Union Pacific's historic Big Boy steam locomotive No. 4014 near Bucyus, Kansas in 2021

Union Pacific's historic Big Boy steam locomotive No. 4014 starts its 2021 eight state tour on Thursday, August 5. The overall map of the tour is at the bottom of this page and the more detailed steam locomotive tracking map has the location of each part of the route and the current location of Big Boy. If the detailed Union Pacific map is not working see our detailed Kansas maps.

Days marked "On Display" – In addition to day long display hours, display days include access to the Experience the Union Pacific Rail Car. Special edition Big Boy souvenirs also are available for sale from the merchandise tent. Admission to display days is free (no tickets required), though parking at surrounding parking facilities may involve a charge. These are the best times to see the Big Boy.

"Viewing Only" – Locations where fans can safely view the Big Boy. In some cases, the Big Boy will be displayed behind a fence or other perimeter. Unlike display days, the Experience the Union Pacific Rail Car will not be available for tours and merchandise will not be sold. Unless otherwise noted on the schedule, overnight stops are "viewing only."

Big Boy No. 4014 was delivered to Union Pacific in December 1941 and was retired in December 1961, having traveled 1,031,205 miles in its 20 years in service. Number 4014 is 132 feet long and weighs 1.2 million pounds. 25 of these huge locomotives were built and 7 of them are on display across the country.
