Steam Shop Tours

Take advantage of this rare opportunity to tour the Union Pacific Steam Shop! Public tours are being offered. There were just twenty-five of the massive Big Boy steam engines ever built, and only 8 remain today. Now’s your chance to visit the Steam Shop where Big Boy # 4014 is undergoing a restoration to operating condition, with the goal to run the rails once again. Public access to the Steam Shop is generally only offered once a year, but Union Pacific Railroad understands people’s desire to get up close and personal to these iron horses, so they’ve set up a handful of tour dates! This opportunity is not available in any other city. Cheyenne’s train attractions bring in thousands of “trainiacs” every year. The community is lucky to have this in our backyard.  These tours include admission to the Cheyenne Depot Museum and transport to the Steam Shop on the Cheyenne Street Railway trolleys. All this for just $20 per person. Tickets may be purchased at the Depot Visitor Center or by calling 307-778-3133.
