- As we are out there chasing the Big Boy just now, here is a quick preview of shots between Cheyenne and Salt Lake City! So much more coming soon!!
If you are watching as this video first went up Sunday morning, the Big Boy 4014, Ed Dickens, and the fabulous Union Pacific Steam Crew are in Elko Nevada. They will depart Elko Monday Morning at 8:00 or 9:00 AM. Not sure which, probably 9:00 but assume 8:00! Don't miss the train!!

Well if I'm unable to see this beautiful locomotive in person I have you to thank for your videos of this magnificent machine thank you very much for sharing 👍👍
@@charlesmcclure5994 hope your can.
Have to say that the Union Pacific Big Boy train crew really know how to do a summer road trip right! Thanks for the video!
Excellent video thank you hope to get out west to see that magnificent machine
@@neilwilliams5173 indeed! Feather River! Wow.
Thank you for taking us all along on this trip!
@@theburtseoni you are so welcome’😊😊🚀🚀
It's always great to see the "Big Boy" in action. Nice capture! 👍
@@everettthepetractionguy4222 hi again. Some very modern traction coming up. Battery-hydrogen-overhead wire. Amazing new technology.
Very cool! Thanks for sharing!
@@chiparooo thanks for watching!
So beautiful an engine
@@michaelfedora5630 indeed
Thank you 2 and good night
@@jeffbangkok sleep well
Thanks for the show. It's nice to see it pulling fright, not just an excursion train doing what it was mentioned to do. Just miss the long trains it was meant to do....😊
@@jacko9759 something different. Fun!!
I may not be able to chase the big boy but the video you have shown is just as good. The videos are so clear as sound so good it's like being there. Thanks so much looking forward to more.
GOD BLESS 🚂 💞 🚂 💞 🚂 💞
@@loispadgett6306 bless you too! We are beat! Hot and tired. But WOW.
Thank you.
@@historybuff7491 you are so welcome!!🚂🚂🚂🚀🚀
Thank you Karyn and Dale for the great video on 4014's movements.
@@vincentcalvelli6452 hi again. Thanks!
Cool rail tracking, Dale and Karyn! You caught yourselves a Big Boy.
Great shots of the train . thank you . Have a great Sunday
@@stevemellin5806 hi again!
Ohhhhh, wow. Just magnificent.
I REALLY wish I could join in with this.
Do the railroad police always wear full cowboy hats? I love that. 🤠
@@ThatBIGTRAINGuy yup. The UP police. We had local police, sheriffs, and the UP railroad police. And not one donut! All good people! Hope you’re safe and happy. We are back on our railroad now. Had to give up. 100° tomorrow. Over 100° for the next 5 days. Possibly 105°. Thank goodness for air conditioning. 127° at Death Valley next week. 113° in Vegas. Hum. I think I’ll work on the truss bridge inside. I may test fit as long as I need only go outside for a few minutes.
@@ToyManTelevision Perhaps they'd appreciate some donuts. Although, they may be extra sticky in the heat!
Chasing around in that heat doesn't so much fun. Great you've seen it in some places, but I don't blame you for going back home.
I'm alright thanks. Got myself a new toy!
OH FINALLY This Handsome Loco headed my way been chasing it from Ut. To Elko Nv. WAHOO❤❤
@@bernardc2553 across the salt flats yesterday! Today in Elko. Onto Winnemucca tomorrow. Then onto Portolla!
@ToyManTelevision chased it from the air To Elko weather (turbulence) was relentless couldn't hold my camera ! Nevertheless it still was cool ,I'll catch it departing Westward today ..
I miss the Challenger, it was such a handsome locomotive!
@@finlayfraser9952 it should be back soon.
I loved this episode! It was good to see you both back out on the road again. I missed the opportunity to see the big boy this time due to work, but maybe on the return trip?
@@robertemmons2260 hi again! Yes, it will be coming back through in a couple of weeks. Really hard to see it in Nevada as the southern Pacific is a little bit harder to get up close to the western Pacific but once it reaches Ogden that totally changes!
Great footage!
Nice video
@@amyreynolds3619 thanks!!
Awesome video! I can't wait to give chase on its Heartland of America Tour. 4014's passenger consist is ready to roll at Council Bluffs and will soon hit the mainline to California in a day or two.
@@UnionPacificTrainMan1988 yup. Elko tonight. Onto Winnemuca and PORTOLA.
Looking forward to seeing it in Roseville on Saturday!
@@lisas8648 big event. Are you going up in the mountains to see it in Feather River Canyon?
@@ToyManTelevision I thought about that section off the Hwy 70. Sadly my husband and I just spent 2 nights in Graeagle and went to the museum in Portola. We are heading home to Sacramento as we speak. But because of your video I now want to go see it in the wild..lol.
Interesting big boy moving freight this year!! Maybe it could generate enough revenue to pay for its upkeep by pulling freight trains. 🎉 Also great to see a full train without graffiti!!
This train fr big boys and girls!’ 😅
@@Photobuffeddy_AGS yup!!!
Nice job catching the big boy toy man television keep it up please and be safe out there while Railfanning please
@@user-rd8cu2tu8e as always!! We have been back at least 50 feet on this trip. Better film and photography and safer too. We’ve had as many as 30 police officers guarding the train at any given time, keeping people back. They’re really going for a safe trip.
Excellent footage as always you two 🤠❤️ Sandy and I chased it from Ty Siding to Laramie where we got up close at the depot there! Looking forward to the full length show!❤ from Colorado 🇺🇸
@@kevinwooldridge8261 hi! We gave up the chase this morning. it’s just getting so hot and we can only do so much! Oh my goodness what we have seen. And we have some fabulous video.
@@ToyManTelevision I'll just bet you do! We're really looking forward to seeing it ❤️🔥🙀😻 thanks and take care 🙏
No, it wasn't boring at all! I look forward to seeing it when it comes through Ogden in about a week or so!
Nice video. I don't know if you guys saw it (kinda doubt it) but Aaron Benston of 7idea Productions released his video of the May 2019 Big Boy's break in run. I don't know how he did it but he managed to almost no people in his shots! Anyway, enjoy your trip!
Yes, his 2019 video of the Big Boy 4014 and UP 844 is awesome especially the drive through Echo Canyon in the rain, beautiful footage, hard to beat. I hope one day that UP can do this again with both locomotives.
Very nice BigBoy scenes Dale. I wasn't able to get out this week as I was out of town but I hope to get some footage as it returns this way.
Great vidio, love that footage and what are the freight cars? .Thanks for the morning coffee...
Dale! Do you like the idea of having Eleon Musk make the 4000 into an electric train? Cut out that noisy whistle and all of the smoke? 😅
@@garyacker7388 I meant he’d wanna take it to Mars and build a railroad
Cool journey with Union Pacific Big Boy 4014! It’s very incredible.
I was at the Roy Front runner Station when it went by. I noticed they added a diesel locomotive. Did they do that in Evanston? They did not have one coming across Wyoming. Could it be for dynamic breaking coming down the steeper Wasatch grade and from Donner Pass into Roseville?
@@johnburger3287 hi. Mostly power. They need to extend the fuel range across Nevada.
Great job chasing 4014!
Does anyone know what is in the boxcars and hopper cars
@@thecowboy2523 nothing. Just for show.
Thanks for chasing the train for us all. I tried that last time she came through, but the crowd was off-putting. Curious about a couple of things. Wy the freight care in the train? Do you think I would have a good shot at seeing the train without a crowd in Elko on 7/19?
Are the freight cars in tow for braking or because they are new....to show to carriers? At least they patched the graffiti.
@@Denniss7420 all of that. Sad about the damn tagging.
Out of curiosity, were they pulling freight cars just for fun or is there another reason?
@@VFRSTREETFIGHTER fun. And show. And braking. They need cars to add brakes. I’m not sure why they are picking up the passenger cars in Roseville, but I’m assuming they thought it would be good advertising to have freight cars.
Do you know who riding the passenger car and what in the RPO?
@@jamesklove9629 there is a water car and the tool car. The conductor is riding in the tool car. The “water” car has a lot of equipment. Mostly water softeners and water Ph adjusting equipment. And some other stuff too
What's with the freight behind the 2 passenger cars? Are they moving illegals in those box cars-LOL, just kidding!! I would of thought that they would have a paying passenger train for this!!!
@@vinnyheaphy1372 i’m not sure why they’re picking up the passenger cars in California, but for advertising and PR purposes as well as needed breaking they added in the brand new freight cars. They’re only carrying passengers between Roseville and Sparks over Donner Summit. Union Pacific never runs passengers on the train. They will give the train over to a nonprofit as a fundraiser and they will handle that. I have known them to employee specials, but that’s the only time Union Pacific handles the passengers.
I am SO tired of seeing that damned diesel behind 4014. She doesn't need it now that she's equipped with PTC. So what gives?
Brake shoes for steam locomotives are expensive nowadays
Dynamics
@@brucefrytz8611 all of that plus they need to extend range crossing Nevada. So they need to add diesel power and cut back on oil consumption.
dynamic brakes, making big boys custom brake shoes takes about 200$ which is a big no-no to crews
