Union Pacific plays a leading role in preserving railroad history and maintains the finest heritage fleet in the world, which includes the world's largest steam locomotive, the Big Boy No. 4014<https://www.up.com/heritage/steam/4014/index.htm>, and the fastest steam locomotive, the Living Legend No. 844<https://www.up.com/heritage/steam/844/index.htm>. In 2021, Big Boy brought out more than 1 million people to see the engine as it traveled through 10 southern and midwestern states, including Texas and Louisiana, followed by a special trip in 2022 to Union Station in Denver, Colorado, as part of Cheyenne's Frontier Days.

Remember if you come out to watch the Home Run Express pass by, please remain at least 25 feet back from the tracks and do not trespass on any railroad property.

That's all for now.  Until next time, stay safe!
