Union Pacific Loco 4014 ran for the first time in preservation under its own steam 2nd May
Incredible machines.Not really into the American scene but who doesn't love Big Boy?
Yeah, she is now a oil-burner like 844 & 3895. They all burn No.5 (aka Bunker B) oil.I believe 4014 is now an oil burning locomotive?

Union Pacific are to be commended for this remarkable achievement. The Big Boys (and by extension the Challengers) are among my favourite American locomotives just for their sheer size, immense power and ability to shake the earth. Even though 3895 is now second fiddle in the size department, her power is still nothing to be sneezed at:
Looks and sounds insane! The literal definition of 'Rolling Thunder'. The only other locos that come close are the Soviet/Ukrainian TE10 diesel locos, but those are for another thread for another section of the forum lolThat looks insane!
