Is Jay Leno’s Garage big enough for the Big Boy?
The legendary comedian with a well-known passion for cars recently tried his hand at steel wheels, riding in the cab of Union Pacific’s Big Boy No. 4014 steam locomotive for an episode on ‘Jay Leno’s Garage.’
Union Pacific and the National Park Foundation welcomed Leno and his team on the iconic steam engine and Union Pacific’s heritage fleet cars during a tour across western Iowa in September – part of its Heartland of America tour covering 10 states over 8 weeks. Union Pacific is a key sponsor of the National Park Foundation, and the episode honors Union Pacific’s role transporting visitors to our nation’s parks, including Yellowstone, Zion, Grand Canyon and Death Valley, in the early days for their formation. Now, Union Pacific works to inspire the next generation’s love of the outdoors and curiosity about the world around them through the National Park Foundation’s Open Outdoors for Kids program.
