- The epitome of American streamliner steam locomotives, Southern Pacific Daylight Number 4449 hauled a colorful mix of passenger cars from Portland to Bend, Oregon on 24 June 2017.
(See Airailimages video of Union Pacific Big Boy locomotive: • Union Pacific Big Boy ... )
The route for 4449 was along the north shore of the Columbia River and on to Bend, Oregon. (Have you subscribed to the Airailimages Channel on TH-cam? Playlisted this video? Thanks!)

As a retired SP locomotive engineer, I still consider steam locomotives as REAL."railroading". Yes, I have run this beauty.
My father worked in engine service with SP from 1920 to 1965, and my career was from 1950 to 1996. My father wrote poetry, and I will share a bit of his poem, The Iron Horse.
From out of the distance comes a wail
As of as of a soul in deep travail
And a rushing monster with a fiery eye
Lets out a scream to the moonless sky.
which locomotives did you run?
Can you send me the whole thing?
I remember when it was scrapped for metal decades ago.
The computer simulations are really good these days.
It looks like the real thing.
@@Gma7788 who the hell are you?
@@Gma7788 can you tell the train name
So retro and yet so futuristic at the same time.
That was the whole point of the daylight
Art Deco
years ago, a good friend survived a terrible car wreck. Long story short, after his physical recovery and financial recovery he drove over for a visit. He had his Ford painted like Daylight, had graphics made (this was in the 80's) a seriously loud air horn installed and he went about driving his dream, the Daylight. Very awesome to see this video and understand what he explained about the sounds the real thing made. George I hope you are doing well.
That's a great story. Thanks for commenting.
Awesome video! I rode in one of the double decker glass cars behind that locomotive some years back before I started on TH-cam. We rode it from Rock Island, Illinois across the Government bridge into Davenport and then on west somewhere. We turned on a wye and returned later that day. It was a huge rail fest with other steam locomotives but I can't remember the year. This brings back those memories
As a child I'd have never thought of mixing such a hodgepodge of cars behind locomotive like this, what a beautiful set up, it's like a work of art.
0:41 Beautiful Echo of 4449's Whistle
its nice that we decided to preserve his beautiful piece of history
I agree. The 4449 is a beauty.
Ther is also the freedom stem train that was pretty similar to daylight
Most gorgeous thing ever to ride the rails. That's a rolling piece of American history. It's an honor to see it still huffing and puffing after so many hard working years. Southern Pacific knows what they have in this train. An AMERICAN ICON!
Southern Pacific was bought out by Union Pacific in the mid 90’s, 4449 is owned and maintained by the Oregon Rail Heritage foundation, and UP won’t let her on their tracks anymore.
Hello g
@@Flyboy207 P
I remember when I designed this train.
I also remember building it by myself in my rail blacksmithing shop.
I said to myself that I'll be driving it too.
This ended up in my watch later playlist for some reason and I do not regret watching it
Glad you found it, and glad you enjoyed it!
In the UK we love our Steam Trains, but I have a soft spot for these ‘Lima’ built Steamers, as they also built the Lima 2400 Crane / Excavator possibly the best in the world 👌🏻😎
Same over here, We have many preserved across the country
Rode on this train as a child and it was one of the greatest moments of my childhood. I was a train junkie when I was young and it so hard to explain how I felt seeing this in real life. Truly something I will never forget. Brings a tear to my eye every time I see it.
My mom and I rode the Shasta Daylight from Portland to San Francisco and return about 5 times back in the early '50s. As a young lad on the train, I had full access to all the cars, as long as I was under strict control. It was such a beautiful trip. My favorite memories of the trip was passing through Shasta Lake and Mt. Shasta area and into Dunsmuir. Also, the ferry boat from Oakland to San Francisco was fun. The trips on the Daylight are some of my most favorite memories as a child. I still visit the 4449 during the Christmas holidays on its short run on the east side of the Willamette River into Portland.
Good memories! Thanks for watching and commenting. I had one ride in the San Joaquin Daylight when I was 5.
The old girl looks brand new. Many thanks to all who made these beautiful and historic moments possible and thanks for the exceptional video work. A real class act.
@Southern Pacific 4449 OK, my mistake, forgive me for my freudian slip, it's "Old Boy".
@Southern Pacific 4449 no idea why they call you a girl
And also 4014 is being called a girl about that hes a boy
@@Runboyrun05 I'm not trying to be argumentative here, but locomotives as well as ships have historically been referred to as female.
I get annoyed almost daily by freight trains blocking traffic here in New York's Hudson Valley area (mostly carrying oil, lumber, even garbage, ETC). But THIS train is a Beauty to Behold, mesmerizing like a living, breathing powerful piece of American History. THIS train can block my road forever & I wouldn't complain, LOL! I hope it will be maintained for future generations to enjoy and to learn from.
1guy'sview oh don't u worry, every generation will marvel at this as long as the earth doesn't explode or anything g
1guy'sview I know right? block my road forever, need dem vieeeeeeews

It's remarkable to think that once upon a time, magnificent machines like these were in daily service all over the U.S. I get that diesels are more efficient, etc., but damn, steam was something to behold.
My brother and I got to see this when we were kids in the 80s when our father work for the Southern Pacific Railroad police in Lordsburg, New Mexico. One of our favorite memories
Thanks for adding your story, and thanks for watching.
Thank you Airailimages for that beautiful video. As a former over the road truck driver there have been many times that I’ve traveled the interstate from Portland to Bend Oregon in the Colombia River Valley and have seen that R R right of way. That is truly a beautiful journey that you’ve captured so wonderfully in this video. Again thank you.
And thank you for watching and commenting. We appreciate it.

The whistle reminds me of my childhood days at Dimapur,Nagaland,India....so Sweet and nostalgic sounds....really Life and lifestyle has changed dramatically and drastically....
Thank you for watching and commenting. This video has received a lot of interest from viewers in India, and we appreciate that.
My Maternal Grandfather served as a Conductor on the Daylight for ten years.
Good to have family memories like that. Thanks for watching and commenting.
It brings my old days I trVelled in this type of train from Delhi to kerala. It chNges the colour of my body and dress. I cant forgetthe whisling sound of these trains. I think of those inventors of train They are really appreciable in all respect. The biggest vehicle inthe world that runs with the heat of fire. Thank you.
Thank you for watching and for sharing your story.
The stars on her wheels look awesome!! She's an amazing piece of machinery and her colors suit her!
The whistles at 4:29 and 4:37 had me absolutely shook! They’re the most beautiful sound I’ve ever heard
Hey, thanks for watching and commenting!
@Southern Pacific 4449 hi
Yo
That whistle is 🔥
Yup!
I saw this beautiful locomotive at the Oregon Rail Heritage Center in Portland back in July of 2016 during a vacation there. There was even a set of portable stairs set up to allow visitors to peek into the cab. Needless to say I'm very glad to have taken the opportunity to see this wonderful machine up close.

Words cannot describe the experience. How incredible it truly is.

Dude the 4449 in the first clip is AWESOME!!!!!
Thanks! Glad you liked it.

That Whistle 🙌
I have been collecting the Daylights in HO for 30 years now, been living in Alaska since 1992 and I'm thinking of moving down to central WA just to be near this train, to build a model railroad of it as well.
What a great steam locomotive! I hope your plans work out well for you.
From England, I love the sheer scale of this engine and the Oregon scenery, please keep her running.
Hello England! Thanks for watching and commenting. It gives me great pleasure to live in the big American west; this scenery is great for trains.

Behind the engine and two tenders is a diesel booster unit. Apparently, the steam engine was inadequate to pull the load without a booster engine.
How the hell does this have over 500 dislikes? It’s a wonderfully shot vid featuring arguably the most beautiful steam locomotive ever built!
Thanks for watching and commenting. I don't have a good answer on the number of dislikes; can't figure it out. It has been getting a lot of views outside the U.S., and I wonder if dislikes are more frequently used in some other countries? Other than that possibility, I got nuthin'
The N&W J class 611 running in Virginia is a pretty gal too.
some people are just idiots and/or arseholes
Because it's too slow (I did hit the like button by the way)
Beautiful 😍 love the red, orange and black paint. Spectacular!
What a surprise it was when the train stopped at the Avery crossing for twenty minutes. I thank my lucky stars for being there and what a thrill it was to see the #4449 up close. I'm in the background there also and thank you for recording this video so I can relive that great day.
You're welcome! Thanks for watching.

It really is a beautiful sight to me when I see 4449. If I am sad, seeing that engine really brightens me up.
And thank you for watching and commenting.
Incredible...looks amazing....Awesome job on this video too...Thank you so much
Magnificent....Brings a tear to the eyes.....So powerful and a thing beauty, craftsmanship, and engineering.

What a beauty she is! Runs like a Swiss watch and even the whistle sounds great! Love that awesome black and orange paint scheme.

Beautiful , WONDERFUL OLD MEMORIES !!!!! Watched the Shasta Daylight pass my home north of Klamath Falls in the 50''s, and MESMERIZED me everyday.
KEEP HER ROLLING !!!
Thank you for watching and commenting.
Positively awesome video of this beautiful "steamer", guys! This beauty has spent many years with our California Railroad Museum here in Sacramento, so I've had the pleasure of seeing it up close and personal many times. Always wonderful to see it moving along, doing what it was built to do. Many thanks!
I bet that was great to see a Daylight back in home territory. Thanks for watching and commenting.

I was the rear brakeman on the last regularly scheduled run of that great train. Summer 1966, from Gerber to Oakland. It was so sad to see her go, but SP really wanted out of the passenger business. For that entire last week, we had rail buffs from all over.
Thanks for adding that story.
Great film thank you very much
You are very welcome. Thanks for watching and commenting. We're planning on covering the debut of Union Pacific Big Boy in May...
Wow, what a grand old lady.sitting here with my two year old daughter and she's spellbound by this. Lovely.
I just love that rotating light on the locomotive
Yes -- definitely part of the character of the SP Daylight. Thanks for watching!
This shows how beautiful Oregon is
It was great countryside for a big steam excursion. Thanks for watching!
Oregon has tremendous diversity of scenery...ocean to desert and everything in between.
When I hear that powerful horn honking with proud, I am feeling like hipnotized. Thank you so much for sharing this wonderful video. Greetings from Brazil.
You are welcome! Good to hear from Brazil!
@@airailimages Do you know of any blue bonnets in museums?
Hey, thanks for watching. Well, Bluebonnet could mean a classic passenger train of the MKT line in Texas, or it could mean the blue-and-yellow paint scheme on some Santa Fe diesels.
It’s actually the whistle that’s blowing.

WOW!!!! this is what trains were like back in the days. My dad showed Me this and I was without a doubt amazed. A lot prettier than silver and blue LOL. Thanks for showing this.
You are welcome. Thanks for watching.
Truly, "The Queen of Steam". Thank you for a great glimpse of steam in action. 👍
Glad you enjoyed it!
Rode this train many, MANY times between 1945 and 1955. At least twice a year, and sometimes more often, as we lived in Indio and had much family in the Bay Area. Got to ride it again on an excursion to Redding, CA in the early 1990's. What a beautiful train. Steam power on the rails is ALWAYS a thrill. My dad was a steam engine buff and could never utter the word DEISEL with out putting the word STINKY in front of it!! LOL!! THANK YOU. . . .
Thanks for your comments. Glad the video could bring back good memories.
I have run the SP 4449, during my career as an SP locomotive engineer. Great locomotive. Railroading changed with the demise of steam
@@jerrywilliams8292
Great train! I was born in railroadman's family at the end of 1950ths in USSR. And in1974-1975 I worked as locomotive repairman. A lot of locomotives went through my hands and I can appreciate steam locomotives. This steam train is beautiful.
Lucky!
i remember vividly that one time i think in the early 2010s i was a taking a ride on the amtrak capital corridor to oakland from old town sacramento and i for a second in a rail yard saw one of these engines only a few weeks after learning about them. its crazy how that happens you learn about something and then you just start seeing it in places
Yes -- and hard to miss it once you have seen this beauty. Thanks for watching.
Beautiful,it gives a feeling of civilization,it puts people together,and the horns sound lovely.I think the world is fighting for its surviving,showing its good things to be aproved by the forces of the Universe and then not dying.
It's too bad railroads will no longer be around a hundred years from now, but what a show these locomotives put on for us in this short window of time. I am privileged to have been born in and part of a time when these great beasts [steam and diesel electric] were hauling our needs around the country.
hermoso paisaje 😘 me gustaría viajar en esos lugares tan lindo cerro gracias por estos VIDEOS
Y gracias por mirar y comentar.
The 4449 GS (Golden State) lives on. PBS aired a special about this engine some 10 or more years ago. What a train. The men who manned that engine, at that time, had a great thrill on the trip they made. Got to see that Engine back in 1976 when it made a trip through St. Louis, Mo. down at the Gateway Arch. Done up in different colors at that time. Would have to pull my color slides out and take a look at them again. Enjoyed the video. Job well done! Oh and I love those Vista Dome coaches. A great look back at yesteryear and now.
Daylight is the best steam train
that was beautiful, my son and I both loved it. Thank you!
You are both very welcome. Thanks for commenting.
Tremendous trip both ways. Some equipment issues (A/C failed on the old Horizon cars) but the volunteers were superb. Equipment issues foiled the runby opportunities but that was a small sacrifice for such a great trip. Thanks to the Friends of the 4449 for a fantastic ride, especially up the Upper Deschutes Canyon to Madras. Would do it again in a heartbeat.
Thanks for your trip report!
It was fun seeing all you guys outrun the train! Thanks so much for the video!
You are welcome. Thanks for watching.
I rode the GS Daylight in 1956 from Oakland to LA. I was 16 years old. Love it!
Duke Money ..Lucky young man..
Duke Money That's how old I am right now. it would of been amazing I have had a chance!
Duke Money, oh I turned 16 in '56 too. Loved the steem trains.
Duke Money M
hey thats like the extinction of sp gs class northerns cause these ended in 1957 and replaced by f7,e8,and Alco PA's diesels of course
That's just plain majestic. Thank you!
You are welcome! Thanks for watching.
I remember having travelled thousands of miles in trains in India pulled by steam engines in 50s and 60s. After traveling in a train pulled by steam engine and when you get down the person who comes to receive you could not recognise you because your face is fully covered with coal ash. We were a railway family. My father served Royal British Railways for 35 years.
Thank you for adding your story. We are happy you found the Airailimages Channel. Here's a link to the Union Pacific Big Boy steam locomotive operating with the 844 steam locomotive last year. We hope you will enjoy this and share the link. th-cam.com/video/3GSKb2fyWEY/w-d-xo.html

What a beautiful train, y would like to see them back using old and modern cars and same old steam locomotives! Thanks airailimages for taking us to the beautiful past times!!!!!
You are welcome. Thank you for watching.
In my younger days (a long time ago) I used to ride this train quite often. My grandfather was the General Secretary of the REA Union in San Francisco. That is how we were able to ride trains all the time, free! I sure hated seeing steam being replaced with gas turbine then diesel electric.
Superb video - the 4449 is so photogenic in the sunshine - & shows she can still fly when unleashed!
Muito lindo esse vídeo, esse trem é fantástico!!
Muito obrigado por assistir o Airailimages Channel e por seus comentários.
These were probably the most beautiful and elegant steam locomotives ever built.
Daylight 4449: "wooOOOOOOoooUUUUUUUUUUuuuuuuuuUUUu, wooOOOUUUuuuWOOW"
Translation: "Did you seriously transcribe the whistle?"
Me (starstruck): "Yeah, I totally agree..."
Bravo! This has been a very good work!
Thank you very much!
Thank you, for nostalgic travel.🙋
Our pleasure!
@@airailimages I very much enjoyed the ride, but ALL of the crew and organization failed to acknowledge the presence of the grand daugher and great grand daugher of the man that designed and was commissioned to build the train.... how disappointing!!!!
The Day Light is one of my favourite Steam Engines.
She's a beauty that's for Sure!
Yes! Thank you for watching and commenting.
Outstanding video! I grew up along the tracks in Bingen and Dallesport and the trains were a big part of my childhood. My grandfather had big farms there. I wish you could've gotten a shot of the train crossing the bridge near Wishram when the train cuts over to go up the Deschutes River. Pretty rare to see a train crossing that bridge let alone a srreamliner. Another good video op would have been the train going through Maupin way down in the canyon. Thanks!
What a design for a locomotive. I love the dome cars at the end of the train. I remember riding up there as a boy. Thanks for the video.
I was so happy to be able to ride this train!
I'm glad you did. And thanks for watching!
I have never seen a live steam locomotive I didn't like. I Love Live Steam Engines!!!!!
SP 4449 and the location of the last Blockbuster, I love it.
Extra cool! I live in Oregon, watch your aircraft videos, wow, gorgeous rail video, in gorgeous Oregon. Neat to see the young dude Engineer, keep'm running!
Thanks for watching and commenting. Yes, it is good to see younger folks with the skills to carry on with historical trains and planes.

One of my top 10 favorite steamers of all time!
Understandable!
That Whistle is awesome American Locomtives Are the best .
This was my favorite train growing up!
I would like to see this beautiful train come to through Mn. again like it did back in the 90's
Everything is bigger in the US - so are the trains! Very impressive!
Thanks for watching!
You are very welcome! But I have a question here: unlike most of the 1930s - 1940s vintage German Steam engines (e.g. series 01, 41, 44, 52, to name a few), engine 4449 seems running so clean as if it had passed the Californian low - emission regulations!! The German engines are as grimy as 80 years ago! I suppose 4449 is oil - fired, isn't it? Any answer would be greatly appreciated! Thanks in advance, merry Christmas! and I forget: thanks for this high - quality video, one of the best in resolution & sound I've watched so far!
Beautiful view. You are lucky man!
What a fabulous looking train, so beautiful and even though looks as if doubled up the power it portrays is astounding.
Superb filming, so well done.
Thank you very much!
Amazing shots! Gracias por compartir! Saludos desde Argentina!

When I hear that Engine SPEngine 4449 whistle, I can feel it in the pit of my stomach! Every time!
Absolutely right, Dorothy. When I first heard SP4449's whistle I knew exactly why my Grandfather made the railroad his lifes work. A VERY well done to the people who keep this marvel of engineering on the tracks, too.
Yes, we owe a cheer for those who will post such marvelous sights and sounds! I thought I was the only one from childhood that loved those sounds, but through this link I realize there are a bunch of old steam engine lovers. I'm 88 and would love one time to ride in one and be a part of the sounds from the inside, but I can only dream! lol
Thank you for watching and commenting!

If you’re standing next to her you can feel it everywhere, including inside your nose haha. It’s an incredible sound.

Glad you enjoyed it! Yes, that part of Oregon has a variety of interesting terrain.
@ 0:40 That wonderful harmonic sound of the 1940s coming alive as the 4449 whistle echoes against the buildings!! AWESOME!!!
That beautiful sounding GS-2 whistle
Amazing engineering build on the roll ! Great quality breath taking filming indeed ! The steamers had soul unlike the diesel electric locomotives.
