I haven’t. They have their own videos I’ve already uploaded. Feel free to check them out. You will find them readily in my recent upload list. You’ll find them all and more in my ORHC playlist, including Nickel Plate Road 170.
To my knowledge, it is still Doyle McCormack. While retired from Union Pacific (2017) and from President of ORHF (2019), he is still active with SP 4449, NPR 170, and of course the installation of the Brooklyn Turntable. No where do I find anything about his hanging over the reigns as engineer of SP 4449; though doubtless that will happen sooner or later. I’m sure when he does, there will be unequivocal evidence of it; but as of a June 2022 East PDX News article, he is stated as “still a loyal crew member of the historic SP 4449 locomotive”.
dont forget the two other locomotives in there!
