It was not special permission. You could whistle all of them or blow the horn on the diesels, except for Pacific 5021. you cannot whistle it it’s loud. Even the diesel that replaced 4014. They’re really loud, but there are other not loud ones
"I Want to take a ride on a Big Big Boy" a few years later Union Pacific: "Yeah, can we buy 4014 back?" Museum: "Sure!" Union Pacific: "Thanks" a couple years later Union Pacific: "Union Pacific 4014 steamed up again Want to take a ride on the last big boy #4014?"
Now that's a nice musical tribute to the 25 largest steam locomotives in the world, and fitting with 4014 getting a rebuild to working order. I like it! : )
4004 Big Boy was my play toy.... Cheyenne Wyoming in the 60's and 70's was something else! I have a family member who received the Golden Spike Award Posthumously....43 years of UP RR Dedicated runs from North Platte Nebraska to Cheyenne Wyoming..now he has a memorial in the GOLDEN SPIKE Museum at Bailey Yard North Platte Nebraska! .. William "Bill" Riley Sr. UPRR Locomotive Engineer! Caught that Long Black Train up to Heaven Above! Blow the Whistle
Paul, thanks for sharing your amazing family history and its connection with the Big Boy and Union pacific railroad in general. It is so cool to have family members that played huge part in railroad history. Thanks again!!!
@@TheAltarBillies That would be awesome. I watched a video of a group of children singing this song and I would love to sing it as well. Love the old steam locomotives and this would be a very fun song to sing. Just found your facebook page and I have liked the page as well. Great music to help remember a bygone era and thrilled to see the 4014 on the rails again.
Great sing &great tribute to Big Boy 4014 which runs excursions now with UP 844 & Challenger 3985 giving the Union Pacific triple steam power for excursion trains. Big Boy 4014’s brother 4012 is at Steamtown in Scranton,Pennsylvania and it’s brother 4004 is on display y in a park in Cheyenne.
I plant to be in Los Angeles on October 18th., I do hope Big Boy 4014 will be on display in Los Angeles Union Station & I see it when the Pacific Surfliner I will be riding on pulls into Los Angeles Union Station.
It brings a smile to my face even thinking this thing will be restored. Look forward to seeing it with the Challenger and the 844. Keep up the good work on the music too. ;)
Well, it brings a smile to my face and to hear you say that. We feel VERY privileged to have had access to such an historic railroad icon to shoot our video on. Like you and so many others, we too are looking forward to the day when 4014 sits side by side with the challenger and 844...thanks for stopp'n by and say'n "howdy!!
humm? Good question. I can't answer that, but we are glad you did and thanks for the great comment. Thanks for passing on the good word about "Ballad of the Big Boy" tribute to the great 4000 class ALCOS!
it's amazing to see that great locomotive move along a long train :) the dedicated song is incredible, keep doing your thing and be famous in the country
It would be awesome to an update video this song video was from 2013 months before 4014 was taken to Cheyenne for restoration. now it would be cool to make a re-do video of this awesome song next to the restored 4014 and include 844 with permission from the UP Steam Crew
Actually the big boy is not hauling his excursion it's kinda sad but its its amazingly hauling freight in ALMOST 60 years he went past to his old years in the 40s
hi yolanda, hummm...looks like it is hauling its excursion (passenger cars) to me. Yes there is a diesel in the consist - for emergencies and breaking - but as far as i can tell it is doing its thing. either way it is awesome to see big boy 4014 back on the mainline once again!!
AWESOME,great song about this beauty.Love your sound and hope to see you guys sometime in Germany.It´s funny how Rockabilly is so conected to trains.Guess it´s the freedom and wildness.Thanks for sharing..
Hello Carsten! Thanks for the big thumbs up. It is interesting how rockabilly and trains are connected. Yeah, trains are a metaphor for freedom, and about life in general. We would love to come to Germany sometime, that would be great!!..Thanks again for stopping in to say hi!!!..best to you!!
Yes, it was filmed a few days before union pacific took possession of it. We were invited to play in Ogden for the return of 4014 in May of 2019. I don't think we will ever get the chance to play on the "deck" again, that was a one time deal.
Really good song. Really makes you feel that the Big Boy you are standing on is acually moving at full steam. Could you make a song about W&A's The General in the near future?
@@PeterMultyGaming Thanks..like Big boy 4014, it has kind of taken on a life of its own..it belongs to all railroad music fans and is dedicated to the fully restored Big Boy 4014!! Long may he live!!
Big boy wants to say thank u he wanted his own. song 630 had one so did 4501 even ns them three from norfork southern lawmen and even 611 has one so does tvrrm 610 his is long black train
I love this song! And the fact that you all stood on the front of UP 4014! Wow!
Thank oyu...yeah, we were really fortunate to have access to 4014
*Very special permission from the RailGiants museum when the big boy was here
It was not special permission. You could whistle all of them or blow the horn on the diesels, except for Pacific 5021. you cannot whistle it it’s loud. Even the diesel that replaced 4014. They’re really loud, but there are other not loud ones
@@Lazy_train_videos oh they let me blow 5021’s
mostly you are lucky because me the manager I got told not to blow it this is my family channel I’m rick
You Could Never Get Tired Of That Whistle
I know I prefer that whistle then the higher pitch ones
Hi!
I am from Italy and my father loves Big Boy!!!
We went to visit the Big Boy in West Chicago on 2019!!
I like this song!!
Ever since 4014 came back, I have been listening to this song nonstop!
Thanks David...people seem to have taken to this tune..glad you enjoy it!
4014
4014 for life
"I Want to take a ride on a Big Big Boy"
a few years later
Union Pacific: "Yeah, can we buy 4014 back?"
Museum: "Sure!"
Union Pacific: "Thanks"
a couple years later
Union Pacific: "Union Pacific 4014 steamed up again Want to take a ride on the last big boy #4014?"
Awesome idea...and they did it!
About 6,000 horses...
damn that would be a sight to see out in the desert.
Damn big herd.
You bet Gordon, it would be the biggest dang herd west of the pecos, that would be s sight to see!!!
TheAltarBillies Better yet, to see them try to pull a train up a grade...

Awesome song and performed on the 4014 at that having been restored to operational condition 7 years later! That must have been an omen!
Now that's a nice musical tribute to the 25 largest steam locomotives in the world, and fitting with 4014 getting a rebuild to working order. I like it! : )

T-Minus 5 months to go till 4014 hits the rails once again!
Yep Scott...hard to believe but it can't come a day to soon!! It is going to be epic to see 4014 fly'n down the tracks and up over "Sherman pass!!"
TheAltarBillies I Saw You Guys At The Anniversary!
Great song and great locomotive! Roll on Big Boy!
Thank you so much - glad you like it! Ballad of the Big Boy!!
To think the Worlds Strongest and biggest steam loco is Done getting restored TODAY! long live the big boy!!!

I plant to be in Los Angeles on October 18th., I do hope Big Boy 4014 will be on display in Los Angeles Union Station & I see it when the Pacific Surfliner I will be riding on pulls into Los Angeles Union Station.
Okay, 4004 is actually 4014's grandfather, and yes 4014 and 4012 are twins
Even i saw the famous zillacan valley 3492 a f7 with their georgia bulldog scheme
It brings a smile to my face even thinking this thing will be restored. Look forward to seeing it with the Challenger and the 844. Keep up the good work on the music too. ;)

4014 is thundering down the rails, drawing huge crowds everywhere it goes
Now u can!
@@TheAltarBillies good night to see mommy lol and happy
7 years later, bet you are happy now
You guys are amazing!! You must do this again on the day Big Boy is officially up and running!!
Thanks for the big thumbs up. Yeah that would be cool to do it again when 4014 gets up and goin!!
And even zillacan valley southern and northern both are civil war steam locomotives same type as the 4501
indeed
Why am I just now finding this awesome song
humm? Good question. I can't answer that, but we are glad you did and thanks for the great comment. Thanks for passing on the good word about "Ballad of the Big Boy" tribute to the great 4000 class ALCOS!
I am one of the biggest fans of the big boy even though I have never seen one before but every video I see of it I can feel the power of these locos
Yep...it is the biggest and baddest steam locomotive of them all!
@@TheAltarBillies I'll contest you with my Good Ole Allegheny, but fair enough lol!
they have one on display at the Henry Ford Museum in Dearborn MI as well as others. Well worth seeing also
Hate to disappoint you, but that is a Allegheny. Slightly smaller, but rarer to see, as only 2 survive.
Spent 9-30-2019 with Big Boy 4014 from Carter, WY to Evanston, WY. Very Special day. Learned a lot and had great experiences. Awesome Engine...
Very cool...it is an incerdible locomotive and it is amazing to have it running again!
I saw Big Boy 4018 and thought of this song.
Awesome!!! There aint nothin quite like a big, big boy!!!
That's his up-going young brother
About a year and a half my wife left me and took my daughter. Your music keep me going .today me and my daughter Watch your videos.
Nice music video the amazing big beast now its roaring down the tracks like a beast with those 4 8 8 4 wheels with 844
Yep...thank you so much yolanda!!
I hope this giant does not retire
That's a good question. Since it is just brought back from retirement, i think it will be around for a while...thanks for the comment yolanda
@thealtarbillies wanna hear something funny
it's amazing to see that great locomotive move along a long train :)
the dedicated song is incredible, keep doing your thing and be famous in the country
HEY THANKS...WE APPRECIATE THE GOOD THOUGHTS AND ENCOURAGEMENT!!

4014 Big Boy is my favorite locomotive. May the beast awaken when he is restored.
Amazing, just Amazing song guys, it just fill's my heart when i hear this song

Zillacan valley 1237 aka the southern and 3592 aka the northern are thr zillacan valleys two civil war steam locomotives

Songs about the Union Pacific Big boy awesome and this song is no exception. May 4014 live on.
Thank you so much,,look for our new video: Burlington Northern" - coming soon!
@@TheAltarBillies Cant wait to see it.
This is my favorite song now
Awesome...thanks sir Clank Trap...we appreciate the positive feedback!!!
same
Actually, PRR S1 class 6-4-4-6 was 140ft rendering it the biggest non turbine steam locomotive. The biggest turbine was the C&O M-1 class at 173ft
The certainly is a debate about which locomotive is bigger - for now it appears Big Boy wins.
@@TheAltarBillies I like to think it's title is of biggest engines in preservation
@@samsstrasburgrailroad8427 great point!!
@@TheAltarBillies thanks!

Well it only hauling 3 but after that it hauled hoppers
Yea you were right altar billies
Well, we are not right very often...but it is an easy error to make....carry on yolanda and thanks for the great comments!!
