The large 4-8-4 was never retired and she heads out of the Twilight of Union Pacific Steam and she kept going was Up 844.

The exciting saga of the West's two most famous steam locomotives continues. As Goodheart productions presents, a 57 minute, 2-in-1 videotape, 8444 down the Deshutes and 4449 over the Siskyous. Follow Union Pacific's 8444, on a two day excursion train run, in May 1989, from Portland to Bend, Oregon, and return through the rugged Deshutes River Canyon, and over the high trestles of the remote, Inside Gateway line. We subtitle this half of the tape, part 2 of 8444 The Great Steam Trek, because it pick's up the action where that tape leave's off, showing 8444 roaring across Idaho, climbing the Blue Mountains of Oregon, and hugging the Columbia River to Portland. 8444 Down the Deschutes, complete's the story of the 4-8-4's epic 5 week journey from Cheyenne, Wyoming to Portland, via Los Angeles, California, where the locomotive participated in the 50th anniversary of Los Angeles Union Passenger Terminal. Ride with our camera's as we record the eastbound action over the Blue Mountains and across the expansive Wyoming, until 8444 ties up in Cheyenne to await renumbering to 844. In December 1988, a train watcher's fantasy came true as Southern Pacific Railroad and Rio Grande Industries operated America's most colorful steam locomotive, Daylight 4449, over one of the Pacific Northwest's most fabled railroad line, the twisting, curving, climbing Siskyou line, in Southern Oregon. Rio Grande and Southern Pacific wanted to give shippers and the press a first hand look at their new combined railroad operation, so they assembled and immaculate train of sparkling business cars and spotlessly clean diesel locomotives. The drama if frontispiece of this train was 4-8-4 #4449, and what a sight she made as she stormed the Siskyou line, on two clear cool day's in December. The Siskou line itself, was the ideal showcase for 4449's thundering performance. With 2.2 percent grade's, still guarded by semaphore signals. Share in this rebirth of passenger train glory and mountain railroading, in Goodheart Productions, 4449 over the Siskyous.

Sp 4449 dec 1988

[@MogamiK32]

I think that's 844

[@JEC5632]

It was renumbered as "8444" between 1962 and 1989. This would have been one of the engine's last runs before being renumbered back to 844.

Why does her 3 chime whistle sounds diffrent?

[@silverstatehighiron]

Bonnie SFM If you're talking about 4449, the engine has had a few whistle changes over the years. I believe during the AFT tour, she wore an SP 6 chime whistle. In 1981 she received the 3 chime in this video. That 3 chime was then given to SP&S 700 in 1990 and 4449 received a Northern Pacific 3 chime. In 2010, she received a Southern Pacific Hancock 3 chime from a GS-2. Although she occasionally wore the Northern Pacific 3 chime between 2010 and 2012.

[@quizzyboi2320]

Oh ok

[@T128Productions]

Actually, during the AFT tour, the 4449 used an ATSF 6 chime. She didn’t get her SP 6 chime until 1981. That locomotive always had the same Hancock 3 chime whistle from the 1970s, but not her original 3 chime since it was stolen long before the AFT tour even began. And in the early 1990s, the 6 chime is stolen. Good thing the whistle was recovered afterwards, but when was it recovered? I don’t really know. Anyway, as of 2021, the whistle was temporarily used on ATSF 2926 while her original whistle was being repaired. The SP 6 chime is now in the hands of a private individual.

[@BejeTerrible]

And Siskou is supposed to be Siskyou, sorry

[@BejeTerrible]

Sorry, drama if is supposed to be dramatic. My apologies.
