Movement of Big Boy #4018 from Irving to Frisco is scheduled for 9am Sunday (8/25). The locomotive is not accessible in present location in Irving. It can be seen from a distance from downtown Irving Trinity Railway Express Station. We will provide further information as it is made available.
The Museum of the American Railroad receives numerous inquiries about the moves to Frisco each day. We will make every effort to provide advance information about each equipment move. Please keep in mind that these moves are at the convenience of the railroads and may occur with little prior notice. A master schedule for the entire collection move does not exist.
As with every equipment move, please remember that while the Museum of the American Railroad looks forward to sharing this historic event with members, stakeholders, and the community at large, it must be done from a safe distance. Safety and security are of the utmost importance. As period...ic updates are provided by the Museum, we are in no way inviting the public to enter railroad property or board rail equipment at any time during the move. Violations will be considered trespassing and interfering with interstate commerce.
At the request of residents adjacent to the Museum's site in Frisco, access to the end of Cotton Gin Road and the area immediately to the North is prohibited. The City has provided a tented viewing area just inside the Museum's fence for onlookers to gather. Parking will be available at the Frisco Discovery Center. Access to the Museum's site will be through the contractor gate along Cotton Gin Road. Parking along Cotton Gin Road is prohibited.
Access to the Museum site will be available approximately one hour prior to the Big Boy's arrival. Restrooms and refreshments are not available at the site.
We are greatly indebted to the host railroads for their generosity and support of the Museum's move to Frisco. We share their concern for maintaining a safe environment, and a minimum of disruption of service to their customers. Our sincere thanks to the Burlington Northern Santa Fe Railway, Dallas, Garland & Northeastern Railroad, Union Pacific Railroad, and the Trinity Railway Express for making these moves possible.

. People along the route probably can't even recall what was tugging it down the tracks.
Seriously, that's pretty neat - almost makes you wonder if BNSF was getting into the spirit by providing older "historical" diesel units.
