I salute Union Pacific and all of there efforts to preserve a bit of the past for future generations. Our country would be a better place if we had more corporations who valued the men and machines that made this country great.

You're spoiling us with all of this cool footage! :)

There's only one thing that impresses me more than 4041 and it's the territory of your Country . It's breath taking ! Thanks Nick .

Ed's opening her up significantly more on these trips; counting driver rotations per second in some of these clips, she's touching 60! She's running so, so well. Great video!!

60? Where'd you get that figure? The max I'm seeing is 3.7 rps, which comes out to 45 mph.

Oh that’s nowhere near 60. That’s 45.

The rods there are moving no faster than they are in my own pacing videos. Throw it in a video editor, portion out exactly 1 second, and count the rotations frame by frame. 3.7 rotations/second is 45 mph.

It would be nice to see 4014 and 844 together again with 6936 in the middle there to help out when needed. That would be the most awesome train you can build at UP.

Nice video, Nick. When filming 4014 one has to put up with the crowds. Glad to see towards the end you where able to get a couple of clips in your style, letting the train come into the view finder and letting it go out without moving the camera! Thanks for doing this and sharing.

Still waiting for 4014 in the Pacific Northwest.

Awesome Video

Very cool I love trains

look at Ed handle that thing like he's been doing it all his life............... probably drives it in his sleep too......

I Love Your Channel

Sweet!

Hi from little old New Zealand! Love your work. Question : Are you able to capture a morning fire light up / raise steam / loco prep? Many thanks!

Wish it would have made a stop in Phoenix

Will the freight cars be on the train for the whole trip?

She seems like shes not under her own power. Are they just trying to get it to LA and then start using her?

Why does the footage at 1:30 appear to be westbound?

Can someone please provide a comprehensive explanation of all the noises this beast is making. Aside from the most obvious it sounds like there's some kinda pumps running when she sstopped

Those "pumps" are air compressors.

@@johnburger1681 ahh ok that makes sense. I would imagine it would need to maintain air pressure in the system for the brakes and what not. I was hoping you had knowledge of what make and model these pumps were. Also I would think this thing would have some sorta pump to circulate water into the boiler as well as a way to move fuel oil into the furnace etc etc

For some reason I found the rail fans in this video annoying....
