Date: 09/13/19 17:50 Re: The SP 4449 on the Oregon Pacific Railroad Author: nycman Let's hope that this icon of steam preservation can keep running on these trips. I participated in many of the Holiday Express trips in years past, and enjoyed every minute of it. If Amtrak insurance is no longer available to get 4449 out on the mains again, then let those who have never seen this beauty in the past, experienc the wonder of seeing her do what steam locomotives do.

Date: 09/14/19 17:57 Re: The SP 4449 on the Oregon Pacific Railroad Author: EsPee1229 The cycling/running path parallels the railroad the whole way. I believe it's actually on the r/w by agreement with OPR.
Doyle must be sick or on a world tour! Keith in Roseburg Date: 09/14/19 18:51 Re: The SP 4449 on the Oregon Pacific Railroad Author: RailRat Exellent video!
Great study of the running gear and rods all working together, along with that sound too!
