Union Pacific: A Day in Arkansas with Big Boy

Filmed September 16, 2024.
Big Boy 4014 is back on another tour, that being titled "Heartland of America." Built in 1940s, 4014 is one many Big Boys built for the Union Pacific for heavy freight trains. While it retired and was formally a museum piece at the RailGiants Train Museum, the Union Pacific required it and restored it to operation. For its "Heartland of America" tour that goes down south to Texas, Arkansas is one of the states that 4014 visited. The video here shows the Union Pacific giant in North Little Rock and thundering its way to Texarkana. It passes the Arkansas wilderness, under a bridge, and even over bridges such as Little Rock's Baring Cross Bridge.
Enjoy the video.
