A 2026 tour schedule update.
No east coast itinerary posted yet, but they’re impyling that passengers will be taken on some eastern legs.
Jon,
I’m more inclined to think IF it does come our way it will go over the Lurgan Branch just like 611 did. If that is the case even better as the Lurgan Branch is probably about 1/2hr from you. I don’t think they are gonna chance that unit over the Allegheny’s.
Here’s a video explaining how the BB 2026 cost-to-coast tour is an enormous public relations effort for the TBD UP+NS merger.
Well they have denied the merger… so far, so who knows ?
From the video, it seems like the review of all the documents, and the approval process, could take a year (if successful), with the Big Boy serving as a PR star.
I know Nothinnng !!!

Cliff while we wait for your latest BIG BOY update, I found a build your own souvenir site for the LEGO enthusiasts that silently dwell amongst us.
And for those with 3D printers who won’t be undone… a reminder to buy more filament….

Excellent research, Bill! I sure love that last one, holy cow.
Speaking of news, UP/NS recently published this list of responses to the critics of the deal.
Here’s an overview page on the deal.
From the 4014 web page, it seems the cost-to-coast tour this year is still on.
The western portion of the '26 tour has just been published:
When are you posting a sign-up sheet for the road trip? Happy to ride shotgun.
Oh boy here we go…gather round the campfire…Cliff is waiving his weiner around again.
