I understand most people want to hear about horsepower but I want to know the torque on that bad boy

How did they move this ???

The music is okey,but where is the sound of the locömotive in that video? Trucky.

Cool 😎 ❤

Are these still in the current location? I’d love to go out and get some pics of it. I rode the the FEVR train way back in the early 2000s

Cabooses have been around since the dawn of railroading... the locomotive is a gp60. Nice video but, Please do not walk on the tracks ever...

Always fun to see Big Boy. Lucky they still do these trips across the country.

I think it's stupid that these are out in the elements instead of being enclosed in a glass house type building.

Nothing beats steam power! That's why we still have steam engines on the rails today! #GoBoilermakers

I'm guessing that the Museum of the American Railroad in Frisco, TX is the only other place where you can capture one of these and a Big Boy in the same frame.

Superbe locomotive diesel 👍👍👍

Are they made by GE ?

Whats the weight?

the worlds largest steam engine and diesel engine belong to union pacific.

And the worlds largest steam train next to it

That's a model I have to have!

❤❤❤❤❤

Unbelievable! Well worth the stop on our trip to Arizona. Jack and Myrna Brandon Manitoba Canada.

Which had more tractive force, this or Big Boy?

💪🚂

Beyond impressive. The GM V-16 two-cycle diesels were around 10,645 cubic inches each. RPM was limited to about 950 because the reciprocating internal parts were so heavy and massive. These units were a sight to behold. For UP locomotives, excess power was never enough!

It was never restored it is being scrapped at the site

It would be nice if another Union Pacific FEF locomotive can be restored to operation without those smoke deflectors.

I’ve been on that locomotive and the big boy that’s there. Before they were moved to their current location they were at a park and you could actually get on them both and get in the cabs. This was back in the early 90’s when I was a teenager.

Hmm, I suspect two locomotives double heading with a little bit of CGI mixed in.

I got to run the UP 6936 back in 2007. Well .... sort of. I worked for the Soo Line Railroad as a locomotive engineer at the Soo's former Milwaukee Road yard at Bensenville, IL (now retired). There is an annual event held around Memorial Day called Railroad Daze in nearby Franklin Park, IL. The Soo's tracks go by where the event is held and consequently brings down the locomotives several Chicago area railroads provide for the public to view on the outside and inside. It was in 2007 I believe when the UP brought in the 6936 for the event. I came to work on a late May, sunny, warm afternoon and there she was sitting on the service track at the east end of Bensenville (waiting to be moved to Railroad Daze the next day). When my lunch break came up, I used it to inspect the idling Centennial. Seeing that there was about 300 ft of clear track ahead I thought, "what the heck." So, I took off the handbrake inside the cab, positioned both isolation switches to "Run," inserted my reverser on the control stand and moved to forward, released the independent brakes and away I went about 100 feet, stopped and then tied it down. It wasn't a mainline run, but hey, at least I can say I operated the largest and most powerful diesel locomotive in the world!

That cab has SO MUCH room. Would love to be able to operate this bad boy.

Great video

I have the last stainless steel off southern pacific railroad it’s from California and it’s real and original 1937-1969 I will bring it to utah and I’m going to present it during the golden spike reenactment

I’ll never forget the first time, as a kid sitting in the window seat , a yellow wall is passing, then a break , then more yellow…yellow, what was that? I went to find my dad!

*The Fastest Steam Locomotives! PRR T1

RIP FEVR #1219. The Nebraska Railroad Museum was in extreme debt. FEVR #1219 was scrapped by it's new owner due to the NRM being in very bad financial condition.

The Big Boy Steam Locomotive was large , This is collosal and a Beast of a Diesel locomotive 😮Damn , Impressive size and wow quite a walk to the front ,These must be the size of Two football Pitches 😮Think big stateside ,Oh yes ,Greetings from Scotland 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿💖🇺🇲 Legends and Remember that TV series Monster Moves where one is next to a steam loco both pulled up a hill by Large trucks .Clue me in as to where these are ?😮

Cab is locked?

Great video 🙏 it is nice to see what goes on behind the scenes 👏👍

Iowa Power and Light became Mid-American Energy, Inc. A merger of Iowa Power & Light with Iowa-Illinois Gas & Electric and Iowa Pubic Service. Nothing to do with the Iowa State Railroad. That was the old Rock Island Railroad.

What is that odd piece of steel hanging off the middle of the right rear truck? It looks like a rain diverter!

I Hope 814 Can Get Restored..

Been there years ago. Great view of hwy 80.

I hate to be the guy but Big boy ain't biggest, heaviest, or strongest, or longest

These used to roll by my house when I was a kid. Super cool to watch

😮11 survivors………. I wonder if there are any in working order

There's one of these in our shop and i'm going to do some electrical repairs on it...

I've been to that place in Omaha when I was younger

If you go the wrong way and end up on an old man's property, he spoke like a tour guide and told us it is very normal for people to take the wrong turn into the garden. I swear best wholesome interaction I ever had.

Where are the centennial locomotives located these days?

if you havent watched the vids of them being moved and set at location, it’s a cool vid.

Wish they would have built roofs over both engines.

It is great that UP 814 was preserved for display observation, the fef class is a famous representative of Union Pacific rr steam power.
