A Union Pacific Big Boy at Kansas City Union Station. Who would have guessed?! Follow 4014 as she leaves Texas and heads for Kansas City. See her in KC and then follow her on the way back home to Cheyenne. This is truly some amazing footage, including drone footage and a new song about a famous Big Boy predecessor, the “9000” series.
When the Big Boys were built, the Union Pacific had no trackage in Kansas City, so this is truly “foreign” road territory… at least when she was built. Of course, UP is well represented in Kansas City now.

In This 84 Minute Program, the Action Begins in Arkansas, & later through the snow in Kansas & Colorado. In addition, a music video on the 9000 series 4-12-2’s with some clips from the UP Steam Classics series by Greg Scholl is used. There are also stock footages from the big boy collection, 4014 update, 4014 returns to steam & Southwest Big Boy.

Great footage as we come to expect from Pentrex, however I was disappointed on how Kansas City was practically glossed over despite the title. The Coffeyville to KC portion is not featured as well.
One more thing, 4014 was traveling on UP’s own line between KC and Topeka, not BNSF.
