On Saturday, July 18, 2026 the Union Pacific Big Boy 4014 Steam Locomotive will pass through Logan County with no stops scheduled. The historic train is traveling across the United States this year in honor of America 250.

The train will leave Bloomington at 8:15 a.m. and is expected to arrive in Springfield at 10:45 a.m. In Logan County the train will pass through Atlanta, Lincoln, and Elkhart in that order.

The community is encouraged to line the tracks and watch the mammoth locomotive pass through. Union Pacific cautions that all spectators must remain at least 25 feet from the tracks for their own safety.
