Mighty Line Minute with Dave Tabar - Talking Safety Codes & Standards, Music, and Business Innovation
On July 13, 2026, Union Pacific Big Boy No. 4014 rolled through Rocky River, Ohio, drawing thousands to witness one of the world's largest operating steam locomotives. But this wasn't just a train excursion—it was a journey through history. In this episode of Mighty Line Minute, we explore how Rocky River evolved from an early frontier settlement into a thriving railroad community. From Colonel John Bradstreet's 1764 expedition and the historic 1882 Rocky River Depot to the Lake Shore Electric interurban and the arrival of Big Boy 4014 during America's 250th anniversary celebration, discover how railroads helped shape both the city and the nation. Join us as we connect history, community, and the enduring legacy of America's railroads.
