🇺🇸🚂 In honor of the Semiquincentennial, members of the Eastern Division Social Media & Marketing Team spent the past week trackside across Northeast Pennsylvania on a railfan adventure chasing a true American legend — the Union Pacific Big Boy No. 4014. 🚂🇺🇸
As the world’s largest operating steam locomotive takes on a coast-to-coast tour, we had the opportunity to witness history in motion, capturing photos, videos, and memories at some of the region’s most iconic railfan locations. 📸🎥 From small towns to scenic overlooks 🌄, thousands gathered to experience the sights, sounds, and power of steam—one of steam preservation’s greatest ambassadors. 💨🚂 (We may have even gotten the chance to meet Ed Dickens in person and grab a picture with him 😉📷)
Over the next two weeks leading up to Independence Day 🇺🇸🎆, we invite you to travel along with us and experience the magic of steam ✨🚂 and the many stops on our railfan journey.
Through photos, videos, and stories from our trip 📸🎥📝, we invite you to follow Big Boy 4014’s journey across Pennsylvania with us and celebrate the remarkable efforts of Ed Dickens and the Union Pacifc Railroad steam crew 👨🔧🚂, whose vision and leadership helped return this legendary locomotive to steam.
As hobbyists, we are grateful for their efforts. 🙏🚂
Join us as we celebrate America’s railroad heritage 🇺🇸🚆, the spirit of innovation ⚙️, and the people who keep history alive for future generations
🎉🇺🇸 Happy 250th Birthday, America! 🇺🇸🎉
