- Sit back and join us for our chase of the famous Big Boy steam locomotive. In this video, you will see 4014 racing through East Texas! Also included is some history of the locomotive, one of the George Bush unit's final runs, and even a interview with Ed Dickens! Thanks for watching and enjoy!

Thanks for watching! Had a blast chasing this thing!
There’s just something special about the Big Boy’s steam whistle…but there’s something extra special about hearing that whistle resonate in the Piney woods of East Texas!!! WOW!!! Thank You Again!!!
We are HUGE train fans. Our son was 3 when he saw the 4014 Big Boy in Palestine on November 9, 2019. It was our very first time to see it in person. We LOVED it. It was so awesome to see the 4141 George Bush unit attached to this excursion!!! We were so very fortunate to see the 4014 Big Boy again on August 15, 2021. We can’t wait to see it again. We also can’t wait for the 4141 George Bush unit to be open for public display. Our son is now 5 and his love for trains has gotten even deeper. Thank You so much for posting this most incredible video. We have watched it numerous times. INCREDIBLE JOB!!!
I'm glad to hear your son enjoyed the video. I grew up watching the same type of stuff, and it makes my day hearing this. Thanks for sharing that!
I had the privilege of seeing this behemoth as it made its way to College Station. This was the second time I saw 4141, but this was a much nicer occasion. That whistle still makes me shudder. Modern diesel locos, just don't have the same appeal.
Awesome video! It really is a dream come true to see this old guy back running again. -Ty
Thanks Ty!
HOLY CRAP!!!! I was in that blue Dodge Grand Caravan behind the Ford Expedition at 3:39
Very cool!
Awesome video!! 20:28, 22:10, and 23:19 were the locations I was at too! What a great chase it was!
It was fun. Thanks for watching!
Another top-quality production video, my friend! Thank you for sharing.
Thanks! Glad you enjoyed!
This is one of your best videos yet man, I'm mad jelly haha
Thanks dude!
Incredible video! Nice video showing 4141 being set out

Thank You so my for this!!! We were in Palestine for this. We had a blast...so did our 3 year old son!!! He is 4 now and still loves his trains!!!
That's great to hear! Glad you enjoyed!
Great video! Thanks for posting.

Awesome catch of 4014, Bishop! That was incredible!
Thanks!
You did an awesome job with this catch of the big boy bishop! Thanks for sharing such an awesome video! Btw wish me luck on seeing it today!
Good luck! You're gonna love it! It's definitely something videos don't do justice. Seeing it in person is the way to do it!

Just watched your video. I didn't notice y'all but it would've been nice to meet you. Maybe next time.
Yeah
Big Boy is a monster. Black and Big :-)
Good stuff man!
Thanks Jamie! Can't wait for your video!
Is it possible for these old steam locomotive trains to pull the loads our current diesel-electrics pull today?
I was standing back behind you at 20:20 and didn't even realize it
How bout that haha? Which one were you? That crossing was crowded.
@@LouisianaRailProductions I had the Patriots beanie on, and yeah crowded was an understatement lol
I was in the blue Louisiana Tech hoodie.
Man, you sure got some good shots! Awesome Video and documentary! I’m going to post my 200 mile chase of the big boy from San Antonio to Houston later this week if you are Interested
Definitely! Would have loved to chase it in that area but college finals said otherwise haha!
Louisiana Rail Productions I hear ya. Haha

By this coming up week I’ll be filming in a different place sadly, got 2 videos today, got one up and tomorrow I’ll upload the other, I got irritated from the one I put up cause it’s glitchy again towards the end, if I had the time I’d try to make alittle bit of $$ before getting hired, but don’t have that much anyway, and the closest the big boy was to me was in Texarkana, still a far drive
Ah alright.
Enough of the whistle.
Not enough I'd say.
