👏 Shoutout to our Jenks Paint Shop team for traveling from North Little Rock, Arkansas, to repaint steam locomotive Big Boy No. 4023 at its home at Lauritzen Gardens, Omaha's Botanical Center. This legendary locomotive greets millions of travelers each year as they cross into Omaha from Iowa on I-80. Thank you, Jenks team, for the skill and care in preserving this piece of Union Pacific history!
