Oh, won't you take me home tonight?...
7/30/2019 - 7/31/2019: Not even a decade ago, it was thought to be impossible for a Union Pacific Big Boy locomotive to ever operate under it's own steam again. Now, following the legendary restoration work by the UP steam team, UP no. 4014 steams once more! After the initial maiden voyage from Cheyenne to Ogden for the 150th anniversary of the Golden Spike, UP 4014 would tour the Midwest, eventually finding itself on the C&NW in Illinois and Iowa, which was, before this excursion, totally uncharted territory for a Big Boy under it's own power (keywords: "under it's own power". I know they rolled DIT on the CNW after being built). I partook in the 2 day long chase between Chicago and Des Moines, capturing the locomotive in many different locations along the way... or at least as many as I was able given the traffic! This chase was crazy, there were people EVERYWHERE, forming crowds at nearly every single crossing and creating traffic jams I never thought I'd see in rural Illinois and Iowa. Although to be honest, it was nice to see so many people out to show support for the UP steam program and the 4014, as annoying as they could be for photographers/chasers. But hey, this wasn't just for us, and I'll take what I got no problem! So without further ado, please enjoy the video I captured on my chase between Nelson, IL and Short Line Junction, Des Moines, IA!
