Southern Pacific 4449 hit the mainline for the first time since 2012! A few friends and I made the drive up to Portland, OR to see it prepare for its trip to Bend. The next day we make our way to our first shot where we find out the train has already been delayed an hour and a half, after the train finally gets moving is when the fun starts.

The whistle sounds beautiful

the audio in particular is wonderful - the whistle action alone is spectacular. I chased 4449 over Stevens pass in the 80's, amazing she is still around and is still so impressive...

When it comes to trains Steams are my favourite *especially UP 844*, however I also like 4449 to. Although I am curious if it still runs on its tracks today? It was definitely smart of them to replace the fueling for burning oil rather then coal. However I hope as the years pass by, we still get to see steam trains but with different fuelling to them. Seeing these bad boys run on the railroads sure do put a sunny day on my rainy parade. I’ll also be very glad to be working on the railroads someday. However I sadly don’t think I would be running steam trains. Maybe someday I will run that 844.
