Great Video of the run-bys! I liked the Elmhurst run-by. I took two of my Grandchildren to West Chicago on 27 July 2019 to see Big Boy. We had a great time looking at the engine and seeing the Union Pacific Experience exhibit.
I was at the County S crossing in Kenosha, WI, about 1.5 miles north of where you started the video. She was awe inspiring to see in person and feel the ground shake when she went by at a good clip (speed). I wish I can relive that day over and over again. Loved it
The diesel electric is providing electricity to all those passenger cars. Big boy produces no electricity. It was hauling freight back in the day. Actually, this train is quite light and small for an engine as massive as Big Boy.
The Big Boy keeps rolling on!! Great shots, man!!

Thanks for recording this historic event for those of us among the expats of the Chicago area.

Great video. That is me across from you in Elmhurst in the Northwestern hat at the box. An amazing day!
That 4014 locomotive is massive! What an incredibly awesome looking piece of machine! No body does it like the U.S of A....respects!
I saw Big Boy yesterday in West Chicago, Big Boy is beautiful, the Union Pacific cars are beautiful, I love the Challenger.👍🛤️🚝
What steam engines seem to delight in doing, setting off the hot box detectors! LOL
Nice video! I was there in Kenosha.
Cannot believe the size of that train .from England.
2:35 Kind of reminds me of the old 1950's video of the Bigboy....except the diesel of course.
She's in Rochelle Illinois right now at Railway Park 7-30-19
Beautiful Beast
Good work, Evan.
That horn must shake the ground
Plus, the wind carries the sound for many miles.
WR Productions Great Video! I Just Subscribed!
I’m so pissed I missed this.
I saw big boy in St. Paul.
You can call this "AMERICANA"
How'd you get so many views already on this video? Looking for some help on getting more views on mine.
Great Footage!
How does the engine refuel itself along the route? Are there coal stations along the route?
The 4014 was converted to oil burning during its restoration.
Why do they always have a diesel unit behind it? Can't the big boy do it by itself?

Does the diesel also provide dynamic braking if needed?
Just in case.....
