Big Boy Locomotive Rolls Through Indiana

Big Boy, the world’s largest operating steam locomotive, is on a historic cross-country tour to celebrate America’s 250th anniversary, rolling through Indiana and Ohio for the first time since restoration. Weighing 1.2 million pounds and stretching 133 feet, this rare marvel—only eight ever built, and the last still running—is accompanied by iconic railcars like “Abraham Lincoln” and “The Bell.” Though Fort Wayne’s stop was private, another visit is planned for July 16th. The journey, which began in Sacramento on April 10th, honors railroads’ role in shaping the nation—and you can track its progress online as it rolls toward the future.
