Fireman does such a good job. Catching the slips and firing for power not "aesthetics". Well done UP.

Has to be added that, in the video showing the 'slip', when 4015 passes it does not appear to be operating in a high notch...

Plenty of film of this event now.
Not sure who this narrator is, but an interesting take on the "Big Push!"
Congratulations and thanks to Union Pacific and its steam crew for all they do.
Looking forward to Canadian Pacific's coming adventure. Looks like, Like UP, CPR will have a solid colour train. Very classy companies.

Hyce actually works at the Colorado Railroad Museum and has some of the best videos on YouTube showing what goes into operating a steam locomotive.

Hullmat991,
Thank you. He is worth watching some more.
Imagine the grins in that cab with those engines hooked up and working hard!
