- READ FIRST:
With the new PTC system installed on the tender, No. 4014 embarks unassisted on the first of two tours this year, bound for Roseville, CA and return. The train consists of the regular auxiliary water tenders, support cars, and extra empty freight cars (boxcars, covered hoppers, and caboose) for braking. Join us as we chase Big Boy over the Laramie Subdivision (Sherman Hill) between Cheyenne and Medicine Bow. Enjoy =)
Consist is about 1,065 tons behind the main tender, including the water cars.
FAQ (Read before commenting):
The water overflow from just in front of the rear cylinder on the fireman's side is the exhaust steam injector overflow port. Discharge from this port is normal when starting and stopping the injector, and when the injector switches between live steam and exhaust steam.
The diesel locomotive, while no longer necessary for PTC compliance, will continue to periodically be used where it is expedient for steam locomotive fuel conservation and assistance on long, sustained grades (power / dynamic braking)

One the better videos I've seen so far of the 4014 on her way to California, . . . .
Thank you. I always try to keep the quality high on my content. No point shooting otherwise.
“he” is been confirmed, sorry for the late comment
❤❤❤❤ LOVE THE CABOOSE ON THE END. MISS THOSE DAYS ...😊
It’s always a good time to see big boy on the move
Я и россии, любуюсь им вместе с вами, благодаря этому видео😊
Excellent video my friends awesome like 👍🏻 and Greeting 😊
I think you also said at one point that 4015 is no longer the only engine that can go behind 4014. As far as I saw on social media today a GE locomotive was placed behind 4014 around Rock Springs, WY.
Beautiful footage of the 4014! I'm trying to see if I can head out to see the Big Boy in Illinois in September.
Могучий, могучий паровоз💪💪💪💪💪 у него не свисток, он ревет как могучий зверь❤
Muy bonitas las máquinas antiguas me encanta 👏🏻
I wonder if they EVER will let 14 pull a full freight solo, would be GREAT P.R..
ผมคิดว่าเมื่อไหร่ที่รถจักรไอน้ำ Big Boy 4014 จำเป็นต้องใช้ diesel locomotive helper
1. ลากจูงขบวนที่ยาวและมีน้ำหนักมาก
2. เส้นทางที่วิ่งผ่านมีความลาดชันมาก
3. เส้นทางที่ผ่านมีทางโค้งรัศมีแคบมาก ซึ่งรถจักรไอน้ำ Big Boy จะต้องแยกออกจากขบวนรถเพื่อผ่านทางโค้งรัศมีแคบ
4. เส้นทางที่มีสถานีห่างกันมาก ข้ามผ่านทะเลทราย
Guess they got sick people asking why there was diesel in the consist to lol
It had to do with the FRA. A diesel had to be put in because steam locomotives don’t contain PTC (which the FRA is mandating all railroads have now)… at least, not until now apparently
Is it just me or does 4014s whistle sound very weak
Videos don't do justice on 4014's whistle. Its true power is best experienced in person. I saw 4014 when it came to Fort Worth in 2021 and remember the whistle being extremely loud even from a mile away.
Is it just me, or did 4014 sprout a third dynamo?
They needed it for the on-board PTC.
@@FanRailer I kinda figured that based on the fact that 4014 is able to run without a diesel PTC connection.
People waving,It's like waving to the pope when its moving and more revelent to the watchers
