"Big Boy" Steam Loco Chase

Union Pacific's famed Big Boy No. 4014, the world's largest operating steam locomotive, will journey to the East Coast this summer for the first time as part of a historic coast-to-coast tour to celebrate America's 250th anniversary.

Once in a lifetime opportunity to see and ride along with the peak of steam powered locomotion.

Route Plan Overview

• Leave Bergen at 9. Head to Attica

Possibly An Overnight?
I (Ivan) may make this an overnight trip with a stay in Waverly. With a cruise home from there. Let me know if you may be interested.
