CP Trains Stop

Well, this is exciting! 🚂

📣 Hey Railfans! Big Boy 4014 will be coming through Indiana on its track East for the first time since it was manufactured in November 1941 by the American Locomotive Company (ALCO) in Schenectady, New York. This is the largest operational steam engine in the United States and only Big Boy left in operation!

Big Boy will be coming through Indiana on June 5th 2026 as part of a Eastern United States tour! It will be making a couple stops in Indiana! The only stop with public viewing will be in Argos Indiana! It will stop in Fort Wayne but no public viewing is allowed.

Railfans will also be able to view it as it moves through towns along the way! This tour is possible from the Union Pacific- Norfolk Southern merger. UP & NS want to remind railfans to stay at least 25' back from the tracks and standing on or near the tracks is trespassing and very dangerous.

Every visit to the Monon Connection Museum looks a little different—and that’s what makes it special.
