@@TrainGuru iwas there the day this happened ,,it was one awesome sound hearing that steam engine unleash it's power , i have been close to 4014 several times since it was restored and it's an absolute marvel to see in operation
I would also like to point out that the 4014 did experience some wheel slip while pushing the other train. considering Big Boy don't slip, that train was HEAVY. I still want to see the Big Boy pull 143 container cars (or more) by himself
This is my favorite part of 4014's 2023 excursion, because in fact: I portrayed 4014 as Edward (my favorite Thomas character) four to five years before this scene occurred (though I portrayed Daylight 4449 as Gordon). Notthern 844 as Henry (Super Rescue) Big Boy 4014 as Edward (Edward being old, weak, and slow while 4014 being large, heavy, and expensive, but both proved to be useful)
