World's largest operational steam engine "Big Boy" to stop in North East, PA from 11:25-11:35am on Tues. 6/9/26 as part of America250 tour
"In 2026, railroad fans across the country will have the rare chance to witness history in motion as Union Pacific’s legendary Big Boy No. 4014 travels coast to coast in celebration of America’s 250th anniversary. The world’s largest operating steam locomotive is expected to make several appearances across Pennsylvania, giving railfans, photographers, and curious travelers a once-in-a-generation opportunity to experience the thunder, steam, and spectacle of a true American icon."
The engine will be in Philly for Independence Day, and will take a route through the fabled Horseshoe curve in Altoona (but tickets are already sold out to view that)
