UP Big Boy 4014, 844 at Stowe Creek, near Evanston, WY 5-13-19
Union Pacific's 4014 and 844 in Stowe Creek Valley, Wyoming, on the grade to the Altamont and Aspen tunnels. Also, the run by on 5-12-19 near Wahsatch, UT. The special 150th anniversary steam powered train is returning to Cheyenne from a trip to Ogden.

Considering the massive interest from people all over the world who have made huge efforts to come to witness this awesome event of history and to have filmed it along its entire length from Cheyenne to Ogden and return (which is an absolute coup for the UP Marketing Department) I am amazed that AMTRAK made the decision to no longer let the beautifully restored J class 611 as well as the restored Daylight 4449 run their magnificent runs on their home territories in the awesome Smoky Mountains and along the Columbia River respectively. Sights to behold, especially watching it on a 75" in 4K. Hopefully, even though it is a financial decision, like always, I hope somehow that these other two beautiful steam locomotives get to do what the Big Boy 4014 and the 844 have just pulled off in the future and that rail fans will film and document those events in 4K for many of us people who are a long way away. And as a footnote can you imagine if these same two locos travelling through the Donner Pass etc in the dead of winter through thick snow how awesome that would look on camera. Just a few thoughts from the Train Lord in South Australia. Cheers, I have thoroughly enjoyed binge watching everything that people have put on KZread of this event, different qualities of filming (and yes people everywhere which actually adds to the event) but nevertheless interesting to watch. Keep up the good work.
This train just has a look, like its saying, "Tell me what needs to be moved where and get out of the damn way." Magnificent machine! Great video!
Warms my heart to see so many 4014 videos, I can not see them all with the amount posted, each have great shots and angles of his journey, so good to see the Steam King roaming his domain again.
Such a beautiful sight two of Our National Treasures steaming away across the country.
Thanks for sharing. Being born in 1959, I missed the steam era but I did grow up along the old Southern Pacific LA to New Orleans line.
With all the steam venting from the locomotives.... it looks like a fire breathing monster.... what an incredible machine.
Big Boy is really working (and thundering) now! 4014 must be settling in to smooth running!
I cant get enough how beautiful that machine looks
Such a great sight to see these huge black monsters thundering by. Reminds me of the trains that passed by our farm house when I was a little boy in the early 50's; what excitement!!!
4014 is just lopping along, no stress on it all. Looks like they're having great time too.
Truly "Once in a lifetime experience " . Thanks 👍.
Excellent job capturing both of them beauties!
Nothing much in this country but a couple of magnificent steam locomotives, antelope, jackrabbits, and coyotes. But it is beautiful in its isolation. I made a trip from Seattle, to Colorado Springs in a vintage Buick Coupe with a friend of mine in 2009. The trip took us through Ogden, Evanston, Rock Springs, Rawlins, Laramie and Cheyenne before we headed south to Colorado Springs. Some of the most wide open country I have ever seen.
The strongest steam up locomotive in the world. Amazing
I am impressed. Brought to happy tears. Anyone else have the same reaction?
Coming around the bend!!!!! Beautiful Hills and Mountains!!!!!!
Beautiful video AND audio. Thanks for sharing.
Amazing video! Great video shot of 4014!! Can't wait to see her one day!!
I'm so glad to see these great machines travel together. What a beautiful sight. On the other hand there is also a little taste of bitterness that those great times when mainly those steamers roamed the land are forever past an gone. If i had the money i would revive all those steam engines that are scattered across the land and would found a steam only railroad.
the boys done a great job bring this great engine back to life
