Union Pacific’s Big Boy locomotive 4014 will leave Cheyenne, Wyo., June 7 on its Home Run Express Tour, which wraps up in Omaha, where the company is headquartered.

The engine will stop at five destinations along the way.

It will then spend 11 days on display during the college baseball championship tournament, parked outside the city’s Charles Schwab Field between June 15 and 25.
