Yall like trains? You're gonna love this...

Get a load of this. Union Pacific Big Boy #4014 and #844 4-8-4 Berkshire double headed. This is after an extensive restoration effort on #4014. #4014 is the largest steam locomotive in the world. It has 135,375 lbf of tractive effort. Its weight on the driver wheels alone is 540,000 pounds.

Now, I was aware they were restoring this thing, but its finish date was out sometime in 2020. I don't know who, but somebody who loves trains with DEEP pockets stepped up and sped up the process.

Here's the video.




Here's the wiki page regarding the Big Boy class if you're interested. Very cool stuff.
