The Gaumont Phonoscene was even earlier than this.

I'd like to see 4014 pull freight trains again. Maybe pull a few intermodel trains too

5:18 rare footage of UP 5511

7:03 this music is from many Yogi Bear episodes in “the Huckleberry Hound show”

I remember watching this and always wanting to run either 9000 or the BiG Boy, I always thought they looked awesome

I love 4014s they're the bomb

i knew karen tedder her son rory was my best friend we went to high school together later in life she got mouth cancer she still tryed to sing i really liked her sadly both of her sons jeff and rory walford have passed away

Matthew Broderick!

4:31 *husky little haulers*

Drove a '76 Hornet Sportabout wagon in college, orange with fake wood paneling. Bought used for $600 with under 30k miles. Damn I miss that car.

I really wish Chrysler would re-release some of the AMC cars. I would love to see the Javelin.

I had this as a VHS when I was a kid, and dreamed of the moment in the beginning where a young kid sees one rolling by. It's so awesome to watch now, 30 years later, and see they only got the "happy memory" part wrong, with 4014 now operable.

A company in Europe can apparently hydrate that, but I do not know what they are charging.

Union Pacific: the 9000 class was the largest non articulate locomotive ever built PRR S1: am i a joke to you?

The Union Pacific tried to replace the big boy many times with turbine powered locomotives after they retired it but they could never match the raw power of it.

What type of whistle is At 4:24 and 5:04?

100 years from now was right. Incredible!

AMC built some pretty dependable cars and trucks. Never cared for the Pacer much. AND back when they sold Jeep it was less prone to issues and had less mechanical problems. I miss the simpler days.

6:12 6:21

5:49-6:19 That’s the problem the soviet union had with AA20 4-14-4 (Andrey Andreyev).

I watch this all the time when I run my ho scale big boy on my layout

Awsome cars , would love one now .

Most recently, I heard that Big Boy helped a stalled diesel train get up a hill in Blair, Nebraska.

man I remember watching this 10 Years ago when I was 5 and still into thomas. Now I'm taking my first steps into serious model railroading. Finally remembered the title of this amazing documentary.

This is a genuine message. The bit about sex impulse still applies today.

1:43 Those are some pre-code gams right there 👀

Beautiful Engine once again proves that they don't make them like that anymore.

The train is the boss of this in 1960 off the life For That Feels Like 1932-1966

Feels like in the 1970s The Big Boy 4014 is the largest train in 1970

This is sorta interesting . . . but wtf is with that fu%king loud ass organ music? geeeeez it hurts my brain. Looks like the roots of why Americans are so damn sexually repressed

We, our country, should always have the 1300's and 1400's on stand by to haul heavy loads. Keep the coal and water stops along the tracks.

15:30. That guy is missing a finger

This VHS inspired me as a young boy.

Hello, I recently found a reel of 16mm in a flea market in Italy, and when I scanned it, it came out that it was shot with a HoMovie Camera (film shot in 1936 in Italy). If you can give me your e-mail address I can write you more about it. Thanks in advance and Best Regards. Karianne Fiorini

Это наверное лучший паровоз в мире💥💯💥💥💯💥

Thank You Thank You 😊

Now that I look back; I wish I never overlooked AMC; When I started driving in 1973. I could afford a used one back then. Thanks for the video.

And it is back in action and with more power due to changing to oil burning.

We’ve designed a car that looks like a greenhouse (the Pacer) and nobody has done that before

What are the titles of the music found throughout the film? I’ve heard it in more than one place so I’m wondering if it’s on Universal Studios’ music archive or something.

I got this mug on tape. About worn out.

This film deserves an HD restoration.

The ONLY FOOTAGE OF 9000 IN OPERATION! LET’S MAKE IT HAPPEN AGAIN!

Bullshit talker

I personally hate the word evolution. Cause it’s usually something the devil uses to get people to disbelieve the holy Bible. The truth.

If #5511 at 5:18 looks like its smoke isn't being lifted very high, that's because it's not actually steaming. That locomotive was out of service by the time the movie was made, but to make it appear operational, the railroad set some tires on fire in its smokebox and pushed its train from behind with a diesel locomotive. The visibly weak puffs come from the valve gear being moved by the rotating driving wheels. You'll also note the lack of steam coming out of other places on the locomotive--compare it to the film segments just before.

My mama favorite saying she always taught me and my brother you can’t know to many people and be kind to them and help ones who can’t help themselves and I’ve took it to heart

The 4014 pushed a stalled cargo train uphill with its own cargo of people in Kansas recently
