SP 4449 excursion up the Columbia River Gorge on 7-3-2011
Рет қаралды 254,978
12 жыл бұрынRailfanning steam trains is a whole different game. Fast paced crazy action is hard to keep up with, but I try! Following the 4449 and Amtrak Heritage unit 156 on an excusion from Portland, Oregon to Wishram, Washington on July 3rd, 2011. While waiting for the westbound return from Wishram, I caught a BNSF Unit Grain with units 5520, 4403 and 5269 at Avery Road. Next, a stack train passes with units 4826, 4500 and 4487.
Let’s keep in touch.

I find it absolutely amazing that a steam locomotive like SP 4449 has so much raw power at its disposal that it can get up to 70mph or so and be carrying another locomotive (essentially dead weight) and more than a dozen fully loaded passenger cars. That's 1930's technology still going strong there!

vector6977 Exactly! SP 4449 is the perfect example of why I believe steam power is still a viable option for locomotives. The fuel source just needs to be cleaner. Like hydrogen maybe.

I can't imagine anyway to make hydrogen safe.

I've loved the 4449 since I was a 5 year old. If there's one thing I've always dreamed about, it's being in the cab of it and blowing it's whistle like crazy at 60 mph! I have an HO scale replica, I found a recording of the whistle and I use it near my replica. It's an awesome engine. To think she (the engine) was made in 1947! That's American steam for ya!

They can’t do these excursions anymore since Amtrak banned charter trains in March 2018. It can only run on a few miles of track in Portland, OR.

I am a marine engineer with lots of steam experience, including with reciprocating engines. In the beginning of this video they appear to be blowing condensate out of the cylinders. Is that such a problem that they basically have to stop and blow down before proceeding?
@neilybobmojo_railfanning 7 жыл бұрын
+the_frumious_bandersnatch It shouldn't be that much of a problem. Usually only a consideration when they are just starting out on something like a cold morning or when sitting for a long period. In these instances I'm thinking they are exercising good, safe habits, better safe then sorry, and putting on a show at the same time.
@manueljdaskalos 4 жыл бұрын
They have steam traps just like they do in marine/naval propulsion plants, and until things warm up, the comparatively cold metal causes lots of condensation that the traps let pass.
