The 4014 was retired in 1961, restored in 2019, and hasn't been to the East Coast since is was built in 1941... but if the plans for a cross country trip, coast to coast, happen as planned to celebrate America’s 250th, it will. Thank you George!

The train operated primarily between Cheyenne and Ogden during its revenue years

Union Pacific spokesman Mike Jaixen said he could not discuss any of Big Boy’s 2026 plans other than to say, “We’re still in the planning process for determining what is possible in 2026,” and that the train would “return to the rails in a big way in 2026 to celebrate America’s 250th.”
