🚂 Public Safety Advisory: Union Pacific Big Boy Locomotive
Attention Residents:
The Posen Police Department has been notified that the historic Union Pacific Big Boy No. 4014 steam locomotive is scheduled to travel through the area this week.
For those planning to view this incredible piece of history, please be advised that the train is expected to pass through Blue Island and cross the intersection of 140th Street and Western Avenue at approximately 12:00 PM (Noon) this Thursday, June 4, 2026.
⚠️ Important Safety Reminders
While we understand the excitement surrounding this event, your safety is our top priority:
Stay Clear of Tracks: Never stand on or too close to the railroad tracks. The "Big Boy" is massive and creates significant wind displacement as it passes.
Obey All Signals: Always obey railroad crossing signals and gates. Never attempt to cross the tracks until the gates are fully raised and it is safe to do so.
Park Safely: If you are planning to watch, please ensure you are parked in a legal, designated area. Do not block emergency access routes or traffic flow.
Stay Alert: Keep a close watch on children and pets at all times.
No Trespassing: Do not trespass on private property or restricted railroad property to get a better view.
We encourage everyone to enjoy this unique sight safely. Please be mindful of traffic congestion in the area around noon and plan your travel accordingly.
Stay safe, Posen!
