Big Boy Cab Ride Auction!
The Union Pacific Railroad Museum is thrilled to offer rail fans a rare opportunity to ride in the cab of the world's largest operating steam locomotive - Union Pacific's Big Boy No. 4014.
Four spots inside the locomotive will be placed up for auction Aug. 12, with all proceeds benefiting two worthy causes: the Union Pacific Museum Association and Union Pacific's Friend-to-Friend Network, a nonprofit operated by current and retired employees that assists railroad families in times of need, such as medical or natural disaster hardships.
The lucky winners will ride in early September during Big Boy's planned Heartland of America tour: two riders in the cab on Sept. 2 inbound into Omaha, Nebraska, and two riders in the cab Sept. 4 in Iowa.
The rides will be approximately 1.5 hours in duration and riders will have to be 18 years of age or older, among other requirements.
Each spot will be auctioned separately. The auction will run for approximately 7 days, starting Aug. 12 at 10 a.m. CT and ending Aug. 19 in a live auction event at 7 p.m. CT.
