Steam & Excursion > Three Decades LaterDate: 11/20/22 09:12 Three Decades Later Author: MacBeau The first image of 4449 is believed to be from Blackhawk Films, and was dated 1954 with no additional information. The second image was taken "thirty" years later by Richard Egen as the 4449 passed through Mojave, California.

Thus, NOT "fifty years later", only 30 years later. Date: 11/20/22 09:23 Re: Half-a-Century Later Author: MacBeau What the hell was I thinking this morning? Thanks for the catch.

I love seeing 2 GS class engines together. First photo that I can honestly say that I've seen this. There might be tons of photos ouf there, but I must spend to much time under a rock.

It was taken on the return. Edited 2 time(s). Last edit at 11/20/22 22:59 by johnsweetser. Date: 11/21/22 08:50 Re: Half-a-Century Later Author: MacBeau Thank you for the additional information. So much of the collection came with nothing but boxes of slides.
