Ferroequinology's video: UP Big Boy Comes Through Elmhurst

@UP Big Boy Comes Through Elmhurst

Filmed on July 26, 2019 The 4-8-8-4 "Big Boy" is the largest steam engine ever built. Now that number 4014 has been restored, one of them is operational. Here, the train comes through the Metra station in Elmhurst IL as part of it's trip across the Midwest, showing off the newly restored engine. As a side note, the Metra announcement near the beginning of the video is the funniest I've heard. I can imagine someone sitting in an office downtown, on the phone with dispatch. "You've lined a WHAT through Elmhurst!? Now?? I've got a schedule to keep!" (grumble grumble "reason for delay: experiencing problems with the dispatching department") __________________________________________________________ More Big Boy videos are coming: ~4014 Chase from Friesland WI to Butler WI (July 25) ~4014 Chase from Butler WI to West Chicago IL (July 26) ~4014 in Elmhurst (this video) ~4014 Switching in West Chicago, and a Sharp Curve (July 26) ~4014 Leaving West Chicago (July 30) ~A Meet in the Middle of Nowhere (July 30)
