they do know the big boy can haul a shit ton of cars, and that only 9 cars for the double header and here just the tool cars... is kind of insulting to the locomotive right?
Just for FUN, get rid of the diesel and add all the passenger fleet they can muster. Then go and show everyone just what BIG BOY can do on Sherman Hill!!! I agree this little train of cars is sort of an insult to the locomotive. MAKE A TRAIN worthy of the locomotive. ;-) Just sayin!!!
What a majestic beast, massive yet graceful and radiates awe and respect; showing power and sleekness at once. A true king of the rails.
A wonderful triumph at any level, by any measure.
Just listen to him! OMG
I wonder if they {U.P.} know just how exiting awesome cant wait to see for so many people me being one of them that this is.
Excellent footage
Thank you!
Call me stupid, but could the name Big Boy or Big Boi be referring to the size of the boiler or just massive size?
It comes from someone in the ALCO workshop when they were building the first one of these locomotives writing on the front " that's a big boy"
Awesome video!!!
Thank you!
Your welcome!!
Like if the Union Pacific rr should rebuild the Big Boys.
