Restore and Return Big Boy 4017 to Active Service


Restore and Return Big Boy 4017 to Active Service
The Issue
Big Boy 4017, a historic steam locomotive, has been a symbol of American engineering prowess for decades. Built in the 1940s, it was one of the largest and most powerful steam locomotives ever made. However, it has been inactive for many years now. We believe that restoring Big Boy 4017 to active service will not only pay homage to our rich railway history but also serve as an educational tool for future generations about this era of transportation technology. This is not an impossible task; Union Pacific successfully restored Big Boy 4014 in 2019 (source: Union Pacific). Let's bring back Big Boy 4017! Please sign this petition to support the restoration and return of this iconic locomotive to active service.
