Union Pacific “Big Boy” Locomotive 4014

Welcome to Glenn Robison’s Rapidly Rotating Records, bringing you vintage music to which you can’t not tap your toes, from rapidly rotating 78 RPM records of the 1920s and ’30s.

If this is a vintage music show, why is there a photograph of Union Pacific “Big Boy” Locomotive 4014 on the playlist? Well. because in addition to vintage music, I’m also a railfan and Big Boy 4014, the largest and most powerful operating steam locomotive in the world is currently on it’s “Heartland of America” tour. In the second segment of this week’s show you’ll find out all about Big Boy 4014 and although not specifically about the locomotive, you’ll hear a set of “Big Boy” tunes. In other segments we’ll get hurt, put some things where they belong, have a bout of the blues and in the final segment, ask how certain things could happen. There’s lots of great music and interesting information so set aside an hour with your favorite beverage and prepare to be transported back to a different–and we think better–musical era. Just click the link above to listen streaming online and/or download for listening at your convenience.
