  • This is a very long day, we chased it through salt flats, tunnels and more! Here are some shots of 4014 going through the salt flats and a tunnel towards the end of the video and more! I had a wonderful time chasing the train and will continue to chase it all the way to Sparks, Nevada. Day 5 is chasing the Big Boy through Salt Lake City, Utah - Elko, Nevada. Hopefully I'll get some good shots! Hope you enjoy this video!

    The Diesel's doing most of the work.

    • @CommercialsandMiscellaneous
      @CommercialsandMiscellaneous Před měsícem +1

      No it's not. It's just there to provide dynamic braking and to extend the 4014's fuel range. 4014 is more than capable of hauling the train behind it.

    • @andywomack3414
      @andywomack3414 Před měsícem +1

      @@CommercialsandMiscellaneous What you say is true. OK, I exaggerated, but the helper is also there to reduce wear and tear on Big Boy which is also a function of dynamic braking. No one is mass-producing steam locomotive parts, and each type of locomotive requires many unique parts. Brake-shoes for instance -those big drivers need custom made shoes. It's the same for any engine -the harder it's worked, the more maintenance is required, and when replacement of the bewildering array of fittings, seals, bearings, pumps etc. must be custom made the expense of maintenance can be prohibitive.
