    Great video! I have a few questions if you know the answers. I am assuming that the tags hung on the flag are the tags for the various crew members who are working on the engine and once they have finished their task the tag is removed? Also, the gentleman who is "oiling" the various parts of the engine is doing so? Thanks and this is a great video.

    Hey, it was great! No problems that I saw and besides, you cannot be that short. I'm 5'4 and you are probably taller! "-). The problem with "The Boss" coming out for a photo op was glaring. Firstly it was to see if the $1.0+ million they put into Big Boy is worth the investment and the expense to the SHAREHOLDERS and secondly, it was to find out how the old girl WORKS! It is one thing to run a railroad company but quite another NOT to know the workings of your most important and BIGGEST non-commercial money maker. I know the guy was a brakeman way back when, but when the Engineers have to SHOW the gent how his ASSET works, it shows his decided LACK of knowledge of the company's showpiece! Great filming and many thanks!

    Really? I thought he was going to go for a real cab ride between display locations or water stops. Three mph back and forth in the yard? How lame. If this had been either Robert or Graham Claytor, or even Wick Moorman, who were all fully steam-qualified engineers, they would have shown up in full work wear, with well-worn engineer's gloves, and told Ed, "I've got this", and run the train at speed between display stops. Difference between a real railroader and a bean counter as CEO. But thanks for letting the rest of us enjoy the Beast.

    And unfortunately, this is why steam railroading has become almost non-existent in NM as AMTRAK (run by an executive who used to run the FAA and knows NOTHING about trains) will NOT allow the 2926 on their tracks.

    I hate to burst all of your bubbles, but look this up on KZread "Union Pacific Railroad Big Boy 4014 Steam Engine in Feather River Canyon with bridges" That video was shot on July 11th, and guess what, the Diesel was back. Don't know why, but there it is. Either the electronic package that was stashed in the tender failed or malfunctioned, or the Diesel is need for help with braking after all. I will find out when it returns to Cheyenne, since I live here.

    Pretty awesome. As an "Original Transcon RR" enthusiast, this area reminds one of a photo A.J. Russell took in 1868, approx., showing Dan Casement, Cornelius Bushnell, his daughter, etc., while UP was being built. Russell's photos can be found on OMCA site, are quite remarkable, upon navigating past their intro page. Another rephotography opportunity is at Green River, where A.J. exposed several wet plates of Jack Casement and his guys building the permanent bridge there. THAT photo was published in Frank Leslie's magazine, revealing Russell's rise as one of the first "Photo-journalists" of his day....quite remarkable, given those times of Manifest Destiny, and limits of the technology of the era. Thanks for the video. Subscribed.😇
