Hell yeah! Great shots and coverage of the event. The Seattle Sub and Equipment you see out there has changed greatly. I love seeing the old searchlights and unpatched fallen flag locomotives BNSF used to have, and obviously the steam excursion. I added this to my favorites list!
Thank you. I knew the search lights were on borrowed time as well as the roundhouse, so tried to make it a priority to some footage of them. 10:55 was actually the location of a spectacular head on collision between two trains in the 70's. A locomotive engineer I used to work with said both lead locomotives on the trains went straight up about 20 feet into the air. I will be digging out a lot more old footage this year with a lot of it in the Pacific Northwest.
I remember when my dad took me out to see this trip when I was a little kid. Those two can sure put one a show!
This is awesome! I'd like to see an SP&S 700-SP 4449-UP 844 Tripleheader. Those are my 3 favorite 4-8-4's. That would be so awesome!
yea great catches and video of this return trip of this doubleheader excursion with sp 4449 and up 844
