  • During the middle of September, I made a big trip to Texas to finally see the Union Pacific Big Boy 4014 during the engine's Heartland of America tour through the Midwest. We would see the engine charging through the East Texas region from Texarkana to Dallas on the former Cotton Belt and Texas Pacific railroads. It is currently the world's largest steam locomotive operating today.

    My brother and I had the chance to chase the bigboy in Mo., from Desoto to Poplar Bluff. We were there from South Carolina and planned to chase for two days, but due to family illness had to head back early. We had made a sign and planned on getting crew member signatures in Poplar Bluff, but the remainder of a tropical storm prevented that. Still had an awesome visit

      Cool! Glad you got to see it! Hope your family is doing ok.

      Everyone is good, hope you guys are as well. The only disappointment on the trip was that the weather hampered our chances to get the signatures we wanted and that the trip was cut short.

    Imagine if Union Pacific installed ditch lights on 4014, I doubt they’ll do that though.

    • @csxnstrainman
      @csxnstrainman  2 месяца назад

      Believe that's what the double-seamed headlights are for.

    • @HunterWilliams-le9bk
      @HunterWilliams-le9bk 2 месяца назад

      @ the reason why 4014 has a dual beam headlight on the front is because it’s safety to be more visible.
