Southern Pacific 4449 Restoration Part 1

[@ottomatic6432]

This is something that is worth tearing up to. The photographs, the music, everything. It's beautiful.

[@SouthernPacific-bu3kv]

Oh guy of the Amethyst, you edit the video of the anniversary of Union Pacific X series.

Saw her way back in 1984 or so in Arizona and she's still running today in 2021 - Amazing...

[@dieselteen0770]

Thank heavens 4449 was restored all by one man, a hero,

[@Cessna-er4je]

Can't lie, I kinda like the GS-4's in black without the streamlined shrouding

[@bov634]

A crack in crown sheet wouldn't end the locomotives carrer. Firebox sheets are consumable and where routinely replaced throughout any steam engines service life. Gotta build the drama toward a climax lol. I've heard enough from this video.

[@jacksalvin364]

In 1974, 4449 was selected to pulled the American Freedom Train Bicentennial Celebration of our country, 200th Anniversary.

[@CPR2839]

Jack Salvin yup and 2101 was picked when they realized 4449 was gonna be too big for opening day

[@jacksalvin364]

Of course. During 1975-1976.

[@stuartadamsrailfanningvideos]

The future Willamette Shore Trolley car 813 is also seen in this video!

Inside 4449 is scary

[@railroadvelocipedeproducti2020]

Do you know what the Music is called in this?

[@dalecomer5951]

It's a locomotive. The "engine" is the running gear of a steam locomotive. My recollection is that after its last revenue run in 1955 pulling the Coast Daylight it was stored in L.A. until 1958 whe it was stupidly sent to the City of Portland. Never could understand that. They demonstrated what a mistake that turned out to be.

[@joshteshek1155]

What documentary did this come from

[@JOEMAMA_534]

Does any ok now where she was displayed prior to AFT?

[@atsfevan0242]

Anyone know the music playing in the video?

[@JCBro-yg8vd]

We can all thank Jack Doyle for keeping 4449's running gear in good condition until his death in 1972. Had he not done so, 4449 likely wouldn't have been eligable for the Freedom Train.

[@bradytheking4009]

Because today the tender says southern pacific lines

[@olayinkafadipe2565]

1776 AND 4449??

[@Yitao_Su]

Did she use to burn coal?

[@CPR2839]

No she always burned oil.

[@Yitao_Su]

@@CPR2839 she likes 844

[@atsfevan0242]

No, 844 was a coal burner the first year of its life before being converted to oil in 1945
