    Some railroads, during steam travel days, created iconic trains which showed the pride they had for their company and appreciation of their customers.

      Why did you even come on here anyway, if you have nothing good to say about anyone?
      They appear to be quite happy and from their ages, it wouldn't be a surprise that they actually rode that train when it ran its schedule. So stop critiquing people because they found a bit of happiness. It doesn't look good on you.

    We road the 4449 The Christmas Express last weekend of November 2019. My 7 year old loves trains more than anyone i know. I am positive he will be working on a railroad one day. His knowledge of trains is beyond his years. He is extremely heart broken the E2 tank engines were all scrapped, but thankfully they live on forever through Thomas the Tank Engine.

    Great video of two amazing Steam Engines! I've always wondered, though, why they SP didn't initially equip the 4449 with Roller Bearing trucks on the engine and tenders, or upgrade them at a later date, the UP 844, 3985 and 4014 are all set up on Roller Bearings, a lot more reliable, far less maintenance, less prone to overheating and just better overall.

      4449's boiler actually runs on diesel fuel because the next coal mines were too far away . It was cheaper to use diesel than to get coal from 1000 miles away. Burning diesel fuel is the reason 4449 doesn't belch dark smoke.

      Amtrak provides the HEP for the cars and rents the cars to the excursions so there are more seats. 4449 can't make electricity for the cars on here own. 261 and 611 have combine cars that have a generator in them. Also, Amtrak has the insurance to cover excursions and the experience in passenger service (the insurance is the big reason the other Class 1's are really only doing steam excursions that are run under the Amtrak umbrella and insurance).

      I had to settle this argument in the past about WHY a P42 was on the train... Because Amtrak partly sponsored the run and has insurance for passenger service. The P42 is put in the lash-up to provide the 3 phase AC HEP that modern coaches require to operate. An Added bonus is the P42 can hep with keeping the train under control more efficiently with it's dynamic brakes so there is no major wear on the steam locomotives brake or wheels.
      The locomotives have steam driven dynamos that were for HEP and powering headlights and marker lamps, but they only provide about 90 volts AC, which was fine back in the days when 4449 ran the main daily because back then the coaches only needed power for lighting, Air Conditioning was not a thing on trains yet in fact if you needed air you opened a window, Heating was powered by steam from the locomotive. Same for cooking in the diner cars, all mostly steam heated. Today's coaches have electric heaters, and air conditioning. A private coach may have added features like a kitchen that is all electric (Bottled gas is not very safe being used in that environment), AC mains sockets for TV sets, radio, computers , etc..
