Union Pacific's Big Boy Locomotive to Tour Northeast for America's 250th Anniversary
Union Pacific's Big Boy No. 4014, the world's largest operating steam locomotive, is set to tour the Northeast for the first time in honor of America's 250th anniversary. The tour, in collaboration with Norfolk Southern, includes more than 50 whistle-stops and display days across eight cities. This marks the first time Big Boy has crossed the Mississippi River and entered the Ohio Valley since its construction in 1941. The tour celebrates the rich history of Union Pacific and the role of railroads in America's industrial rise. The eastern leg of the tour will operate across the Norfolk Southern network, highlighting a historic collaboration between the two railroads.
