Big Boy 4014 and 844 Doubleheader Steam Locomotives to Ogden

Описание: Fantastic sights as the Union Pacific 4-8-8-4 Big Boy No. 4014 leads a doubleheader with UP's classic FEF-3 4-8-4 844 from Evanston, Wyoming through Weber Canyon into Ogden, Utah on 8 May 2019. The steam locomotives headed to Ogden for ceremonies commemorating the 150th anniversary of the Golden Spike completing the transcontinental railroad in 1869. Watch as ethereal steam swirls around the Big Boy in near-snow conditions at Evanston, followed by classic run-by passes in spring meadows beside the Weber River. Union Pacific is to be congratulated for having the steam program that has such a good, positive public impact. We had four people with cameras at various locations; hope you enjoy the results. And, to answer questions about the diesel, it is not needed to help move the train, but it supplies auxiliary electric power for some of the cars and it can help with dynamic braking on downgrades, and theoretically could provide motive power in the event of a breakdown.
