interesting update on the nationwide Big Boy tour, the Union Pacific Museum will be AUCTIONING OFF two CAB RIDES in the locomotive on April 17 in Utah, with proceeds going to the nonprofit museum. The auction starts Monday, March 2, and ends Thursday, March 19.


the Big Boy will leave its home base in Cheyenne, Wyoming, on March 29, traveling across Wyoming, Utah, Nevada, and California

Four public display days are planned for this mighty steam locomotive during the western leg of the tour, with two days each in Roseville, California, April 10-11 and Ogden, Utah, April 18-19.

In addition to the public display days, rail fans can see this historic machine in action at whistle-stops in communities along its journey. Whistle-stops are generally 15- to 30-minutes long.

Details of the eastern leg of the coast-to-coast tour – including whistle-stops and public display days - will be released at a later date.
