Big Boy 2022

[wytex]

UPRR's 4014 is hitting the rails again this summer. If you haven't seen it take the time. I would recommend going to a smaller town where it will be stopped so you can get up close and personal, so to speak, with the locomotive. You also need to see it running, find a crossing and watch it go by at speed.
The full schedule will be out in May I think.

World's Largest Steam Locomotive 'Big Boy No. 4014' Returns to the Tracks to Celebrate 160 years of Union Pacific

Thanks for the heads up. I’ll plan to get by to see it.

I saw #4449 pulling the American Freedom Train in 1975. It stopped in Sparks NV and we got to touch it. No lawyers or bike helmets in those days.

We had plans to take the boys while it was in Boise, unfortunately they cancelled the tour.

Well, damn.
