COLUMBUS, Ohio (WCMH) — The world’s largest steam locomotive will be making several stops in Ohio this summer.
Big Boy 4014 is one of eight remaining locomotives of its kind, but is the only one still operating. The others are on display throughout the country.
The train is crossing America for the country’s 250th birthday. Union Pacific said it will be the first time this specific Big Boy has ventured to the east coast. The train began its journey May 25 in Cheyenne, Wyoming, and will return to Cheyenne on July 29.
