Union Pacific's Big Boy 4014 steam engine is going to go on tour through the Midwest starting in July, to continue the celebration of the 150th anniversary of the completion of the first Transcontinental Railroad in 1869.

For anyone east of the Rocky Mountains, this just may be your best chance to see this steaming monster in the near future.
