🚂💨 THE BIG BOY IS COMING TO ELMHURST! 💨🚂
Tomorrow morning, one of the most legendary locomotives ever built will thunder through downtown Elmhurst!
The Union Pacific Big Boy No. 4014 is scheduled to depart West Chicago at 8:00 AM and is expected to roll through Elmhurst around 8:15 AM.
This isn't just any train.
🚂 Built in 1941
🚂 133 feet long
🚂 Weighs an incredible 1.2 MILLION POUNDS
🚂 One of the largest steam locomotives ever built
If you've never seen a Big Boy in person, this is the railroad equivalent of spotting a dinosaur still roaming the earth.
☕ Grab your favorite drink from Pilot Pete's Coffee & Treats and enjoy a front-row seat right here at the Elmhurst Metra Station. There's no better place to watch this million-pound piece of American history roll through town.
Bring the kids, bring your camera, bring your train-loving uncle who has been talking about steam engines since 1987.

🚂 Big Boy expected around 8:15 AM
