There’s nothing quite like seeing Big Boy thunder down the rails along the legendary Route 66 during its Centennial celebration. The sight, the sound, and the history all came together for an unforgettable moment that reminds us why America’s railroads continue to inspire generations.
As we celebrate Route 66’s 100th anniversary and look ahead to America 250, it’s the perfect time to reflect on the people, places, and stories that shaped our nation. Watching this engineering icon roll through the heartland is more than a photo opportunity—it’s a living connection to our past and a reminder of the journey that brought us here.
