" LAST OF THE GIANTS " UNION PACIFIC RAILROAD BIG BOY STEAM LOCOMOTIVE FILM 71522

Amazing!!

Fun fact: 9000 and 3985 are famous because they appeared in this film.

i love old locomotive documentary's like this

The happy memory from childhood lives again. Long live 4014.

Get rid of the stupid ad's, this video never used to have ad's, now it's ruined.

This program is a classic steam era documentary & a must have for any Union Pacific rr steam era fan.

while the big boy is the heaviest, its not the longest, that title goes to the PRR S1. And the title of most powerful In terms of tractive effort goes to the Norfolk and western Y6B.

The Samson of the Giants

Pretty corny but cool lol

Very interesting. I have a question, which I hope someone can answer. If it requires an automatic stoker to provide enough fuel, and given that the automatic stoker rund from the engine, how do you get it started?

Thank you for uploading this. Haven't seen this video since I was in the single digits!

so Anatole mal a was the one who invented the 4-8-8-4 what a genius he was.

Keep on rolling .

As a matter of fact I have this DVD It is something I enjoy

This was when we could still be proud of America and its leaders.

I was one of the lucky boys. My aunt and uncle ran a truck stop across the Lincoln Highway from the UP mainline approach to Sherman Hill. I'd visit and sit out front waiting for the Big Boys and double headers getting up steam and speed for the grade ahead.

Steam will never truly die

it is so hard to imagine the size of the engine, At the Ford museum
in MI there was a 2662 mallet 72” drivers it was. C&O engine.
I have not had the opportunity to see a BIGBOY but I hope some
day I will.

👍👍👍👍👍

I love these old, color films!

WELCOME TO THE FUTURE BITCHES!!!! WE GOT 4014 BACK BABY! BIG BOY LIVES!

Back in the early 90's I found this on VHS for $80 in a model train store. I was so infatuated with the 4000 series that I gladly handed my money over. Looking back now, I find it hard to believe.

I still have my VHS copy of this movie
Excellent movie from back in the day 😎❤️👍👍👍

Amazing what boiling water can do

I heat my home with between a ton and a ton and a half of coal a season.

And just recently, 4014 proved she can STILL do it!

주황색 디젤전기기관차 쪽문옆에 서울발 여수엑스포행 무궁화호 1517호 탈선사고로 사고현장에서 과다출혈로 안타깝게 숨진 양모 기관사님이 순천역에서 탑승했다.

In 2023, not only did the UP resurrect a T. rex, but lets him hunt.

I was caught square dancing in a round house... Spent 14 years in the fed

They play this in the national railroad museum

She was built for the war effort

Voice of the Narrator

Big Boy is my favorite steam engine.

This particular film transfer seems to have a lot of missing chunks. The most noticeable one is around the 4 minute mark.
