Big Boy 4014 Returns to California
Posted by HybridHobby on Wednesday, October 9, 2019 4:31 PM
Big Boy 4014 has returned to California!
 
For everyone who wasn't able to make it out yesterday, here is some footage of the chase across the Mojave Desert. What a magical experience it was, truly something to never forget.
 
Enjoy! Hope to catch some more footage while she is in the area for the next week.

Thanks for the video, nicely done!

It sure looks a lot better out on the 'road than it did in that park, doesn't it?

What a difference it is from when it was stored at the fairgrounds. I couldn't believe my eyes, a modern day marvel for sure.

Here's the visitation schedule: https://www.up.com/heritage/steam/schedule/index.htm

This weekend it will travel over Cajon Pass to Barstow and back for museum excursions; beware of insane chase traffic ....

Next Tuesday it will depart east on the Yuma sub.
