I'm glad I found this. I had this on VHS when I was really really young in the 90s and I watched it on repeat. I'm actually really surprised I found it
This was shown on PBS in 1991.
I owned this tape as a kid. Loved watching it over and over. Saw the 4449 in Sacramento for Railfan 99, and saw it at it's home at the Oregon Rail Heritage Center in 2018. So beautiful to see in person.
I really enjoyed the music in this video also
At 28:58, the train is heading directly for where the engine house would be many years later where 4449, 700 and other locos and cars are today, as it’s just at the end of this straightaway
I have looked a long time for this. I used to watch it all the time as a kid. I always loved the soundtrack and the cinematography. on a side note I just noticed 1:40:39 no thanks to the highway patrol.
I am really enjoying this video and it is a great video and thank you for sharing it.
MY grandfather was a railroader, my father was a railroader, but I’m an Accountant! Boy, I guess I screwed up big time!😂
I wore out 5 of these VHS tapes of Daylight Express when I was a kid, I even talked with Jim Mitchell of Sky Fire years ago when they were around, I thanked him alot for his documentaries of Southern Pacific, he sent me a copy of Montana Daylight with his autograph on it
Is he still alive?
10:01 XD that’s funny
Southern pacific Coast daylight
Almost 32 years ago.
@ 56:30 The narrator says " in this age of lasers, computers, and high tech wizardry " Goddamn I want to go back to that innocent of a time. Most the people, especially the passengers in this video have long since been dead. Its fuckin sad what this world has "evolved " to since then
Yeah I tend to agree
In a few years people will read your comment and say that guy that wrote that died 🤔
@@OKFrax-ys2op @O.K. Frax One can only hope I'll be dead in a few years.
I'm 35, unfortunately I probably have a long way to go.
In the next few years people will look at your comment and think goddamn what a dumbass for not understanding the context of what I was saying.
This engine is so incredibly beautiful and well produced documentary!
But, for odd reason I still favor Southern's 4501, and idk why
You’re forgiven
2:🫐21 🇸🇭😒😃😃😃
My dad used to take me up to the cajon pass to witch the Big Boys engine pulling mile long trains over the summit.!!!!!!!!
I saw 4449 once when it was visiting Owosso, Michigan in July 2009!
19:37: TTTE characters when they blow their whistles.
Iv all ways said this was the Lady of steam an 611 was the sister... imagine what you would get if bigboy an the day light where to get put in the same round house together and lift alone what we'd get in the end 😆😆
17:40
Sounds like Jack sang this song lol
“If it was bigger, if it was better it had to be made in America”
Where did we go wrong? How did we fall so far?!
There’s always one or two clowns that have to get on the tracks in front of a train doing 70 MPH to get that one picture.
The narrator sounds like Richard Dreyfuss 🤔He talks how he did in 'Stand By Me' That quote from 22:16 sounds like it would fit PERFECTLY in that movie.
Dude he could be, you saying that makes me think he is.
I'm not saying that Dreyfuss actually narrated it, the guy just sounds very similar, and has very similar line delivery. I highly doubt that they could afford Hollywood actor like him.@@nathanlove7388
19:37
Is this REALLY how bad VHS was? I mean, the TVs were small....
The steam engine was meant to be on the rails not in a scrip yard those diesels are polluters not the steam engine.
What tune is that @ 31:28 & 1:40:21?
April and May 1991
4449😮1991
If anybody knows whats the name of this song 1:40:42
