Big Boy 4014 Chase & Inside "Experience the Union Pacific" Rail Car (CSTAT-Houston)

WATCH IN HD

Starting in Bryan / College Station, Texas, I chased Union Pacific 4014 (Big Boy) all the way down to Houston. In each clip, the location is listed with whistle stops in Navasota and Hempstead. My favorite shots were A&M's campus, the Navasota River bridge, and from above in Houston Heights as the train entered the city. Once in Houston at the Amtrak station, the train was set up as an exhibit and I was the first in line to tour the Promontory rail car which houses "Experience the Union Pacific"- a sort of museum piece with descriptions about the railroad's history, numbers, services, and equipment. Close up shots of the locomotive itself are also integrated. Listed below is the organization of the video. Feel free to skip around or watch it all the way through.
