Lehigh Valley with Kids

06/14/2026

Earlier this morning my husband went for a bike ride up past Jim Thorpe and saw Big Boy 4101!

Big Boy No. 4014 is the world’s largest operating steam locomotive. Of the eight remaining Big Boys in existence today, No. 4014 is the only one still in operation and is currently on tour to celebrate America 250!

This train was on its way to Steamtown in Scranton where it will be available to view for the rest of June before hitting the rails again
^ Steamtown is expecting daily large crowds so it is HIGHLY recommended to make a reservation online
