## Resource

Big Boy 40-14, the world’s largest operating steam locomotive, roared through mid-Missouri on a historic coast-to-coast tour celebrating America’s 250th anniversary, drawing crowds with its thunderous power and billowing steam. Making its first-ever East Coast journey, the engine stops at 50 sites across 10 states, reigniting nostalgia and wonder for rail enthusiasts. Locals in California, Missouri, and Sedalia turned out in droves, some recalling childhood tales of the train shaking the ground, others simply marveling at the spectacle. To fuel the excitement, Sedalia offered $3 rides on a local train in Liberty Park. This isn’t just a tour—it’s a living tribute to America’s rail heritage, bringing history to life with every whistle blast.
