Union Pacific Big Boy 4014 Wells, Elko, Nevada July 6 2024 Airailimages American Steam 4-8-8-4 ALCO
Big Boy's back on the road, and we caught up with this mammoth marvel of steam locomotion on the way to Wells, Nevada, on July 6, 2024. The pride of the Union Pacific Railroad's steam preservation program, this huge 4-8-8-4 steamer was restored to run after decades of static display at Pomona, California. First post-restoration runs were in 2019. Search the Airailimages Channel for more Big Boy videos from earlier runs we think you will enjoy.
And please subscribe to the Airailimages Channel on RUclips, and give this video a Thumbs Up. We appreciate it. So what do you think of Big Boy in action? Please post your comments below.

    Cool video. It's neat to think that each one of those bombs may have saved an American soldier... The A-3 variant in the last scene was hooking up to launch with the top of the canopy open. Is that because they did not have ejection seats (hence the moniker, "All-3" dead)? Thanks for posting.

      The Army Air Forces played off the rivalry between B-17 and B-24 aircrews deliberately, and maybe with a bit of humor. In the B-17 pilot's manual, for the section on the procedure for doing a go-around for a missed approach, the artwork shows a damaged B-24 on the runway as the cause of the B-17's need to go around. In the B-24 pilot's manual, the go-around artwork depicts an obvious B-17 disabled on the runway as the reason the B-24 must go around.

      We do our best to use ambient engine audio whenever possible. Sometimes, we have to delete commercial music that can be heard over a PA system. So occasionally, we insert royalty free music in our videos if ambient audio is not usable, but we strive for the real thing. At Reno, a pit pass would get you close to where the racers are worked on. For start-up, they were moved out on a ramp with no public access, but within view.
