Following Union Pacific Big Boy 4014 from Clinton, IA to West Chicago, IL

Original film date: June 2, 2026 Contributors: ‪@UPGenevaSub‬ , ‪@MetraBNSF‬ , ‪@CandMgirl‬ , ‪@stpchc‬ As a part of its coast-to-coast tour to celebrate America’s 250 anniversary, Union Pacific Big Boy 4014 makes its way through Iowa and into Illinois where it had a public display day in West Chicago, IL on June 3, 2026. Prior to its arrival in West Chicago, several of us follow it from Low Moor, IA (just west of Clinton, IA) to Clinton, IA, and to a scheduled stop at Rochelle, IL. Once arriving at West Chicago, IL the train is split in two so it can fit stub tracks. The train will be re-attached prior to its eastbound departure on June 4, 2026 at 0800 hours. #unionpacific #bigboy #steamengine #america250
