- 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 4449 is a beauty 4449 is the
Best locomotive I've ever seen.
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...
Wow it’s great to see this video it brings back memories of 4449 traveling through Richmond California at the Richmond Amtrak station it was a sight to see !!
Love the Daylight GS-4 ... my all time favorite
The whistle sounds beautiful
Well done. Thanks for posting.
SP 4449 is my favorite train
great video of its Bend
and a rescue helicopter help find hots spots after a wild fire in that canyon
That's Bob Slover (aka Slover Over), standing up out of the cab at the beginning!
Some nice high vantage points add to the interest.
I think they should restore her sister and call her the moonlight
All steam is good. This is exceptional coverage. Thanks for posting this video.
This event was so popular:)
This whistle definitely fits her the most
Loved the shot at 7:44!
Nice catches! I wish I could see it. :(. Great Video
Wow! Even you got it! I wish I'd seen it.
but cool shots!
@@TrainsNStuff did you like the 4-8-4.
Great catches.
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.
Yes, it’s still in operationg condotion. The issue is that mainline operations are limited, specifically Amtrak’s. Same thing with Union Pacific due to the fact that they want only their engines from their Heritage Fleet, and their own road, yard, and MoW/Geometry trains to run on their mainline. However, 4449 is often times pulled out in late November and early December for the Holiday Express train ride on Oregon Pacific’s East Portland Division.
Great vid, many thanks for posting.
The Cuyahoga Valley scenic Railroad now owns two of the cars that were on the train, the silver lariat and the silver solarium
Southern Pacific 4449 did pretty good on excursions.
Awesome Video
Amtrak private cars is amazing!
How does her light work? Is there a motor behind it that swivels it?
Nice catch
*For the very 1st time since 2012*
4449 powers Amtrak Train 925 to Bend, Oregon and return with number 955 🚂🚃🚃🚃🚃🚃🚃🚃🚃🚃🚃🚃🚃🚃🚃🚃
9:25 sp 4449 está soprando o sp 3 chime whistle igual a voz da minha vovó Alice
Sp 4449 going to bend or and return 24th & 25th june 2017
Call Its very nice
what a 4-8-4 norther is it.
is she built by Lima in 1942.
One question will they used the new Amtrak for the sp 4449 trips
1:50 what’re the cylinders above the drivers?
And how come she takes an Amtrak with her? Kinda kills the beauty a little
Three years late, but those are cross compound air compressors.
Anyone ever wonder where 4449's bell is located?
it's located under the smoke box, you can see it at 2:48 mark
Yeah, as he said. It’s located behind the pilot and underneath the smokebox door.
@@railfanjackson4531 thanks it's just hard to see and find
Yes
Just saw it. How’s it ringing? I don’t see it moving
4449 is 100% true on the world
Nice video! Stop by Southern Idaho if your in the area!
It sensata
. Et CV juste
Looks to me as if the Amtrak diesel #93 was doing all the work on the return trip! No smoke or steam from 4449!
Bogusbits 93 was not helping in any way except helping power the cars
Normally I would agree, but the video at 16:18 clearly showed no steam or smoke escaping from the steam engine while going uphill and serious black smoke and engine noise coming from the diesel.
In that shot, 4449 is actually going down hill not up. That shot was taken 500ft from when it stopped to get serviced
@@bogusbits6810 A well fired steam locomotive will show little or no smoke/steam.
