Union Pacific Big Boy #4014 Working HARD Between Greeley, CO & Nunn, CO, Pacing, Stack Talk (9/7/21)

READ:
Didn't think I could top the pacing footage from down south last month, but boy was I wrong. The crew decided to run the 4014 relatively hard on the last day of the Big Boy 2021 Tour, and with two diesels to hold her back with dynamic braking, they did just that (they picked up the 1989 in Denver; she would be power for the excursion consist back to Omaha from Cheyenne). The whole way north out of Greeley, the grade is 1.0% uphill and she's running with about half throttle and 35% reverse gear cutoff; the diesels are holding train speed to about 40 mph or so. It appears they've managed to patch the exhaust injector up enough to keep it from leaking too badly as well as there is barely any overflow water from the appliance in this video.

Made for a great finish to this 10 state, 4000 mile tour. Many thanks to the great men and women at the Union Pacific for putting on such a show for the public! Enjoy =)
