"Four Corners" 2024 Tour

Union Pacific's famed Big Boy No. 4014, the world’s largest steam locomotive, will return to the rails in 2024 for a tour celebrating the railroad’s deep history and connection to communities, and its employees. The tour is expected to reach all four corners of Union Pacific’s 23-state system with anticipated stops in:

• Chicago, Illinois
• Dallas/Ft. Worth, Texas
• Houston, Texas
• Nampa, Idaho
• Portland, Oregon
• Roseville, California
• Salt Lake City, Utah

“As we move forward at Union Pacific, we remember where we came from; the Big Boy represents the history of Union Pacific and the United States,” said Union Pacific CEO Jim Vena. “When No. 4014 comes to town, we will celebrate with the communities where we operate, our employees and their families. Together, we will marvel at how far technology has brought us.”

Tour dates and route information will be released in 2024. In addition to public stops, Union Pacific employees and their families will be invited along the route.

While it makes sense that 4014 will at first revisit the areas he did previously (aka... Chicago: 2019, Dallas/Ft. Worth: 2021, Houston: 2019 and then again in 2021, and finally Salt Lake City: 2019), of course the big ones that are on anyone's minds: Nampa, Idaho, Portland, Oregon, and Roseville, California! :D

Which means one thing: BIG BOY 4014 IS FINALLY GONNA VISIT THOSE AREAS ON THE UP SYSTEM FOR THE FIRST TIME EVER!!!!!!!! :D :D :D :D :D :D

And yes: It does make up for the missed out West Coast Steam Tour that would of happened back in 2022.

But anyways.... ANYONE PUMPED UP OR WHAT?!! :D :D
