This incredible 4-8-4 Northern locomotive also pulls the annual Holiday Express train along this same route every holiday season. It is a terrific trip for the whole family. You and the family can join Santa Claus and his elves for a magical ride behind Portland’s famous steam locomotives. Vintage rail cars transport you along the Willamette River in the heart of the city of Portland.
Built in 1941 as a 4-8-4 GS-4 locomotive, SP 4449 is the only remaining operable “streamlined” steam locomotive of the Art Deco era. This grand Lady of the High Iron pulled Southern Pacific “Daylight” coaches from Los Angeles to San Francisco over the scenic Coast Route and then on to Portland until 1955.
Retired to Oaks Park in 1958 for display only, many thought 4449 would never run again. In 1974 she was completely restored specifically to pull the 1976 Bicentennial American Freedom Train throughout the United States to the delight of over 30 million people. SP 4449 has also operated numerous excursions since. She is arguably one of the most beautiful locomotives ever built and kept that way by the all-volunteer Friends of SP 4449. - Авто та транспорт
Love the white wheel outlinings
Me too I wish she always wear those wheels until today
The locomotive should wear them forever
@@anthonynigri8585 I really agree with you 😁
You know for some reason I think it should be done with UP Big Boy 4014 too
@@anthonynigri8585'' for sure'' up big boy must have it too because up 844 wear a white wheels in the latest excursion I guess. Even the cheyenne frontier days up 844 still wear those white outlinings
Video Rails really stood out from other train video producers. That’s what I love about them. Too bad Pentrex bought them, and this hasn’t been rereleased since then.
I know. This was actually the first Rail tape I converted to computer.
@@THOMASINTHE1980S That’s so cool
Can all steam locos bow down to this magnificent beauty queen
No, because the Flying Scotsman is the world's most famous locomotive in the world and if anything, she is the Queen of all steam locomotives. :)
@@jordanorriss6889 No
@@lgp1905 Yes, otherwise you truly do not know steam locomotives and their history. You need to learn some more.
@@jordanorriss6889 This is a 4449 video aswell
@@lgp1905 Still doesn't matter, Flying Scotsman if anything is the Queen of all steam locomotives.
After successful running the Freedom Train in '76, 4449 was last repainted to her original Daylight Colors in 1981 pulling a excursion train to the Grand Opening of California State Railroad Museum in Sacramento, California. 🚂🚃🚃🚃🚃🚃🚃🚃🚃🚃🚃🚃🚃🚃🚃🚃🚃🚃🚃🚃🚃🚃🚃🚃

For quite some time, I've been trying to identify the name of the music that plays at 25:40! Unfortunately there are no soundtrack acknowledgments in the limited credits. I remember from childhood the piece of music in question was used in various radio and TV advertising commercials of the day.
It’s called “high combustion” by Craig Palmer. It appeared in a lot of NFL videos.

The crew refers to 4449 as “she”
@@JOEMAMA_534 Yes
Well this is the first seeing daylight with white lines and black wheels and they made it black in 1986
No it was black when retired and on display in Portland. Then it went BNSF black in 2002. If you’re thinking of it’s appearance in “come see the paradise”, it’s dirty.
How would you explain the wheel lines are white
@@homeofart8172 A holdover from the AFT livery. One could possibly consider them prototypical, considering the GS-4's had them on all their wheels when their builders photos were taken. Scroll down to the GS-4 part of the page I'm linking to see it:

Did 4449 ever have red driving wheels? I remember seeing some footage of it with a reddish orange tint on them, maybe it was dust from the desert though.
