Re: On The Road Again... Jim & Lyndi's 2023 ZR-1 Road Trip to Yellowstone
I don't know your complete schedule Jim but if you are anywhere between Cheyenne WY and Omaha NE during the week of June 7, you might be able to catch the UP Big Boy Challenger No. 4014. It leaves Cheyenne June 7 and arrives in Omaha June 14, then returns a few days later. Here is a map and a link to its schedule, just in case. If you haven't had a chance to see it in operation it is worth a detour for a train guy. --Bob
Union Pacific Steam Schedule
Union Pacific's famed Big Boy No. 4014, the world's largest steam locomotive still in operation, returns to the rails on June 7, 2023 for its Home Run Express Tour to Omaha, Nebraska, where it will be on display for 11 days during the college baseball championship.
The Big Boy will leave Cheyenne, Wyoming, on June 7, en route to Omaha. It will make whistle-stops in Wyoming and Nebraska, before returning to its home base in Cheyenne on July 3. During its Omaha display at Union Pacific's Home Plate, next to Charles Schwab Field, the public will be allowed to see the locomotive up close between June 15-21 and June 24-25 from 12 p.m. to 6 p.m
