markoles Posted February 7, 2014 Share Posted February 7, 2014 This is so exciting! I know it is years off before this locomotive rolls again under its own power, but wow! The foam is going to be feet deep on both sides of the UP mainline on that first run... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rayman4449 Posted February 7, 2014 Author Share Posted February 7, 2014 Yes it is Mark and agree! You can be sure I will be there for the first run! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jerry B44 Posted March 2, 2014 Share Posted March 2, 2014 Saw this on the UP Steam Page: After more travel preparations are made over the next several months, No. 4014 will complete the journey home to Cheyenne later in the spring, where the restoration process will begin. For the return to Cheyenne, No. 4014 will be pushed and pulled by modern diesel electric UP freight locomotives. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rayman4449 Posted March 4, 2014 Author Share Posted March 4, 2014 Thanks for sharing Jerry. I've been trying to decide if I'm going to drive over to see through Colorado. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
benshell Posted March 4, 2014 Share Posted March 4, 2014 I'm still anxious to hear the date of the next move. I'm considering driving down and chasing it over Cajon Pass (along with a million other railfans, I'm sure. :S). I just have a lot going on over the next few months though as I'm prepping for the West Coast Regional Meet in Sacramento in June, as well as some other short trips planned, so it will depend on the actual date of the Big Boy move.

Rayman4449 Posted March 4, 2014 Author Share Posted March 4, 2014 How far are you away from Cajon? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jerry B44 Posted March 6, 2014 Share Posted March 6, 2014 Map shows it going through Vegas, up to Salt Lake and over to Cheyenne. http://www.up.com/aboutup/special_trains/steam/trace.cfm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rayman4449 Posted March 6, 2014 Author Share Posted March 6, 2014 Thanks for sharing that Jerry, for some reason I thought it would go through CO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
benshell Posted March 7, 2014 Share Posted March 7, 2014 How far are you away from Cajon? California is a big state... it's probably 7 or 8 hours. My thought is that I'll spend a night in San Bernardino, chase the 4014 for a day, and drive home late the same night. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteamPower4ever Posted April 21, 2014 Share Posted April 21, 2014 I'm still anxious to hear the date of the next move. I'm considering driving down and chasing it over Cajon Pass (along with a million other railfans, I'm sure. :S). I just have a lot going on over the next few months though as I'm prepping for the West Coast Regional Meet in Sacramento in June, as well as some other short trips planned, so it will depend on the actual date of the Big Boy move. The schedule for the move is posted on the UP web site. Over Cajon Pass on April 28th and arrival in Cheyenne on May 8th. Just follow the crowd of cars loaded with people with cameras and lenses. 4014 will be somewhere in the middle of the pile. On a YouTube video of the move to Bloomington, I noticed a couple of Union Pacific Police cars. UP has their own police department?

Rayman4449 Posted April 21, 2014 Author Share Posted April 21, 2014 Looking forward to the move! Yes all the major railroads here have their own police forces. Called the 'Railroad Police'. Thanks for sharing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

markoles Posted April 23, 2014 Share Posted April 23, 2014 Ok, Raymond, time for you to find a reason to be in SLC so we can get complete coverage of this move. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chuck Posted April 25, 2014 Share Posted April 25, 2014 From what I've read they're not going over Cajon..they're taking the Mojave Sub which means it'll be going thru Tehachapi?? Here's the discussion...http://ogrforum.ogaugerr.com/topic/up-4014-and-4884-on-way-to-ca Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chuck Posted April 25, 2014 Share Posted April 25, 2014 I wonder if a cable channel will make a movie of 4014's move and write a song about it?? Like Monster Moves did for The Train From Bloemfontein?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
