Project Roar Publishing

Seeing the Union Pacific Big Boy 4014 in person is an incredible experience, but sharing it with my grandson made it truly special. As you can tell by his Thomas hat, he already loves trains! 🚂

At Project Roar Publishing we spend a lot of time documenting history, but it is just as important to pass this hobby down to the next generation of collectors. Trains are the perfect way to get kids away from screens and engage all their senses. Between the sheer size of the engine and having trains 360 degrees around us, he was on sensory overload but loved every minute of it.

Union Pacific did an awesome job hosting this tour and keeping steam history alive.

Who else got the chance to see the Big Boy on its tour?
