As part of Union Pacific's celebration of the transcontinental railroad being finished, they are sending Big Boy, UP 4014, to tour across the system. In this video, we'll start off in Mason City, Iowa, and chase it all the way to Saint Paul, MN.
We'll see Big Boy in many different places as it traverses the various country sides, farms, and towns along the way. In Manly, Iowa, the Iowa Northern Railroad staged its E units for a unique side by side shot with Big Boy as it pulled up. Both of these units were built in 1941, and mere months apart! Another highlight of this chase includes some AMAZING sounds of Big Boy working hard up hill at Castle Rock, MN. Every runby was amazing, and the classic steam engine was a sight to be seen.
A huge thanks to the dedicated people at Union Pacific that made this possible for all to view, and enjoy.
