Big Boy steam engine comes barreling into Utah

The famous Big Boy steam engine is about to roll into Ogden for a multi-day stop over. The engine usually tours around the western U.S. nearly every summer. But in honor of the country's 250th birthday, Union Pacific is sending the engine from coast-to-coast. It chugged through Utah earlier this month on its way to California, but that was just a quick stop. This weekend, it'll be in Ogden for a few days to give train fans young and old the opportunity to get up close and personal with the massive historic steam engine. For more on this event, Maria Shilaos speaks with Ed Dickens, chief locomotive engineer on Big Boy. For more information on the famous steam engine and its trip across the country for the United States' 250th birthday, visit https://www.up.com/about-us/history/steam/schedule. Joining me to talk more about the event is Ed Dickens... the chief locomotive engineer on Big Boy.
