Gotta say I LOVE the audible enthusiasm people are showing for 4014! Wonder how many future railroaders were started on their path this day!

Greatest steam locomotive of all time. Thanks.

That's 1.2 million pounds of iron and steel folks!

Thanks for sharing! Good footage. I saw #4014 in West Chicago yesterday and wasn’t able to see the departure today. Again, thanks for sharing!!!

BigBoy has reached RockStar status.

Thanks for sharing a magnificent piece of machinery

So cool ! My mom and dad was there that day. From TN.

It seems like the people forgot that they are standing on live railroad

I really would have liked to been there that day, just to here all the radio chatter. I was lucky enough to see her and 844 together returning to Cheyenne after her maiden trip.

Gorgeous! No other word for it. Except magnificent.

This was so cool... I'm glad I got to see it. Working the snack stand was also fun too :)

Beautiful restoration; very impressive locomotive. Hope it shows up somewhere north, maybe Vermont or New York ?  Just dreaming !

Saw it twice multiple times that day. Was at Rochelle, then saw it again when wr chased it on a side road for a few miles, and then once again when it was going over the bridge into Iowa.

Great footage from a different perspective than I had!
