Ian Lee traces this summer's cross-country journey of the world's largest locomotive, known as Big Boy.
As part of America's 250th birthday celebration, Union Pacific is sending Big Boy, the largest, heaviest and most powerful steam locomotive in the world, across the country. Ian Lee reports.
The proposed $85 billion merger of Union Pacific and Norfolk Southern railroads, which would create the first U.S. transcontinental railroad, has lost the support of two major unions.
A U.S. official said all indications suggest the victims were migrants being smuggled into the country illegally.
The news comes after a Norfolk Southern train derailment in East Palestine, Ohio, earlier this month and Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg announced reforms to improve the safety of the rail system.
