Not a publuic excursion, but it was its break-in run to the fair. Date: 04/03/19 12:38 Re: Is TRAINS encouraging use of a diesel in Big Boy consist? Author: callum_out As I remember it had a few problems but that was a pretty ballsy trip both for them and the railroad,
doubt UP would have the same resolve. Out Date: 04/04/19 15:49 Re: Is TRAINS encouraging use of a diesel in Big Boy consist? Author: ProAmtrak Frisco1522 Wrote:

I believe this subject has been discussed at length, and answered, many times, i.e. south out of Cheyenne towards LaSalle, Colorado.

Why does it matter if there's a diesel in the consist or not? You should be lucky that 4014 is being restored at all. Union Pacific doesn't have to do this at all you know. You should be thankful it's moving with a fire in its firebox and steam in its boiler at all. So what if it's not historically accurate or doesn't need help or whatever other stupid reason can be thought of for why a diesel shouldn't be there? Stop looking a gift horse in the mouth.

That said, it would STILL be nice to hear & watch 4014 work hard enough to produce some REALLY NICE stack talk, like 3985 used to do!
