Holiday Express 2015

This one's a bit of a throwback. Since Southern Pacific 4449 is taking a break from Holiday Express duties this year, here's some footage from the first time I saw it pulling that train back in 2015 (my first experiences with it in general are much older). Because it's so hard on the track of shortline Oregon Pacific, this time 4449 took a break and Polson Lumber Company 2, which is on its way from Garibaldi to Lebanon, took over for a year. In the future, Mt. Emily Lumber Co. 1, which will soon call the Oregon Rail Hertitage Center home, will likely be power of choice, followed by OR&N 197 once its restoration finally finishes.
