I was nine years old when they pulled it out of oak park to rebuild this beautiful locomotive. I first saw this it in Springfield Oregon and toured its freedom train cars as school field trip . And been love with the old girl since.
The pictures at 12:00 and onward are amazing. If my dad and I would have stayed up longer I'm pretty sure he would take pictures that were similar to these
That's a great question. They didn't completely intrigue Us and show Her getting filled, but I'm guessing it was some sort of nostalgia thing they were going for, because the ole girl has been burning oil ever since I first saw Her on Pentrex in 1995.
She can't load up with coal, as her tender is completely covered, so it carries oil. But if she ran on coal, they would use a hopper, and not an excavator.
That's a really good question. There are only 4 or 5 SP Daylight coaches that I know of that are still being used on 4449 trips. Not sure where the ones from the 80's and 90's went.
Why is American railroading so freaking NOISY! It's near impossible to hear the loco. Still, I'm liking this video, seeing a goodly number of locos in steam at a roundhouse is wonderful, thanks.
It's simply a courtesy to the automobiles that they share their tracks with. I'm sure you'd rather hear some whistle blowing than get to a crossing without mechanical arms and get hit.
Perfect to be cut apart & sent to the scrap yard & foundry! Of course the black market will pay lucrative sums of CASH for many of the parts removed from this relic of pot metal!
I don't think it's a great idea that people are hanging out of the baggage cars and other doorways as the train is passing at speed. Just one person gets injured or killed and they'll stop doing these runs.
To warn people that the monster is on the move. Note that you dont hear much when the engine is drifting. ALL locomotives, diesel, electric or steam have bells to warn of danger.

Gary Dennis jr Gary my story mirrors yours exactly. Although I'm older. I remember before my son was born getting inside the fence and climbing around on all the locos there. Great memories.

Always LOVE when she's at full song steaming by and the whisle going off :).
Thank you for posting this, I've really enjoyed watching it!
Elles sont toutes magnifiques mais la 4449 est ......pas assez de mots pour dire sa beauté 😍
I always love the trains
11:40, great shot!
Can't wait to see 4014 join them! very impressive!
4449
神前博子 he means That 4014 might join 4449
Awesome footage. Sometimes I wish I could see Sp4449 but sadly im not living in the USA.
Were did you live

Mate the whole turntable sequence and stills is top shelf!! Lovely vid all round. Good on you and many thanks ;)
I was at that festival with my dad but we didn't get to see it at night
Great Video! 1225 is not a Northern. She is a 2-8-4 Berkshire. Sister locomotive to the Nickel Plate 765.
I wish i could see it come to Michigan again....
I wish it came back to Michigan as well and I want to see it with my mom since she never got to see a daylight in person and she really wants to.
all that was missing from Lima super power was 614 for that night shot!
Hey it's me. The 1225
Great video!
I was at that festival
At 1:53 they seem to be loading her up with coal. I thought she was an oil burner. Am I wrong?

+william wike ok thanks

Looks like they are using the excavator to lift the lid off of the sand dome.
So 4449 got to see her relatives(1225, 765 and 4449 were built by Lima)
I was born in 2009😉😃
you're too young to be on youtube

I may have been there
How come SP 4449 never seems to be pulling SP coaches?
That's a really good question. There are only 4 or 5 SP Daylight coaches that I know of that are still being used on 4449 trips. Not sure where the ones from the 80's and 90's went.
12:06 the polar express!
nice
What was the coal for?
She’s oil fired.
@@aaron-prime117 optical illusion. Using the excavator as a crane to remove the power generator
@@jrobe1429 power generator?
They should do this but 844, 3985, and 4014 with all of these engin
except 4999 isnt part of union pacific
@voidjavelin23 yeah but honestly I don't understand why they don't like to run other railroads steam programs together
Is your intro actually real as in did all those trains pass at once?
Well if u watch the Amtrak train, u can see it fade away because of editing. However, I can't see any signs of editing with the freight and 4449

I love the 1225 but I prefer the 4449 over the 1225

Why do American locomotives have that stupid noisy bell?
