Big boy is one of the most powerful locomotives ever built in history. These locomotives were designed to handle 4500 ton drag freights on their own over the mountains of Utah. They were capable and did in fact once pull a 5 1/2 long loaded freight train by themselves. 844 was more along the lines of a passenger engine much like an A4 or even a p class Mikado of lner heritage. Towards the end of the steam era here in the states, 844 did haul freight trains, think of her as just a huge mixed traffic loco

So big boy is Henry from Thomas and 844 is Edward from Thomas too (basically)

If they were pulling 100 cars or more, the Big Boy would win. Not to mention the Big Boys’ max speed on freight trains was at a max of 60mph, the 844 and her sister engines have a max speed of atleast 110mph

@@NashRailfan you are correct, but supposedly the big boys could go like 110 MPH. But they obviously didn't test that.

While in service, Big Boy could haul 5 mile long trains and had a top speed of 80mph.

I’m not surprised that Big Boy was eventually come to the strength competitions, I wonder about the Challenger 🤔

I would like to say, that the big boy was made to haul freight at 60mph, where as the 844 was made to haul things at 120mph. The is a big difference between the two. The engineers were known for running the 844 like locomotives at more then 120mph

Union Pacific built their locos tough. 844 may be 'smaller', but size isn't everything. The Big Boys were meant to pull heavy loads great distances and not at high speed. Because 844 has speed it can pull heavy loads too, as it has a surplus of power for its size. A Big Boy is not necessarily in any hurry, but the FEFs can do any job. Better engineering!!😁

I love how the whistles sound on the 844 and 4014

I’ve seen the UP Big Boy 4014 in person and running. The shear size and amount of power it puts out is incredible.

By American standards, these trains were pretty small. If they were pulling much more massive trains, big boy would win through strength. However, the FEF-3 (844) is still extremely strong, and also incredibly fast.

Funny to know, smokebox is from the UK. You can change the whistle on the 844 pretty easy

I would love to see new route reviews on train simulator 2022

The Union Pacific 844s real name is the Union Pacific FEF-3

I did hit the like button LaserJet and I’m a big fan of your channel z

Hahahaahahahh! 16 cars is a walk in the park for the Big Boys.

Awesome vid, would love to hear the engines more tho. I don't have this game yet, I need a very good pc I think? One day.... :))

I think it is going to be the big boy and also I love your channel!!

Oliver I think I may have a solution to your problem of the engines exploding, just dont use the smokebox ones, I think you dud say that the smokebox engines have a tendency to explode when you give them too much power

@Dondo_Golden_Rose

2 жыл бұрын

Smokebox’s locomotives are designed to be as realistic as possible, meaning they will face explosions. So like if you’re wanting to get the best possible power test, you would have to use Smokebox’s locomotives. Maybe not making them race would cause them not to explode.

Great race mate. Now you've done the American Strength Challenge, how about the German Strength Challenge with German Steam Locomotives.

Great, now big boy vs big boy vs big boy

Great video

So I saw a documentary on big boy they said that they were pulling over 5 miles long so I looked up how many train cars were in a mile and it was between 90 and 150 so I estimated at least 500 minimum car was what big boys were pulling for that reason they were built for

amazing video

Speed isn’t everything, but being reliable and useful is.

The Big Boy, the C&O Allegheny, the N&W Y6b, the PRR Q2, they were all extremely powerful locomotives, in close competition with one another.

I have a suggestion for you. You should play railroad online. Your vids are amazing and I an a big fan

Oliver u are crazy u literally read my mind I was gonna comment this race wot

Surprises always come😮

It is common is America to see 100-200 car trains

Big Boy has a top speed of 80 mph while an FEF3 could do 124 mph

@rayhankazianga6817

2 жыл бұрын

Nah. The world record for a non-streamlined steam locomotive is 108 mph, held by a Gresley A3. FEF3s could feasibly handle close to 105 IMO though.

Another amazing American Steam locomotive is the PRR S1 Duplex, you shuld try it. It would be awesome to see a video about it

It would be neat to see him do a pulling test with a British 0-4-0 tank engine and an American 0-4-0 saddle-tank

Video idea: do another american race between the union pacific 844 vs the Milwaukee F7 steam locomotive

I think that's why American trains have lots of power because they have to carry lots of freight while getting there quick to keep production moving along

fun fact: big boy could pull a 2 mile long train and still goes 60mph

Think about it this way though the big boy uses far more fuel despite making more tractive effort to negate the long consist

I want the 844 to win because it is faster than and almost strong as the Big Boy. Did you know that there were 25 Big Boys, 105 Challengers, and 45 FEF class 4-8-4s of the Union Pacific.

the only differnce between ts22 and ts21 is theres differnt routs, been like that for years. there just milking money

Laserjet, amazing video, but may I ask you on quick question. Even though it's train simulator 2022, it is exactly the same map as the train simulator 2021 map.

You should do a strength test between the Union Pacific 844 and a New York Central Niagara steamer

Big boyyy!

Each train on each railway have the Mae whistle to tell them apart

Also fun fact 844 is still on the union Pacific's roster

I don’t mind if engines are on 60 percent power. But when I drive the 844 on my Train Simulator computer, I’m sure that 844 will never blow up.

The last time I saw the 844 it blew up

how about doing a strength test (nyc hudson vs n&w 611 with this consist of freight cars).

it sort of depends

@Lazer Jet, just a heads up coal burning engines burn coal and water (obviously) while Oil burning engines burn a specific type of oil (mainly bunker oil) and water (the oil replaces the coals location in the tender) and the extra tender u had on N&W #611 is an auxiliary tender. The Auxiliary tenders for USA locomotives hold nothing but water for extra water capacity because there r no water towers anywhere across the United States except for specific areas like the C&T, D&S narrow gauge and other preserved railroads across the usa. Also the N&W #611 can only operate on the east coast of the united states because the east coast has an abundant coal supply where the rest of the usa doesn't plus there r no coal depot's for her anywhere else other than the east coast as a result all modern preserved steam locomotives are converted to burn oil to go anywhere in the united states

Hey Lazer Jet, what is up? So regarding your steam engine races, have you tried a strength challenge with the Flying Scotsman and express passenger coaches?

One of the trains looks like hero from Thomas.

yaaa you used the union pacific 844 maybe next make 844 85%

In irl the big boy would still win because they ARE the strongest steam engine and was meant for massive trains of freight.

If you are going to do a strength challenge, programming the locomotives so that they don’t over work themselves would be best. Edit: nevermind that’s exactly what he did lol

Do tornado vs flying Scotsman vs mallard

Stealth train? What's 844 gonna do, pull a secret scrapping operation on 4449 and 611?

put some steep hills in and run the test again and the out come will be lot different

Why didn't you put the UP Challenger?

Lazar jet I have a question when do you think they might add in old and extinct steam engines like AA20 or 2-10-10-2 trains

By the way the 844 is a fes class 3 and there are 1 and 2 and 844 was the last 1 of the fes class but it can go 90 mph on fright cars
