    4014 Big Boy tour announced

    The UP Big Boy is doing a fall tour. Some info here. Mark your calendars.

    Union Pacific Railroad announced its famed Big Boy No. 4014 locomotive will stop in three Iowa communities this fall.

ID:	34347 I saw it in Houston last weekend with the grandkids and then caught it departing Fort Worth this morning. I can't get the video to upload but here is an overhead shot from someone that I met at the viewing spot.
