🚂 What a journey it’s been. From Big Boy No. 4014’s first-ever visit to the East Coast to the countless communities that welcomed us along the way, our coast-to-coast tour continues to be one for the history books. As we head back onto our home network, we want to thank @NorfolkSouthern for hosting #UP4014, along with the dedicated Union Pacific and Norfolk Southern employees who have helped us celebrate #America250 in style. Check the Steam Schedule to see where Big Boy is headed next: up.com/steam-schedule

@FreddyLA7 Glad you got back online !! Enjoy the rest of your journey- And thanks for sharing it all with us.

Hello again. We’re currently in Clemson, South Carolina. I’ve decided to come back here to document the final part of our road trip. The main reason I deactivated my account two weeks ago was that things became increasingly toxic. For some people, it’s unfortunately unfathomable that a good story can exist without some kind of hidden agenda behind it. There was even a Reddit group going through my entire account trying to find anything they could use to reveal my identity. I know this was only a small percentage of people, but after a while it became exhausting. During the last two weeks, I received so many kind messages on Instagram, and they really made me realize how many people genuinely enjoyed following the trip. Some people even told me that their grandparents regularly ask them, “What are the Germans up to today?” I think that’s really cool. I decided to continue because I realized that the overwhelming majority of people loved following along. A small group of very loud people shouldn’t be able to ruin something that brought so many others joy. I also want to clear something up, as people who follow me on Instagram already know. I’ve been to the United States before. This is not my first visit, and I’ve never claimed that it was. The last time I was here was in January 2022, when I visited New York and Philadelphia. A lot of people shared my Raising Cane’s post from November 2025 to make it look like I was secretly American. That post wasn’t from the United States, it was from my trip to Saudi Arabia. This is my first time back in the U.S. in more than four years, and apart from Boston, I’d never visited any of the places we’ve been to on this trip before. That’s probably why many people assumed it was our first time in America, because for all of these places, it actually was. And let me tell you, Ohio and Alabama are very different from New York City or Los Angeles. If you have any questions, feel free to ask. Thanks for reading.

@TB1Kinobe Needless replacement is warranted- This part is around $15 So best way to check it is replace it. But do know it does hold a charge - Don’t touch the leads - without Releasing any held voltage…

What's the best way to test this compressor part before needlessly replacing?

If you got a #trumpcard Your already a winner !!

@MatthewWielicki The ‘Ol Capicitor Trick - That service Company sucks for future Work, and references Hell they probably want $1200 for a fan motor Just don’t shock yourself people -

My AC quit cooling. The HVAC company quoted me over $600 to replace the capacitor. I went to Ace Hardware, bought the exact replacement for $27, swapped it out myself, and the AC was running again in minutes. Learn how to fix simple things. The money you save can go toward the things you actually enjoy instead of paying someone else for a 10-minute repair.

Tacoma Time in Texas #toyota #tacoma #texas

@EricLDaugh Tacoma Time in Texas !!

🚨 BREAKING: In a stunning blow to the "experts," Japanese automaker Toyota has REFUSED to produce the Tacoma pickup truck in Mexico — instead opting for TEXAS, USA as part of a $3.6 billion investment ANOTHER TRUMP WIN! 🇺🇸🇯🇵 Texas is set to gain 2,000 jobs from this investment alone 👏🏻 This is exactly what I voted for. And it will ONLY get better from here!

From Sacramento to Philadelphia, Big Boy #UP4014's historic coast-to-coast journey in partnership with @nscorp is more than a celebration of an iconic locomotive – it's a tribute to the people, innovation and determination that helped build America. As our nation marks 250 years, this legendary steam locomotive reminds us that progress belongs to those willing to go further, bridge distances and pursue what's possible. Thank you to everyone who joined us in Philadelphia over the Fourth of July weekend to witness history in motion. youtu.be/D3r9zmYutNo

Hurry - Hurry There goes The Train !

Today, President Donald Trump boarded a BNSF train led by our three America250 locomotives on the way to visit the new Theodore Roosevelt Presidential Library in Medora, North Dakota. At BNSF, we're proud of our heritage in powering the nation's westward growth and honored to have been a part of today's historic event.

As we get ready to celebrate #America250 with Big Boy #UP4014, we’re also marking an important milestone in our own story. On this day in 1862, President Abraham Lincoln signed the Pacific Railway Act – creating Union Pacific and setting a bold vision to unite the nation by rail. That vision helped transform America, driving economic growth, connecting communities and shaping the country’s future. More than 160 years later, that legacy still drives us – Union Pacific and @nscorp are working together to build a seamless transcontinental railroad that will keep our country moving. Here’s to the next 164 years of Building America!

@EdRussoWX What track are the using to get back south ??

Big Boy 4014 is about to leave its extended stay in Northeast PA and head to Philadelphia for the 4th. During the second week of July, it will make its way through Central PA, including Lebanon, Harrisburg, and Lewistown.

The knockout stage is set for the international soccer tournament, and so are the rules for crossing railroad tracks: ✅ Only cross at designated crossings ✅ Obey all railroad signs and signals ✅ Always expect a train ✅ If you get stuck on the tracks in your vehicle, find the blue and white sign posted at crossings and call the emergency number listed.

@FreddyLA7 Are you going through Scranton ?? You need to check out this train ! up.com/about-us/histo…

THE WORLD CUP TRIP HAS MADE IT TO PENNSYLVANIA!!! I’ve just counted, and this is already the 13th state of the trip.

In foggy conditions near Fresno, California, a van became stuck on the tracks as a train approached. Engineering employee Justin Stilwell acted quickly – calling it in, stopping the train and helping ensure everyone stayed safe. This June 24, on #EmergencyNotificationSign (ENS) Awareness Day, take a moment to recognize the blue and white #ENS sign posted near every railroad crossing. It provides a direct line to help stop trains and protect the public. 🛤️📞

@td_nash ME !!

Who’s your all time favorite number 7?🧐

@Evan_P_Grant Better stay out of the top of one - Was a better game than that!

It is not a good birthday. A grand slam by France. It is 5-0. This stadium is likely to be empty by the third inning. This is the most distressing set of beginnings I can recall watching this team.

@FreddyLA7 x.com/c130theherc/st…

Our connecting flight from Dallas to Canada has been canceled due to weather. They rebooked us on a flight tomorrow evening. We‘re gonna miss the Germany match💔

Quick action can save lives: See something unsafe at a railroad crossing? 📍 #FindTheSign 📞 Call the number + share the crossing ID – it’s a direct line to report emergencies ✅ Move away from the tracks

NEW: @BNSFRailway celebrates America’s 250th birthday in Fort Worth with a brand new engine painted for the occasion. @DanPatrick, a train buff, rode inside. “This is a dream of a guy who loves trains.” Fort Worth has been home to BNSF for four decades. @CBSNewsTexas
