That opening song made me shed a tear. I would do anything just to see 4449 run the Coast Daylight route just once in my lifetime

I thought the song would never end. 😅

#4449's 1st Excursion was given to go-ahead by the Southern Pacific.

[@T128Productions]

Which was long before the railroad was bought out by the Union Pacific.
On the bright side, at least SP #4449 still runs.

[@jacksalvin364]

Where do you find these rare videos? They are so fascinating.

[@NickelPlatedProductions]

On old VHS tapes for the most part. I've found a handful of shows on Betamax tapes as well. I've found them on Ebay & at train shows on occasion.

[@isaiahtheclassichistorian]

@@NickelPlatedProductionsOhh I see. Nice finds then.
