Union Pacific’s Big Boy No. 4014, the world’s largest operating steam locomotive, will journey to the East Coast for the first time in collaboration with Norfolk Southern, as part of a historic coast-to-coast tour in honor of America’s 250th anniversary.
Big Boy is expected to pass over the Tunkhannock Creek Viaduct (Nicholson Bridge) on Saturday, June 13 at 10:00 a.m. It will also be on display for ticketed viewing at Steamtown National Historic Site.
