Clint Wilkins, age 14, is something of a train aficionado. He and his family tracked the Union Pacific’s No. 4014, a.k.a. Big Boy, from Continental to Bellevue, Ohio, when the steam locomotive made its way through Ohio on Saturday, June 6, as part of a coast-to-coast tour.
The No. 4014 is the world’s largest operating steam locomotive. It is making over four dozen whistle-stops of 13 to 30 minutes long.
