Union Pacific’s Big Boy Locomotive is Utah Bound; Whistle-Stops Planned in Salt Lake City, Morgan and Brigham City; with Two Display Days in Ogden

Big Boy No. 4014, the famed Union Pacific steam locomotive built in the 1940s to conquer mountains
while carrying equipment in support of World War II, is taking off on its Westward Bound Tour this
summer with several stops planned in Utah.

The powerful steam locomotive will leave Cheyenne, Wyoming, on June 30, and travel across Wyoming,
Utah, Nevada, California and a short stretch of southeast Idaho.
While in Utah, Big Boy will make several whistle-stops, with two public displays planned in Ogden:

•  July 4 – Morgan, 11:30 a.m. to 12 p.m. MT, Morgan Depot, 98 Commercial Street
•  July 4 – Salt Lake City, 2:55-4:30 p.m. MT, Salt Lake City Central Station, 340 S. 600 W.
•  July 20 – Ogden, 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. MT, Ogden Union Station, 2501 Wall Ave.
  •  Public display day: admission to see the Big Boy is free and open to the public
•  July 21 – Ogden, 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. MT, Ogden Union Station, 2501 Wall Ave.
  •  Public display day: admission to see the Big Boy is free and open to the public
•  July 22 – Brigham City, 9- 9:15 a.m. MT, Forest St. Crossing

During the public display, visitors will get the chance to Experience the Union Pacific Rail Car. This
restored baggage car now serves as a traveling history museum, providing a glimpse of the past while
telling the story of modern-day railroading through sounds, images and interactive technology.
