Cool! No caboose?
Nice. Thanks for posting. I think the runner was tired of putting additional cars on.

It was sitting on the side. In all the excitement we (I) forgot to put it on.

It is going to be hard to top that. Very impressive all the way around.
Wow!

How many cars did you have behind them?
Well, that was certainly more than a bit impressive. And, the layout, well there is another remarkable item. All-in-all, this would be anyone's dream. Very nice. Bob S.

Pretty amazing video.
Ok, I gotta ask. Did they ever actually triple head Big Boys? It is neat to watch though.

Absolutely CORRECT! Virtually ALL full tonnage trains despatched westbound out of Cheyenne, prior to the completion of Track 3 in about 1953, required doubleheading. The "road engine" being a 4000 while the helper on the front was either another 4000 or a 3900 class Challenger.
I wondered about the same thing; i.e., double-headed Big Boys. I found a painting and a picture of just that, and also an article that mentioned double-heading but only with a gas turbine:
