I am 81 now and, as a boy, I would run down to the tracks and watch each time I heard the whistle of a steam engine. I wanted to be an engineer, but I became an airline Captain instead.

I bet every time Ed opens the throttle on the Big Boy he says "I can't believe I get paid to do this!"....

What a treat - views from the cab, with Ed no less. Excellent coverage of a historic steam engine.

Blowing that whistle is an artform in itself. :)

Great video!! I bet any engineer or fireman that operated a 4000 back in the 1940’s and 50’s never saw a cab that clean and tidy; beautiful restoration of the 4014!!👍🏻👏🏻👏🏻

This must be the most awesome vehicle to drive. I mean, aeroplanes may be bigger, faster and such but with this you are completely in touch with all the mechanics and power.<br>Ed has one of the best jobs in the world.<br>Thanks for sharing this.<br>Simon

Wow, this takes me back to the end of the steam era as a child. Steam locomotives have personality that diesels just don't have. Love'em!
