🚀 From America’s rails to the moon! 🌕 Built by @WabtecCorp and unveiled with @northropgrumman , our newest commemorative locomotive #up4547 began its first mission hauling @NASA Artemis III rocket components, powering the next era of exploration.
Former NASA astronaut Doug Hurley captured it well at the unveiling ceremony: “Together, we are taking the next leap for humanity.” https://t.co/X9rN4NDS70
As #UP4014 Big Boy's Coast-to-Coast tour moves across the U.S., the consist will revise periodically. We've added #UP1776, our #America250 locomotive featuring our dramatic American flag earlier this week. Now Union Pacific's Heritage Fleet has been added to the consist in Omaha as we say goodbye to TTX's beautiful patriotic boxcars, which we were using for braking support until we could pick up the Heritage Fleet.
The legendary Big Boy No. 4014 is coming to North Platte TOMORROW, Wednesday, May 27th and you can witness this historic steam locomotive from the best seat in town at the Golden Spike Tower & Visitor Center!

@Breaking57 The initial “crime” of disorderly conduct
Does not apply here - just an excuse to run ID for warrants. If sitting on the s sidewalk - is the ordinance, just cite it.
@BlackLabelAdvsr McTexans - they ain’t real Texans
That buy these to live in
We use to call these McMansions -
(The limited version of a True Mansion)
Therefore the occupants must be called McTexans…
HOLY SH*T: Spencer Pratt is going into the worst parts of Los Angeles and POWER WASHING THE sidewalks to show how clean they could be

Frisco 1522 departed St. Louis to begin its incredible 18-day tour with the BNSF Railway’s Employee Appreciation Special through Missouri, Oklahoma, Texas and Kansas.
Rail can move anything – even a massive transformer across the United States.
Weighing more than 218 tons, this oversized load began its journey in Brazil, arrived at the Port of Tacoma and moved east by rail – starting on Union Pacific and handed off to @nscorp to reach its final destination.
This is what rail does best: move the biggest, most complex freight with precision, scale and reliability. And once we create America’s first transcontinental railroad, shipments like this will move even more seamlessly – delivering true coast‑to‑coast reach, greater efficiency and unmatched reliability for customers with one‑of‑a‑kind needs.
Proof that no matter the size, weight or complexity, rail delivers – and the next chapter is just getting started.
