- Опубликовано: 30 сен 2021
- Ready to see the Largest Steam Locomotive in the world? It's known as the Union Pacific Big Boy No. 4012 and it's located at Steamtown National Historic Site. This static display piece is unlike any locomotive you will see in the world. Dubbed, the "Big Boy", this 4-8-8-4 type Locomotive was built in 1941 by American Locomotive Company and is 1 of 25 ever built. There is only 1 of these Big Boys in operation today and it's No. 4014 which was restored to operation condition by Union Pacific. 4012 at Steamtown was cosmetically restored to nearly factory new condition and re-debuted May of 2021. Once you arrive in the parking lot at Steamtown, you're greeted with the behemoth which dwarfs anything in site. So come along with me as we take an up close and personal look at the Largest Steam Locomotive in the world known as the Big Boy. Enjoy

What a magnificent machine. 611 is the Queen of Steam, Big Boy must surely be the King of Steam.
👍🏽
When 4012 was in Steamtown in Bellows Falls VT it was rusting away and in pretty bad shape. I’m glad to see it so nicely restored.
It's like showroom condition now
Visited 4014 many times over the years at the train museum located on the Pomona Fairgrounds during the LA County Fair here in California. It was a bittersweet time for me when UP took it back for a complete restoration. Sad to see it leave, but thrilled that they were going to put it back in service! It was chosen because it was in the best shape of all the Big Boys on static display. There are videos, as you said, on YT and some chronicle the move. It was quite a job to get it back on to a main line track.
Oh my, that is so HUGE! Amazing! Yes, would love to see it in person. It's so big! Thanks for sharing this piece of history with us!
Thanks for watching 😊
Excellent locomotive tour and detailed description analysis, the Union Pacific rr "big boy" is one of my all time favorite types of "articulated" type steam locomotive power.
The saying "Built to Last" really describes The Big Boy🙂
An amazing piece of engineering, it must have been wonderful seeing them in their days of operation.
Big Boy is amazing to see in person... I remember when they first brought that here.... I went down to see it coming in.
Go check it out again. She looks as good as ever.
I showed my son the old videos of the Big Boys. He never forgot. It was near St. Louis recently. We should have made the effort.
Wow love the big boy.. amazing alot of wheels there your lucky to stand next to it! Beautiful 💙
Amazing ✌ video on RUclips 💯💯
Wow 4012 sure looks great now!! I saw her in 2013 when she was on the other side of the parking lot, and she was in really sad condition. So glad they did such a great restoration job. Nice catch about them displaying it on the curve to demonstrate its articulation. I'll likely be stopping to see 4012 this weekend, and hopefully next year I'll be able to travel to see 4014 in action. That's a bucket list item for me.
I highly recommend stopping to see her.
@@JPVideos81 I definitely will!
I've gotten to see 4014 run with my very eyes and it was certainly a sight to behold! I saw back in 2019 and I loved watching all the moving parts and I loved hearing it's whistle. I also got to see 4006 on static display in Missouri and I got to go in the cab and put my hands on the controls. The Big Boy is my favorite steam locomotive and I would love to see all preserved Big Boys in this country. I've got two down and six more to go 😂
These are things our kids will never forget seeing
Awesome video JP! I love them Big Boy's, I've never saw one in person, thanks for giving us the perspective of the size! Hopefully I'll get to see one someday!
Thanks Mitch. Static display or running. I recommend taking the opportunity to see one in person.
That is amazing! A Big Boy came through my town, don’t know which one but it happened two months ago I think. I missed it though. I was so upset. Thanks for the video! Yes, it was the Big Boy 4014 that came through. Now I’m really upset. Well maybe next time.
Hopefully you get the opportunity to see her again.
I share your love of trains JP. I love your train content!
Hard not to like trains
I can't get over how massive it is and so majestic standing there in all it's glory! What a beautiful sight that would be seeing it coming down the tracks! So amazing! Great video JP, thank you so much!
It's very impressive. I hope to see 4014 operating in person sometime.
What a gargantuan beauty!!! That was very interesting, thank you!!! 🚂🛤💖💙🛤🚂
My pleasure Cynthia
Amazing
Awesome train 🚆 thanks for sharing this 👍
Yes saw her many times , hope to get up this fall to the new Paint job . Nice video (:
This is one awesome big locomotive. Can't even wrap my head around it.
I cant even wrap my arms around it... sorry, bad joke haha
@@JPVideos81 haha
That train is just downright awesome!!!!
Can't agree more 😁
Speak now that would have been the perfect train for the movie back to the Future that would have been an awesome movie with that humongous train no word of a lie thank you JP for this amazing history of a beautiful gorgeous train like that see you on your next video amazing
Awesome history
One word.....AWESOME!!
Yes!
Seen 4014 when it came thru Vegas amazing to see it running.
Wow, JP! That train is massive. That's probably the biggest train I've ever seen. Great video and as I always say your photography at the end is stunning. Thank you for making this video. I had no idea the size of that train. It's amazing!
Thanks so much 💙, hope you like the shirt I wore 😊
😮 Wowzers! That's bigger than the one I saw in Nashville Tennessee's 576... it's only have 4-8-4. 😮👍
I don't have much time to catch many of your videos Jay, but I really miss you all! 💙 besides the crazy 60 plus hours work week I'm working, I'm pulling a lot of model train stuff out of my old train Club need anything? I'm not sure where I'm going to stick it all LOL pile-up in the garage for the next few years I guess. 😔
Finally I have caught up financially got all the bills and debts all paid and caught up, and starting to get me a few things have needed and wanted, just got me a beautiful bright red Chevy Avalanche LTZ sittin on well, not quite as big a wheels as that train but they're 24s LOL... I absolutely love it... oh, I forgot you're a Ford guy LOL and you like blue... sorry 🤪
I have had two nice trips with my son this year... one a stay at St Louis Union Station Hotel, a place you got to stay if you ever get to St. Louis, we also visited the zoo in Six Flags and then we took another trip to Chicago and went to Six Flags up there... Next year hoping on getting me a another motorcycle something more suited to my needs, got my eyes on a Kawasaki Vulcan 2000cc... who knows maybe I'll get out your way next year.
Anyway I know I'm rambling... take care, thanks for the great video!
Glad to hear things have improved. Thanks for stopping by. 👍🏽
It's a mystery to me how a buggy and horse people were only able to manufacture such enormous massive iron parts and precisely assemble them into this gem of engineering we see. As you mentionned she's somewhat daunting.
thanks for explaining how coal was fed as it was a question i had in mind.
You're welcome
@@JPVideos81 always great stuff on this cheannel.
Absolutely beautiful train I would love too come across the pond from England to america too see this train and many more trains america has got I would be like a kid in a sweetshop lol walking around the trains in ur country the museums I would be visiting them too and just staying there for hours looking at all the magnificent gadgets on the trains , I really enjoyed this video u did a good one hear mate a massive godbless to you,
Love your videos and mutual fascination with trains
Thanks
Holy this is mind bogling large, I was reading the specs you gave us but it wasn't untill I saw it against the cars driving by and the people and you that the size of this beast really stood out.. I've never heard of this locomotive before let alone ever seen it and I'm 38 years old that's crazy,. It's truly mind-blowing I'm actually speechless for once in my life lol .. wow loved the photos to mate. I had questions but you've already answered them all within the video 🙂 have an amazing rest of your week. Hopefully they open it up for cab tours again one day
Glad you enjoyed it. It's an awesome piece of equipment.
@@JPVideos81 +Gidday mate it truly is a masterpiece of its own art, imagine seeing this on the lines in its day chugging along,..it's incredible how they built such in those earlier days
Nice video, beautiful locomotive. The Big Boy is the longest locomotive and has the largest firebox. The C&O Allegheny 2-6-6-6 had a larger boiler and weighed more and developed more horsepower.
That is a cool locomotive I never seen one that big
It's almost like a building on wheels
You going to do any videos of the other UP monsters, like the DD40X?
I have to get up there sometime and check that out as well as Steamtown. I found a video of the Big Boy 4014 in operation out west somewhere. It is an impressive piece of machinery.
Would be glad to show you around steamtown
One my wish list to come out and see this and Steamtown before snow fall this year...Hopefully.. be a nice day or 2 trip for me..
Would also be Beautiful to see covered in snow.
@@JPVideos81 Yes it would!
Just so GORGEOUS! ! ❤ He was getting pretty when we were there last year....I was so sad I didn't get to see him in person! I'm wondering how they managed to find engineers that could operate the 4014, since one hasn't been run since before most of us were born. Thanks for showing this beauty!
Good question. I'd imagine lots of training.
I wish they would take the big boy 4014 to the other big boy locations and use a pipe and connect it from the 4014 and attach it to the other big boys whistles and blow them on steam so the other big boys Whistles could be heard. Like they did with Nickel Plate Road 757 and 765. I got to see the 4023 and the 4014 and the 4006 so far.
I wonder if that big boy number 4012 was back on operation with big boy 4014 pulling the excursion here in Brookfield Missouri
That was an awesome experience to see her in her new glory. I am working desperately to get the DeLorean done so we can take that ride back in time to see her operating. 😉😊😅
No need, just need a trip out west to see her sister riding the rails.
@@JPVideos81 😉😊
Really want to see 4012 and 4014 in person
I hope you get to see 4014 Big Boy operating.
I have a video of big boy 4014 when it came through Corsicana TX. Like JP said video does it no justice. It’s HUGE and LOUD
when it got there, it went thru vandalism so much,,, and it, assuming it was suposed to be a catcher for the stupid place,,, didn't work, so they had to move it, and more than likely, make more fences to keep 'others' away from it. The idea of the new steam town was great, like all of the ideas, with no prommises ,,,,, as usuall,,, those, don't make money, even tho i can't spell it, lol. you know i love you, lol, xoxoxoxoxo
These engines are massive. Videos just don't do them justice. Yes you must get out to see 4014. We got to chase it in Louisiana at 60mph and WOW was that impressive. Like I said video just doesn't do it justice. I really like how they left it on the curve to show how it is articulated.
Thanks for watching. Hoping I get to see her in 2022.
The big boy train is one of my husband's favorite . I think some time we will have to take to see it . If we go through Ithaca ny it will only be about 2 hour trip.
I definitely recommend it
I have a video when UP 3985 Challencer and UP 8444 run between Nebraska and Wyoming. But I know Big Boy is bigger. Those two engine look like the same, but Big Boy series is bigger then Challencer. I have notice UP 4014 is built up and run on the tracks again. The Big Boy have a wheel series who in America is 4-8-8-4, in Europe we count different on the wheel axle on the steam engin, we count the small weel axle with number and the big wheels with letters, Big Boys weel series in Europe is 2-D-D-2. On 3985 Challenger is in America 4-6-6-4, but in Europe that will be 2-C-C-2. But they bout is a beautiful engine.I hope you can make a video with Big Boy over Sherman Hill in Wyoming some time. Good video.
Thanks for sharing your info on the wheels and letters. Never knew that.
It sucks that they can't restore it, maybe UP could restore it one day and make it run on their rails. Another reason Steamtown isn't restoring it is because they're currently trying to restore Boston and Maine 4-6-2 number 3713.
quick question does the mall at steamtown still exist I lived in Scranton from 2003 to 2008 moved back to Ga just curious 🧐
It's now called the Steamtown Marketplace, but it is still there.
It's not what you would remember it as. Only store left is Boscovs.
I got to see 4014 when he made the south/ eastern tour in Aug this year. No video cause phone decided not to record.
That's a great experience that not many can say they've done.
I am surprised that special tracks did not need to be built to carry that weight
I have see 4014 at Logan Utah 150th anniversary that’s a Gold spike hit into the rail and she was at Pacific Railroad Museum she’s truly is a beast then next day she drove by my town I can hear a like hundred miles away not literally and that sure sound like it she always brings a tear to my eyes when she’s on the prowl I’ll join it those men and women worked on her as a with lot of Pride keep her a alive
Isn't 4012 identical to UP4014 that just took a tour of the south about a month ago?
They are amazing engineering that today's engineers could not design.
Jp have you ever been to East broad top train station/yard. Believe you will enjoy this location.
Enjoy your videos
Hoping to get there next year
i stole the lightbulb from it when steam town was in VT. I remember it when it was across the river in NH.
How much freight Cars can the big boy pull?
Ive seen bigboy rolling through adams Wisconsin
I got to see him in the early 90s its over 100feet long.
I saw Big Boy #4014 recently went it went through Brighton, Colorado, if that’s the same Big Boy that is in Cheyenne, Wyoming.
Awesome
The 4-8-8-4 Big Boy use to sit at 3 different locations not just 2 the First being in the early 70's up near Radisson Lackawanna Station for over 13 years before moving outside near the Roundhouse. The Big Boy is only the Longest Steam Locomotive ever built the Largest or Biggest Strongest Steam Monster of the Rails is Allegheny Class 2-6-6-6 N&W more power than the Big Boy so strong that it's been proven by math and physics that she could pull the Big Boy while the Big Boy was trying to pull back. Unfortunately, there are None to existence but their sister a C&O #1601 on display at the Henry Ford Museum in Dearborn, Michigan. The info & blueprints of the Allegheny Class Steam Locomotive tells and shows the truth about her power, many Big Boy Fans will deny the fact that the Allegheny is the True Beast of the Rails given she was a Mountain Monster pulling massive coal loads over the West Virgina Mountains.
That Locomotive blows your mind on how Huge it is. I would Love to get a look inside, wouldn't that be something. Many moons ago we had a huge Steam Locomotive come to Texas but I don't think it was as large as this tho. Anyways Thank you for Sharing.
Most locomotives are impressive, but this one is just amazing.
@@JPVideos81 Thank you again for sharing ❤ .
I have a question do the people who drive the engines volunteers or employees?
Both
Big Boy pull 5.5 mile long of a train and it does 80 mph.
You got some really great shots of this granddaddy monster ! I bet it would have been exciting to see it moving down the tracks on its trip across America....a mighty workhorse . ( always learn something from a JPVideo : } Thank you !
Thanks Barb. She's a beautiful monster of a locomotive.
hi JP
hi JP PRAY BRIAN
hi great Song Brian ireland
whow gt song
I almost got to see the 4014 in person, but unfortunately, there was no parking to be had. I was not happy about that. The 4012 looks phenomenal.
🚂😁👍
How much horsepower?.I
Wiki says 5,300 - 7,000 hp
I heard there are more powerful locomotives than this in terms of reactive effort and horsepower. Besides, the longest and heaviest trains like the iron ore trains will make this locomotive CRY 😅
I thought Big Boy was 4014.
Big Boy is the name for this particular style of locomotive. There were 25 "big boys" built. 4014 is the only operating one.
One of a kind? There’s 8 left
I didnt say last one left. One of a kind as in different from every other locomotive.
@@JPVideos81 gotcha
4012 doesnt work bigboy 4014 does work
It's not the largest steam locomotive in the world.....
Yes, it is. There is no steam locomotive anywhere in the world as long AND as heavy as Big Boy. And don’t say the Yellowstone. It’s not as long as the big boy. Shorter by almost 10’
