Day one of the 2024 Westbound Steam Tour sees No. 4014 climbing up track 3 over Sherman Hill unassisted with about 1065 tons behind the main tender drawbar. Here she is, with Austin Barker at the throttle, departing a short inspection stop at Harriman on the 0.82% grade towards Dale Junction and Hermosa Tunnel. Enjoy and stay tuned =)

Amazing scene! I'm glad UP was able to install the PTC device without it looking too distracting, you honestly could mistake it for some kind of toolbox on the tender if you even see it at all. Hope the crew's staying refreshed with the summer heat now.
So are you talking about the black rectangle thing in the middle of the coal tender
@@shockingguy*oil tender. But yes
Its actually always had that storage box, they just used the space for the PTC
Yep, heard the existing compartment originally housed the stoker engine for the coal. Pretty neat!
Nice video! I enjoyed hearing the engine accelerate without it being drowned out by the whistle.
If I want to hear a bell all day I'll lean on my doorbell. Most people are in love with the sound of the loco.
No matter how many videos like this I see, it never ceases to amaze how absolutely gargantuan the 4014 really is.
A living fire breathing rolling engineering marvel.
One MILLION pounds! Yikes !!!
Этот паровоз, всем паровозам ПАРОВОЗ😊❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
It’s interesting how old the Union Pacific Trains really are. Awesome catch again! Looks really hot there as well
" truly a magnificent
Piece of awesome
Power back in the Day and today still
Thriving in the USA .🦅🇺🇸 🚂🚃👍
nice post thank's. 🇺🇸
What does hot look like, looks to me that people have sweaters and jackets, how can you watch something like this and have a thought like that.
Kudos to UP, and all involved, for preserving and showing new generations a glorious part of history.
Great footage! Also, nice to see no graffiti on any of the freight cars, sure looked sharp!
Absolutely beautiful! Go big boy! Fantastic American history. Hi from the UK. ❤😊👍
Thank you, Union Pacific, for bringing this gorgeous "young" lady back to life. ❤😂🎉
Soooo , its UP Big Girl Now?! Ug , I cant believe it ! Another warped , mixed up Transformation , and Sign of The Times. SMH , Is Nothing Sacred ?!
Aaahh! 4014 with no diesel! Not sure if he'll have one later in the journey thou. Also Ed letting Austin take over as engineer must've made Austin excited.
Can confirm after asking him lmao
Well the only reason a diesel might be needed now, is to help with braking.
Big Boy had a diesel because of PTC requirements. Big Boy is now PTC compliant, no more diesel!
They try not to even use the brakes on 4014 herself. Braking is the reason for the freight cars on the end of the train. More cars means more braking power when you dump air. Cheaper to replace production pads on freight cars vs. the custom pads on 4014
@@jamesmckenzie3532oh believe me… it’ll have a diesel again!
Nice to see 4014 out again!
Man that video quality is awesome it's almost like it's in 4k really makes bigboy look really impressive
Absolutely great footage!!! 😊 ...Big THANKS for sharing my dear friend of trains ... " 👍✌️ " CHEERS and kind regards from overseas 🇩🇪, Olli
I know MANY people want to see her without a diesel, myself included. However, knowing steam and remembering how the diesel saved 4014 from running out of water by pushing it to safety. Diesels are required in the modern era for more than jist BS FRA regs.
I know 4014 is the star, but can we talk about the rolling stock and how good it looks too
I watched the 4014 leave Cheyenne this morning. It was looking good, and sounding good.
Have seen 2 Big Boys on static display & hoped that 1 would be restored. 2018 got to see 4014 as she passed through Cedar Rapids, Iowa on her way back to Cheyenne. Awesome sight to witness!
I was in Laramie, Wyoming, waiting for him to come in and then I saw him departed. I think we saw each other.
Awesome shot 👍 great train to see , great job on video, I have that model on my o scale layout what a beautiful locomotive, thanks for sharing
I love Big Boy! What a gorgeous machine! ❤️❤️❤️😊😊😊
Nice camera work. We were in Laramie to see it arrive today. Quite a sight!
That's amazing!! Thanks for sharing!! 👍
Wonderful - greets from Australia.
Excellent video! Thanks 👊🏻
4015 is crying on a lone piece of track somewhere 😢 4014 can now roam on her own like she once did. All of a sudden - everyone likes PTC… lol… almost 😂
Nice to see Ed giving someone else a drive!
He does that quite often.
"I think I can I think I can I think I can I....."
Looks like Ed has an engineer in training.
Great shot! Thanks for posting!!
An absolute tremendous thing to see.
i was on the top of that cut in sept 95 filming the 3985
One fine looking train
Kinda funny how we still get diesel noises despite the lack of one (generator car)
4014 accelerated this train without problem! Now I wonder how much 4014 can haul on level ground...
The biggest and best steam train of the world.
Amazing they've managed to restore so much of the locomotive and old infrastructure, I presume.
Awesome Catch
Awesome video
Awesome, nice stack talk, looks like there was a student engineer too.
UP #4014 highballs through Wyoming. He's headed west. He's pulling a small freight train too
Какой красавец !!!
Diesel ? We dont need no stinkin deeezle !
LOVE TO SEE THE BIG BOY PULL FULLY LOADED GRAIN CARS ABOUT 250 CARS WITH NO DIESEL IN MIDDLE OR IN BACK. OH YEAH. ❤❤❤❤😅😅😅😅😊😊😊
this is true steam power.
There goes all the brake shoes!
❤❤❤
Now that's cool. Are they gonna let it run the mainline without a diesel? Also I'm gonna get to see it twice pretty soon.
Yes, unless the 4014 needs help with braking. All the electronics the diesels was providing, are now tucked into the tender.
I saw a long string of passenger cars on their way to Cheyenne Friday or Saturday, I was assuming they were for this trip but I don’t see them. Any idea what they were for or where they were going?
He doesn't need assistance anymore he's BB 4014 Choo Choo Mr Ed and crew safe travels
The diesel for only there for dynamic breaking ( PTC) and to power the coaches. If you watch the video of 4014 pushing the stalled freight train the diesel is at idle(neutral) the entire time.
The diesel does NOT supply power to the coaches. Freight diesels do not come with HEP capabilities. That’s what the generator cars in the consist are for.
@@FanRailer I’ve always heard that up 4015 was only for dynamic and giving power to the coaches
The Diesel was not a helper. It provided all the electronic Feldercarb, that is now required. Plus helped with braking. Now all the electronics's and and other stuff, is tucked into the side of the tender. The Diesel was also there to help with Braking. Never to assist or push.
@@FanRailerI can confirm that diesels on non-freight trains are there for power. AMTRAK routinely uses UP power when the engines on the SunSet Limited fail. One of the AMTRAK engines has to be running for HEP.
Glad it beginning it west tour
Not built to spin free. Diesel put dynamic drag on 4014 to simulate pulling a load.
Great video. But is this run a test run or a ferry move with freight cars? I knew Big Boy was supposed to be running this week, but I thought it was going to be a western excursion tour.
No, the freight cars are there to help with braking. Since there is no Diesel engine to do Dynamic Braking.
Where will it pick up the passenger car consist?
Is this for the rose land excursion or more tests?
Nossa é muito legal ver o Big Boy sem o Diesel!
Nice 😊
Looked like Austin was at the controls.
Yes. Read the description
Wait the Big Boy has 4 high pressure cylinders... yet it's only doing 4 exhaust beats per wheel rotation instead of 8? Why is that? There's no way the two sets of valve gears are synched up that perfectly, right?
All articulated locos will get in and out of step due to slight differences in wheel diameter , curves, slipping, etc. Here's a classic example: czcams.com/video/fAuxZpTrt5A/video.html
OMG NO DIESEL! I do understand they may add one down the line, but I wonder if it means that 4015 will be moved back to regular service instead of just assisting 4014.
4015 has always been in regular service when Big Boy isn't running. She is still needed for breaking when they have the who passenger train from what has been said so I don't think we have seen the last of her with 4014
"Steam on the Iron"
Oh my lanta.
Will see it in California on 7-11. 👍
Doubt it will happen but would be awesome to see big boy defeat 3985 record
What "record" is that?
😊❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
4014 now has PTZ don't need diesel anymore
I saw it on camera from florida
A Big Boy on Sheman Hill, with tonnage, and no helpers, as God intended....
Was this converted from steam to oil? The smoke seems light.
Do you SEE a space for coal in the tender?
Is this Austin's first time on the throttle?
I'm sure it's not.
Magnificent
The freight cars not having graffiti all over almost makes this feel fake, like a model train set.
Well, it’s a PR train; you think they’re gonna use beat-to-hell freight cars on it?
Big boy isn't a steam engine anymore cause he's not using coal and it sucks they did this
Congratulations you win the dumbest comment of the week award. Not only were oil burning steam locomotives a thing back in the steam days, but lemme ask you what the boiler is generating and what is powering the cylinders. Oh wait, it’s STEAM. Steam is steam regardless of the source of the fuel.
You're dumb.
So the thousands of steam locomotives that burned wood and oil in the steam era weren't actual steam locomotives?
Your actually a idiot
You're the dumbest person that eart has ever had
Training up the next generation engineer.
