Big Boy

[Mysterio2276]

WMG = We're Mostly Gay. What was the audio track they felt so butt-hurt over?

[UnionPacific4012]

@Mysterio2276 It was Holiday by Green Day

[UnionPacific4012]

@Mysterio2276 Sorry I was wrong...the song was "I guess you're right"

[Squarerig]

Americans should be proud of such wonderful productions!"Look on my works,ye mighty and despair!"

I climbed 4012 many times at steamtown, when it was in Vermont. NIce to see it here with the others! Hope they get one of those running

[kenp3L]

Maintenance nightmare.

[chestybondrod]

I would love to see one restored and under steam.

[jeremylee99100]

[kiwicockers]

Im so pleased in another life i took my boilermans test on the New Zealand Railways when they ran steam

[sunstarfire]

Stupid idiots using Youtube as Flickr! replacement. Dislike.

[TxCowDog]

I wish someone would do something with the Big Boy at Dallas Fair Park before its too late and she's too far gone to save. She may already be lost.

[Stussmeister]

Awesome video! I've seen #4012 up close at Steamtown National Historic Site, and it was EPIC!! I'm such a railroad nut, I even have a pin with "Union Pacific 4012" on the front, the Pentrex "Big Boy Collection" on DVD, and a marble mini sculpture of that marvelous giant!!

[bluesguitardude]

first picture, that ain't a big boy, right?

[UnionPacific4012]

@bluesguitardude Yes, you are right. It is only a similar engine.

[Ahzlon]

@UnionPacific4012 First one looked like the Challanger. 4-6-6-4...

[IKAPPYI1]

first pic is a C&O Allenghy

[CabooseKid]

@bluesguitardude That was a C&O H-8 2-6-6-6 Allegheny, It was in some aspects larger than the 4-8-8-4's. For example it was capable of 7500hp at 40mph, compared to the 4-8-8-4's max of 6200hp. The engine was also 3-6 thousand pounds heavier, but the total weight when combined with the tender was a few hundred tousand less. Sadly only 2 of this class was preserved.

[UzumakiNarutoX3]

Would like to see it running again...

[Megablaze9292]

Very ambitious

Great triaaaaaaaaaan, solute!



[produKtNZ]

I require actual video ^^

[Laofse]

You gotta love those good old steam locomotives.

[lexyzimus]

Wouldn't have died so many people if they dropped the big boy instead of the little boy ...

[asdffggi]

[FireFighterrock24]

[Kyatisback14]

The biggest engine in the world and still is, right Union Pacific4012

[lde2100]

Locomotives RULEZZ!!!

[super64mandown]

thx

[super64mandown]

what is this song mix thing

[UnionPacific4012]

The first song is "Din Din Do (Little Child)" of Habit Koté and Bamada and the second is "I Guess You're Right" of The Posies.

[UnionPacific4012]

Thank you

[nardp96]

the allighani was stronger than the big boy with about 160 more horse power but big boy was the biggest of the time.

[UNIONPACIFIC1]

ALLEGHENY DUDE

[OWN97ch]

Awesome but it is not the biggest engine in the World the Triplex is the biggest it is a 4-6-6-6-2 But the Big boy is only a 4-8-8-4.

[DeltaPhi79]

Was is the biggest to go into service?

[OWN97ch]

I Don't know if the triplex ever went into service but there were plans to build one so basically the big boy is the biggest

[DeltaPhi79]

This is just one thing I don't get. I think the Big Boy was only the heaviest or longest in service. To be THE biggest, it would have to be tallest, longest, bigger boiler and firebox, and heaviest.

[OWN97ch]

true

[nardp96]

i think the alligani was taller because they said to get the tender to fit on a chesipeack and ohio trun table they had to rase the hight of the tender. and raise the locomotive hight as well.

[xxxxxxxxxxhardy]

Interesting ,but surely the first shot is of a C and O Allegheny class 2-6-6-6

[PressPlay2Go]

Oh Magic.

[bcbdrums]

fascinating!

[adelfred]

That is such a beautiful and strong machine. Thank you for posting this. Shared it with a couple of my friends.
