Listen to Big Boy's Mighty Whistle!

Big Boy 4014, the largest operational steam locomotive in the world, rolled into Utah for the sesquicentennial celebration of the completion of the transcontinental railroad. Turn up the volume and bask in Big Boy's mighty whistle!

As an American it isn't flags, songs or guns that make me tear up.

It's this.

Whistle translation: I’m back ladies and gents.

Letting the world know he roams the rails once again ! Welcome Back Big Boy #4014 !

That Hancock 3 Chime is probably my favorite whistle of all time.

Heartfelt kudos to the very talented men and women who lent their time, talent, sweat, labor, and expertise in restoring this awesome piece of American RR history! Also praise to the UP brass who funded, encouraged, and lent their steam shop to make this dream come true for all Americans! Nothing like the 4014! I have seen it up close and personal!

THE BEAST RESTORED... and then back home.

This whistle is literally louder than my hairdryer, I'm playing this vid when I'm using the dryer without earphones, and the dryer is max power, what a beauty steam legend... King of steams

Hard to believe that this train was newly on these rails a century and a half ago; look at our technology today! We've advanced so quickly! Modern trains are unrecognizable compared to something like that!

[cornholio]

This is just music 2 my ears
We're all glad the 1 of the last UP steam giants still lives n romes
Can't wait 2 c the 3985 back up in steam n following the big boy on excursions

[Isaac-xdse]

Here the power and the rumble of the big big boy

[decrobVR]

0:16, I love how to people cheer at 1: the biggest / one of the most popular steam train ever, 2: hearing big boy 4014's legendary whistle after it not being used in almost 60 years back when this video was new. Big boy 4014 is and will always be a legend to all railroad fans and the Union Pacific

[jameshigham]

Im from the UK and love the whistle on the American locos what a beast

[POTC_Oscarandfriens]

ALL HAIL BIG BOY, WHOSE MIGHTLY WHISTLE SHALL SCARE OFF RAIL-HATERS FOR GENERATIONS TO COME!

[jacksonturk]

The UP 4014 Big Boy steam locomotive is my favorite steam train.
