Скачать или смотреть UP Big Boy 4014 Stop at Luling, TX - Departure

I had a great day seeing the Big Boy in San Antonio on November 5th, 2019, getting up close and personal access to the locomotive, meeting engineer and head of the Steam Program Ed Dickens, and walking through the Experience the Union Pacific museum car. But with only one caveat! We arrived right at 10am, but the train was just backing into the station, so we missed it coming in, seeing the Big Boy in action! The train was supposed to get there at 10:30, we but got there at 10!

The explanation I got talking to Union Pacific people was they weren't sure how long it would take to get through town, how the dispatch would treat them, etc, and they ended up getting in early.

So on November 6th, we drove down to Luling. And wouldn't you know it, the train was late that day! But the good thing is, we got to see Big Boy arriving and departing in all its glory! The work during the stop was interesting to watch as well. They were doing lubrication, and adjusting some component, but not sure which one. It was a great day and one I'll remember forever.

I will post the video footage from San Antonio later, after I decide how I want to post it, all in one video, or separated into segments. But I just wanted to get this great footage of the Big Boy's stop at Luling that I got to see the entirety of, posted, as soon as possible.

Arrives at video start. Departure at timestamp 24:36
