Well done. Thanks for posting.

This whistle definitely fits her the most

[@wafflesnfalafel1]

the audio in particular is wonderful - the whistle action alone is spectacular. I chased 4449 over Stevens pass in the 80's, amazing she is still around and is still so impressive...

[@TrainsNStuff]

Wow! Even you got it! I wish I'd seen it.

[@TrainsNStuff]

but cool shots!

When it comes to trains Steams are my favourite *especially UP 844*, however I also like 4449 to. Although I am curious if it still runs on its tracks today? It was definitely smart of them to replace the fueling for burning oil rather then coal. However I hope as the years pass by, we still get to see steam trains but with different fuelling to them. Seeing these bad boys run on the railroads sure do put a sunny day on my rainy parade. I’ll also be very glad to be working on the railroads someday. However I sadly don’t think I would be running steam trains. Maybe someday I will run that 844.

Yes, it’s still in operationg condotion. The issue is that mainline operations are limited, specifically Amtrak’s. Same thing with Union Pacific due to the fact that they want only their engines from their Heritage Fleet, and their own road, yard, and MoW/Geometry trains to run on their mainline. However, 4449 is often times pulled out in late November and early December for the Holiday Express train ride on Oregon Pacific’s East Portland Division.

I think they should restore her sister and call her the moonlight

[@brianrigsby7900]

1:50 what’re the cylinders above the drivers?

[@brianrigsby7900]

And how come she takes an Amtrak with her? Kinda kills the beauty a little

Three years late, but those are cross compound air compressors.

4449 is 100% true on the world

[@atsfevan0242]

Anyone ever wonder where 4449's bell is located?

[@southernpacificproductions530]

it's located under the smoke box, you can see it at 2:48 mark

[@railfanjackson4531]

Yeah, as he said. It’s located behind the pilot and underneath the smokebox door.
