OMAHA — Union Pacific’s auction for a chance to ride in the cab of Big Boy No. 4014 has become a sale of two tickets at a set price, with the tickets going on sale at 5 p.m. CDT today, July 23.
In a message to its “Steam Club” members, the railroad says the auction to support the Union Pacific Railroad Museum “was manipulated by an individual and did not result in an award to the highest bidder.” As a result, two tickets, priced at $9,500 each, will go on sale at 5 p.m. CDT at the tickets page of the museum website, uptraintix.com.
Purchasers will ride the Big Boy on July 3 from Pine Bluffs, Wyo., to Cheyenne, Wyo, a trip scheduled for 11 a.m. to 12:30 p.m.
More about the museum is available at its website.
