It was retired on December 7, 1961, and displayed at <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/RailGiants_Train_Museum\" target=\"_blank\">RailGiants Train Museum<\/a> in Pomona, California. In 2013, the Union Pacific re-acquired it and launched a full restoration effort to return it to operating condition. In May, 2019, it moved under its own power after almost six decades of inactivity.<\/p>\n<p>This is one of the world&#8217;s largest operational steam locomotives and the only one operating of the eight that are still in existence. In fact, only 25 were built to begin with.

They&#8217;ll probably tie down overnight at the rail yard in New Haven, Indiana, before resuming her journey to Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.<\/p>\n<p>The locomotive will spend a couple of days in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, and then head back west. The schedule looks like it&#8217;ll be at Horshoe Curve in Altoona, Pennsylvania, on July 11, 2026, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.railroadcity.org\/events\" target=\"_blank\">where it&#8217;ll stop for ticketed viewing<\/a>. The westward trek will then continue with another overnight stay in Fort Wayne on July 15, 2026.<\/p>\n<p>Further details will be posted as soon as they&#8217;re available.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/aroundfortwayne.com\/news\/tag\/uprr-big-boy-4014-through-fort-wayne-indiana\/\">Read more posts about the Big Boy&#8217;s visit to Fort Waye, Indiana<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3>Related Images:<\/h3><div class=\"ngg-related-gallery\">\n\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/aroundfortwayne.com\/news\/wp-content\/gallery\/baker-street-station\/68589.jpg\"\n\t\t\ttitle=\"The Peoples Trust &amp;amp; Savings Company Clock at the Baker Street Railroad Station.
