>The world’s largest operating steam locomotive, known as Big Boy No. 4014, is coming back to Colorado — and this time, it’s bringing a friend.
Union Pacific, a transportation company, announced that the locomotive is coming to Colorado during a limited 2025 excursion. The locomotive is one of eight surviving Big Boys out of the 25 built during World War II. After it traveled over a million miles in its 20 years of service, the locomotive retired and spent years in a California railroad museum.
