Just got an email from Union Pacific. In part, it reads,
Union Pacific Steam Club Update No. 30 - Nov. 2, 2023
Union Pacific's famed Big Boy No. 4014, the world's largest steam locomotive, will return to the rails in 2024 for a tour celebrating the railroad's deep history and connection to communities, and its employees.

It delights me that they're coming back to my area again. It was great seeing them bring 4014 to Altoona after 24 years of not caring about the track they got from CNW. I likely will plan a Chicago trip to see it stop there unless they run it closer to me. Any excuse to visit Chicago works for me too!
