Or like a really good NBA center who's on the move or something.

Yeah.

So the world's largest steam train is headed east across the Mississippi River to celebrate America's 250th birthday.

And it is officially known as Big Boy number 4014.

It's making a 10-state swing starting in late May.

It was delivered to Union Pacific in 1941.

And it was among 25 that were built to haul wartime freight across the continental divide in Wyoming and Utah.

And that sounds stressful.

Going up through mountains and such, having to haul things.

The construction of the railroad is always very interesting to me.

Because that's where a lot of feats and marvels of engineering took place.

No, it is not.

A lot of people were taken advantage of to build the railroad.

But we respect them and their sacrifice.

Union Pacific, in this quote, couldn't be prouder to share this powerful piece of history with the nation and to be a part of America's birthday celebration.

And guess what, friends?

It is stopping here in Chicago.

How did you have that?

I wonder what Chuck Swirsky thinks of the hire.

So on June 3rd, mark your calendars.
