Steam & Excursion > 4449 in todays media

Todays run was pretty well covered by the local media. KOIN channel 6 (CBS) had helicopter footage and trainset footage running on its noon and 5pm news casts. I\'m not sure of the other tv stations. From what I\'ve been told there will be broadcasts from the train next week. The Oregonian\'s (newspaper)"A&E" section had three seperate mentions of the Artrain and the 4449 being there to pull it. The ORHF, along with the three locomotives, was mentioned in Johnathan Nickolas\'s column brief asking when is Portland going to wake up and take action on getting these locomotives a permanent home.

Not bad coverage for an event that opens tomarrow!

Hope you can all make it out for the festivities!

Smoke, I missed you today. Was that you riding the pilot? May have you on video at the Hillsboro wye.

So... I\'m planning to head out to Hillsboro tomorrow, is it possible to get many good pics of 4449 where it\'s parked?
