Does anyone know the route Big Boy will take coming into Ft Worth on the ninth of October? Also, anyone know what time and what route is being taken on Saturday the twelfth for the UP retirement excursion? Flying in from east coast to see this engine in Ft Worth at the old Texas & Pacific station, would love to actually see it in motion. Thanks for any responses!

I had to reschedule my annual physical because it was on the day that it would be coming through my area!

The website also includes real-time tracking.

Saw it in Watseka IL on Monday. The town of 4700 saw its population double for a few hours. And it was running ahead of schedule!
