For a few days in April 2018, SP 4449 led a shiny string of silver BNSF business cars along the Columbia River Gorge between Vancouver and Wishram, WA. The locomotive was invited by the BNSF to participate in the taping of a promotional/educational IMAX film to premiere sometime in the future.
I chased the train on April 11th, starting in Vancouver and making my way down the line to Skamania. This was one of several stops that the train made so the film crews could reposition the large IMAX camera. At Wishram, the train was turned on the wye and stopped in Avery for servicing and more camera adjustments before continuing back to Vancouver.
With the recent announcement of Amtrak no longer wanting to sponsor charter excursions and special trains, the future of 4449's mainline outings is uncertain. The locomotive's all-volunteer crew have a good relationship with BNSF and events like this help to ensure that the engine will be invited back, at least on private occasions.
All footage was filmed with my Samsung Galaxy S7 and edited with VideoPad video editor. Be sure to watch in 1080p and turn up those speakers!
As always, thanks for watching!

*NOTE* For those who've been asking, the metal structure on the front of the locomotive was temporary rigging for the IMAX camera. The camera had been mounted on the left-front of the engine's smokebox that morning from Vancouver to Skamania. What you see from 3:20 to 4:10 is members of the film crew removing the camera and placing it in a different location on the engine. Because they did not have time to remove the front rigging at Skamania, they ran with it the rest of the way to Wishram and removed it later that afternoon. The movie that 4449 was out performing for is called "Train Time", a documentary/educational film done in partnership with BNSF about the workings of a modern rail system. The film is being directed by Stephen Low, the man behind the documentary "Rocky Mountain Express". While the film will center mostly around modern freight trains, 4449 (along with possibly a few other steam locomotives) is slated to make an appearance. For updates and more info on the film, check out Stephen Low's website. Oh, and I highly recommend checking out "Rocky Mountain Express" as well. -ERV

When I was a kid in grade school, our class went on a field trip - a train ride up the Columbia Gorge - thru tunnels all the way to Wishram. It was a cool trip for a 7 or 8 yr old boy - and loads of fun tangling our tongues over that name -- Wishram.

I do love to see a steam locomotive being operated properly like this!!! No black smoke from the stack and constant power/speed indicates that the steam cut-off is set perfectly and balanced with the throttle so the only visible exhaust is the condensing exhaust steam. It is always amazing that when the exhaust sounds are removed how quiet all that reciprocating and rotating machinery is and this video demonstrates that in spades. One of the best 4449 videos here on KZfaq.

Stafford Northern Railroad Locomotives aren’t supposed to have black smoke coming from the smokestack because that means there is poor fuel efficiency or the fuel is not being burned completely. An example of this was when 4449’s fire was run on diesel fuel in 1989. There was thick black smoke because the diesel wasn’t burning completely and they had to put in a lot because it emitted less heat than oil fuel. When the fuel efficiency is perfect and you’re only burning the fuel you need, the only visible exhaust will be the condensing steam, sometimes not even that.

This locomotive is the last one in existence. (except for a never streamlined one at St. Louis) all of the rest were scrapped. The Friends of 4449 are her caretakers. She is owned by the City of Portland, Oregon. Yes, millions of dollars and thousands of man hours have been put into her in order to preserve her in working condition. It's all a labor of love. Long may she operate in order to educate the "diesel only" hordes who have never seen a steam locomotive or ridden behind one.

( The first two verses of the poem "The Iron Horse" written by my father, Coleman Lee Williams, who was a SP. locomotive engineer, retired in 1965. Yes, he had run the 4449.) By tge way, I followed in his footsteps retiring from SP IN 1996, and I too had the pleasure of running the SP 4449

The locomotive was built by Lima Locomotive Works in Lima, Ohio, for SP in May 1941; it received the red-and-orange "Daylight" paint scheme for the passenger trains of the same name which it hauled for most of its service career. No. 4449 was retired from revenue service in 1956 and put into storage. In 1958, the SP donated the locomotive to the City of Portland, Oregon. The City then put the locomotive on static display in *Oaks Amusement Park*, where it remained until 1974. As a kid, I went to Oak parks many times and always spent a couple minutes gazing at ol' 4449. What a sight.

I wish I knew of this video before I stopped teaching! The pacing work is superb. I taught (computers/ technology) a section on the building of the Transcontinental Railroad and showed the students videos of steam engines in action. I'm 70 and remember seeing this and it's sister engines in service on the San Francisco peninsula and at Railfair in Sacramento. The first comment I got from a student after watching a steam engine was, "Is it on fire?!" I then explained how the locomotive works, in simple terms. This video could allow me to explain, or teach how it really works from the piston going back and forth, the valve gear, the firebox and boiler to the driving wheels. "Do you know the train moves forward or backward 80" on each revolution of the wheels?" Very amazing work. Thanks!

I remember in 1951 we lived in Douglas Arizona, used to go to the depot and see the Sunset Limited and the Golden State (la to Chicago) pass through. Usually the were pulled by diesel at that time but the lesser trains, Argonaut and Imperial were still steam. A lot of the time they had cab forward as power and it was a major procedure to lubricate the locomotives during the stop. Great to watch. Unfortunately the lines between Douglas and El Paso were pulled up in the sixties and now the Sunset limited runs from Tucson via Wilcox, lordsburg, and Deming to El Paso. Great memories. Thank you got this fine video.

This is a superb video, my 3rd time of watching. The pacing from around 6:40 and the long distance view that follows (until around 12:00) would be worthy of a video in itself. That pacing is almost hypnotic and is the best I have seen. Well done.

Anyone else notice that when he was driving beside the train the middle of the wheels and part of the arm turned red? There was also a point when the edge of the back wheel was red

It was the reflection of his red car. You can see it clearly on the drive cylinder

great cinematography. I really liked it when you were pacing 4449, and how it popped on the right.

Whenever I think "trains", the Daylight nearly always comes to mind. It's such an iconic design, that even those who aren't railway enthusiasts will think of this loco's image. I love that she's still in service and looking better than ever.

Grew up in San Francisco in the 40s/50s. Had friends in Palo Alto, we sometimes visited. When we did, the ritual was to go a couple of blocks to the SP mainline and wait for the Daylight to come thundering by. “Don’t get too close to the train, you’ll get sucked under!” The ground shook and the wind generated by the locomotive were awesome. How I wish we could all experience that today.
