(^1) Eastbound on UP’s Adams line between
St. Paul and Chicago, No. 4014 crosses over the
Wisconsin & Southern west of Randolph, Wis.,
on July 25, 2019. The train tied up in the
Milwaukee suburb of Butler for the night.

(^2) The coaling tower at Clyman Junction,
Wis., has seen many steam locomotives in its
time, but nothing like this one on July 25. The
locomotive also passed under existing
C&NW coaling towers at Dekalb and Nelson,
Ill. Two photos, TRAINS: Jim Wrinn
(^3) Arriving in Chicagoland on July 26, No. 4014
paused at Proviso Yard and then headed out
UP’s Geneva subdivision on the former
Chicago & North Western main line. At
Elmhurst, crowds lined the tracks and packed
the Metra station platforms on both sides.
(^4) No. 4014 arrives for its three-day display at
the Provo Training Center in West Chicago. A
passing Metra train and huge crowds greeted
the locomotive. Over the weekend, an estimat-
ed 20,000 people came to view the steam loco-
motive. From here, on July 30, the train headed
west, stopping in Cedar Rapids, Iowa; Des
Moines; Omaha; North Platte; and finally home
in Cheyenne. TRAINS: David Lassen
