    Water makeup path:
    1. Out of the hydrant to the booster pump.
    2. Booster pump to the tool car.
    3. In the tool car the water is filtered, softened, filtered again, then chemicals are added.
    4. Then the treated water is added to the water cars and tender.

    Very best maintenance/support video to date. Helps to show just what it takes to keep the beast operating properly. Thanks!

    What a beauty! I would expect to see it pulling an intermodal train, maybe a bulk, heavy or automotive train. It has the power to do it, we already saw the Challenger pulling an intermodal with power and even with the 844, why wouldn't this beauty do it?

    Am I missing the BIG BOY logo on the front of the boiler? I plan on making it to Chi Town this September to check her out. Happy 4th to everyone and may God bless our country👍🏿

      About 36,000 gallons on that day.

      Depends how much they used, and Ed has said in presentations how they have to keep it low for some bridges due to weight concerns.

      ​@@railgraphix Very understandable.
      I wonder if anybody can get a video where on the yellow yellow cars. There's a little site glass in the back. If I'm right, can one day record them feeling one of those cars all the way up with water?

    Really enjoy your videos. If I may make a friendly suggestion, it would be to invest in a wind screen for your mic. Wyoming is wide open and windy as hell. It would enhance your production value so much if you could mitigate some of the wind noise.

    • @railgraphix
      @railgraphix  Před 6 dny

      I had one, but the wind sound was still there and the engine’s whistle sounded awful.

    Strange consist - normally when she goes on tour it's the full 10+ passenger car consist - why are they short of passengers cars this time, and have loaded her up with Box cars and Grain cars?

      As for the freight cars, they are there for braking. They can use the cars' breaks to slow the train and save wear and tear on 4014's brakes.
