Marcus Leshock checks out Big Boy No. 4014, the world's largest operating steam locomotive as it makes its way across the country. We also spoke with Big Boy's lead engineer Ed Dickens. The massive train is 1.2 million pounds and 133 feet long. It made a day-long stop in West Chicago, Illinois as it tours across the country to celebrate America's 250th birthday.
