Shots of the Union Pacific 4014 (aka Big Boy). 4014 is making it's way around the US for our 250 birthday next month.
I wish I didn't screw up the video of 4014's whistle directly next to our car. No video will ever do it justice. You had to be there man XD
4014 blew our doors off for the 2nd time on the right side
In this video you can see 4014 is accompanied by Union Pacific no. 1776 (yellow) and Norfolk Southern no. 1776 (red) diesel locomotives. Both EMD SD70 series GE powered with an estimated combined horsepower of about 8000.
If you listen closely, you'll hear that the no. 1776 diesel engines are idling during the pass.
Combined, the currently configured Big Boy train has a total of over 16,000 horsepower
