We received this invitation from Ignition Strategy Group and wanted to forward to our contingency.
"We wanted to extend a personal invitation to the I-70 Chamber of Commerce and your members to the historic Union Pacific "Big Boy" train stop—the world's largest operating steam locomotive—which will return to Colorado in late July 2026 as it completes its historic coast-to-coast tour celebrating America's 250th Anniversary. The colossal, 1.2-million-pound train will make whistle-stops in Kit Carson and Strasburg, a private event in Denver on July 28 and a stop in Greeley on July 29.
On Monday, July 27 there will be a Whistle-stop in Strasburg, CO from 3:45 p.m. to 4:15 p.m. at Main St. Crossing.
Also we would like to extend an invite-only opportunity to view the Big Boy Steam Locomotive up close and personal. Please pass along this invitation to anyone else who may be interested and your membership.
Date: July 28, 2026
Time: 10am-Noon
