LIVE: Big Boy - World's Largest Steam Locomotive in Fort Worth | FOX 4

The world's largest operating steam locomotive will be in Fort Worth through the weekend.
Union Pacific's Big Boy No. 4014 will chug into Fort Worth on Wednesday night.
The 133-foot-long and 1.2 million pound black locomotive, will be on display at 275 W. Lancaster Avenue from Thursday from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. and Friday from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m.
Admission to the event is free.
The City of Fort Worth suggests parking at the Convention Center Parking Garage at 1200 Houston Street.
The train will be a part of a private Union Pacific event on Saturday and the locomotive will leave Fort Worth on Sunday, Oct. 13 at 8 a.m.
Big Boy made a stop in Dallas last month, but only for a private event.
The stops are a part of the Big Boy Heartland of America Tour, which takes the train through 10 states.
You can track the engine's current location on Union Pacific's website.
25 "Big Boys" were built during World War II, but only eight survived. No. 4014 is the only one in operation.

It is the largest steam locomotive still running but not of all time. There were longer, faster, more powerful steam locomotives. I believe it ranks 4th in size.

Lucky to get to see it before I left out of state. That whistle is powerful in a way I hadn’t expected! I figured it’d be shrill, but it’s deep! It feels like the ground shakes, you feel it in your chest. Incredible machine!

9 to 3 today and 9 to 1pm tomorrow... why would they do these specific times none of the kids in Tarrant County would be able to see it because they're all in school how can we teach our kids the history if they're not able to stand in front of it and see it for themselves

Same thing we thought. Then Saturday all day is a private event They just had a private event in Dallas couple weeks back. Disappointing!

Because it's not for kids, it's for Americans of all ages. This thing wasn't built for kids, it was built for war.
