Recorded June 30, 2024 9:45am

Steam Only! Awesome.

I'm guessing there are more freight cars in the consist for breaking? To compensate for no diesel locomotive. If you know, let me know in the comments.

Here is Ed Dickens, Senior Manager Union Pacific Heritage Operations talking about why a diesel is (usually 😃) in the consist;

   • TSG Multimedia Podcast July 2019 With Ed D...  .

He does say, “There Will be Times When You See Steam Only. We Like to Run Steam Only Too.”
Heck Yeah!

Today was the first time for me seeing the UP Heritage Operations running Steam Only!

--------------------------------------------------------------------

The 4014 is the world's only operating Big Boy Locomotive.

Basic safety reminders from UP;

Stand back at least 25 feet from all railroad tracks.
Never assume tracks are abandoned or inactive -
ALWAYS expect a train.
