living history as well as a perfect spokesmodel and PR for Union Pacific.
Excellent video! I've driven that stretch of I-70 many times, and there is not much to see along the way. It would have been great to drive along with Big Boy!
Love this video. Really like those pacing shots! I can imagine that at this point Ed and the crew are really tired after this epic trip and are thinking: "...almost home...".
I’d like to see her hauling a proper freight train. I wonder if those hopper truck were full or empty... It’s good that UP are preserving some of their old locomotives.
521wurlitzer it was not a emergency stop but someone was on the track but eventually they got off but if they had been on for 5-10 more seconds he Probably would’ve pulled the brake
The covered hoppers are for in case the emergency brakes get used since the passenger cars were dropped of closer to where they are stored. This means that if the brakes were applied there would be more axles to stop the train quickly
Union Pacific says that they are planning a trip for August of this year and the schedule is going to be released soon but i don't know if that will be affected by the virus or not
The crew in the diesel locomotive must be bored out of their minds, especially on the flat prairies. Maybe the put the dynamic brakes on every once in while to see it slows 4014 down at all, I beat it doesn't.
@@ColoradoRailroadProductions I just watched a video from TolgaEastCoast of 4014's trip thru Texas and there was a crew in the locomotive # 2551 that they had on that trip, so maybe Texas required them to have a crew?
Charles Damery I Believe in some areas they need someone in the cab like on passes and other places that require lots of braking just in case the mu fails but if it failed in flat land it wouldn’t matter so they didn’t have anyone in the cab

Sure wish it was coming to my city Portland Maine must be an awesome site to see
Great Video! I'll be on hand to welcome her to Greeley tomorrow!
Doug Evans aye I was there in Greeley as well!
At the 2:50 mark, there goes Tripod Guy with a walk-on. Way to go, Tripod Guy! It's all about you.
Top notch work!
I missed seeing this beauty because I thought it was arriving at 2pm. Not 12
Thank you for this. It's beautiful.
The shot at 1:40 was way too cool!!
Excellent video! I've driven that stretch of I-70 many times, and there is not much to see along the way. It would have been great to drive along with Big Boy!
Very cool to see a big boy out running on the rails I wonder what its cruising speed is.
It can probably get to 60 or 70 mph but the fastest the crews runs it at is 40
I rode Big Boy from Sallisaw OK to Gore OK two weeks ago. We cruised along at 40mph.

Yeah they had been out on the tour for a extremely long time
awesome video liked
Great footage. Was going to Greeley, but am snowed in. I’ll have to go visit it next spring in Cheyenne during Depot Days.
Was just in Greeley, and it was sure nice standing next to the warm engine.
Dalton Kraft
I bet it was.
Muy lindos paisajes
I saw it in Hugo and Limon.
Good video.
Glad you enjoyed it

they were full
Was that an emergency stop I heard at Deer Trail, Colorado? From the rapped repeated whistle ,something was up!

Well done
Que potencia de ferrocarril
Why the covered hopper cars?
The covered hoppers are for in case the emergency brakes get used since the passenger cars were dropped of closer to where they are stored. This means that if the brakes were applied there would be more axles to stop the train quickly
And I noticed how clean those hoppers look - no tagging on them (yet).
Nice video! Did you get any shots of it next to commuter rail? I’ve been looking for those clips.
Unfortunately I did not. I was planning on getting one but then I got lost on the way into town
ColoradoRailroadProductions No worries... actually just checked it myself. It’s huge!
Nice 👍
ColorDAO ?
Sorry I didn’t catch that in editing
MARCH 17 2020 WHERE IS BIG BOY NOW WHAT ARE ITS PLANS
Union Pacific says that they are planning a trip for August of this year and the schedule is going to be released soon but i don't know if that will be affected by the virus or not

Might be time to put a MU controller in 4014 like the 844 has.
I could be wrong but I believe 4014 already has a mu controller in it.
@@ColoradoRailroadProductions If 844 has one, they probably put on in 4014 too, if you look close, there is no one in the diesel.
