Inspired by Big Boy No. 4014? Get Up Close to Southern Railway No. 401 This Weekend.

As Union Pacific Big Boy No. 4014 turns heads across the country, there's never been a better time to experience the magic of steam for yourself. The thunder of the exhaust, the blast of the whistle, and the unmistakable smell of steam create an experience unlike any other.

You can experience that same excitement right here in Central Illinois with Southern Railway No. 401. Built in 1907, this historic locomotive offers the chance to ride behind a working steam engine, hear the exhaust echo through the countryside, and experience railroad history in motion.

Join us this weekend, July 18th and 19th, and get up close to the sights, sounds, and smell of steam railroading aboard Southern Railway No. 401.
