Union Pacific’s Big Boy No. 4014 will chug into Dallas on Wednesday, Sept. 18.
This stop will not include events for the public.
The train will make a stop at a private Union Pacific Event on Wednesday.
It will then leave Dallas at 9 a.m. and make its way to Hearne.
The train will be back in North Texas next month.
It will be in Fort Worth from October 10 to October 13. The train will be at the Fort Worth T&P Station on W. Lancaster Avenue.
