- Southern Pacific 4449, a restored Daylight 4-8-4 steam locomotive that pulled fast passenger trains between Los Angeles and San Francisco around the middle of the 20th century, was captured at four locations as part of a roundtrip from Portland, OR (her home) and Owosso, MI for a steam locomotive convention. A monopod was used at the first 3 locations, so there is a bit of "waviness" in those scenes.
5:43 This is the best this whistle has sounded out of all the times I have heard it.
Listen from 2:44 to 3:00 with your eyes closed it’s awesome
Love the use of the SP's air horn!
The whistle on 4449 always got my attention. But the air horn does seem to be louder. I guess that's why they used it on the coast during foggy conditions.
1:13 the horn is a beast❤️🚂🚂
its an airhorn
That was a great time. I saw myself in your August 3rd shots.
gorgeous!!!
The long telephoto shots of the engine are nice, but the photographer being right on the right of way - just feet from a 250 ton locomotive and 10 or more 80 ton cars - demonstrates how little an understanding of railroading and safety around machinery most people have.
1:00-1:14 whistle and horn
sp 4449 is my favorite train
great video of this excursion
The 4449 does indeed look good with the 261's coaches. Impressive.
@DocXmas - I'm a volunteer with the 4449 and the air horn only comes out when Doyle gets really pissed. Were people doing something stupid out of frame?
Doyle used the air horn numerous times when it was en route from Portland to Sacramento in 1991
Look up a couple of other videos, he almost put it in Emergancy for the idiots
In Naperville there was a woman taking photos on the tracks and then taking her time moving out of the way.
If the 4449 uses the horn, you or someone close to you is too close or doing something Stupid!
hi, the movies is excellent, thanks ★★★★★
Beautiful
4449 is soooo cool 😎
Awesome Video What Kind Of Camera Is THis?
uh, why is there an amtrac diesel pushing as well? Is the 4-8-4 not pulling under its own power?
Nathan Oakes the Amtrak supplies power to the passenger cars
And the Amtrak locomotive is also there for support just in case 4449 breaks down while on it's route
It has it's own power with daylight coaches
Amtrak Dash-8s Make the steam loco 3X-4X Faster, then it hits speed.
Amtrak's are there to serve 3 purposes.
1. Power to the cars
2. Dynamic braking system to help the main locomotive
3. If the steamer fails, the Amtrak works as a backup locomotive to bring the passengers and cargo to the destination safely.

What Kind Of Camera? Loved It When He blew the airhorn and everyone stepped back about 6 feet lol
Why was the horn used in the first clip? There weren’t people on the tracks
probobly behind the camera
They Tried to use that system for car on tracks then moved after the horn.
Ilove sp4449
