READ:
Hey guys! We are here with the much anticipated UP 4000 Class "Big Boy" steam locomotive by renown developer "Smokebox". This is part 2 of a 3 part in-depth tutorial series that will familiarize you with all major aspects of the locomotive. Part 2 focuses on the tasks of the engineer in operating this behemoth. You will learn all of the responsibilities of a steam locomotive engineer, as well as various operating techniques that are unique to steam locomotives. Please excuse the audio quirks as I am working to procure better mic equipment for future videos. Enjoy =)
