  • This is a video I put together last year and had just been sitting on for awhile, and decided that it would be best if it got seen!
    This is a series of films shot by several railfans documenting the SP 4449's return to service for the American Freedom Train, and its first trip in Daylight colors. See the 4449 at many of SP's well known locations such as Donner Pass, The Coast Line, The Shasta Route, The Peninsula, The Cal-P, The West Valley Line, and Tehachapi. These sequences were shot on 8mm and Super 8mm by 5 different railfans. The sounds are all of the real 4449 with most being recorded between 1975 and 1981.
    Enjoy this look back at the return to service of one of the west's most beloved steam locomotives!

    Lol, you found some groovy tunes from the 70’s, good choice. I’m somewhere in the far right frame of the image at the 7:32 mark, I was 10 years old and lived in Dunsmuir next to the tracks but about 1/2 mile up so I peddled my bike as fast as possible to see the steam engine after I heard the whistle. I got to the yard and just stared at it, a crewman motioned me over and took me onto the train and the displays, just amazing. I still remember it was a nice sunny day which in December the sun doesn’t always come out, in winter of 74 we got hit with a blizzard that dumped over 3’ of snow overnight, everything shut down, it was unreal. But I made some extra money crawling under trucks setting snow chains.
