UP

On August 28, 2021, I embarked on the chase of a very special steam locomotive--UP #4014, aka Big Boy. I started out in rural southern Illinois, south of Valmeyer. The next day, I went to downtown St. Louis by the Amtrak station to get up close and personal with Big Boy. Early the next morning, I arose at 5:30 A.M. and headed to Maplewood, a suburb of St. Louis, to catch it working its way westward along Greenwood Boulevard. Shortly before Big Boy arrived, the UP dispatcher sent the westbound Amtrak "Missouri River Runner" on its way. The engineer greeted us with staccato blasts of his horn to warn people who might be standing too close to the tracks. Then the big moment arrived!!! I heard that 3-chime Hancock whistle off in the distance and knew that Big Boy was on its way!!! As engineer Ed Dickens led the Big Boy and its train through Maplewood, he treated us railfans to plenty of whistle and a nice smoke plume. We were in Hog Heaven!!! The nostalgic deep sound of that Hancock whistle is to die for!!! Enjoy!!!
