I met Doyle in the 80's while chasing the 4449 in South TX. Doyle is a good guy and really loves this locomotive. It's truly his locomotive. He has to be in his eighties by now.
The BNSF did an employee appreciation trip back in the early 2000-2003 period. I was Supt Operation on the Washington Division and road the cab from Wenatchee to Spokane. Fascinating trip and Doyle was very gracious and informative.
AllertorSiren05 Because the air horn doesn’t have the same musical sound as the steam whistle, and just generally sounds like crap, as fog horns tend to.

This would have been an awesome experience, a lot of history with the 4449 and Doyle.

Awesome show, I've never seen a steam locomotive running, would love to see that sometime, would really like to meet Doyle
Met him in 2018. Cool guy. I knew so much about it he let me into the cab when she was stationed. Never was around for the Holiday express. Lucky you!

Ain’t that the truth!
700 was in the Heritage rail centre building
“If I wanted to listen to a fricking airhorn, I’d get on a diesel and run it”…….meh, who can argue with that?
The Retired UP Engineer Doyle McCormack.
Jack Salvin Yes, the very same. He’s a highly respectable man

@@JOEMAMA_534 Doyle never worked for the N&W.
Very Nice 😂
I had a cab ride on 4449 on December 16th, 2018. See the two videos of it on my channel (one with music, one without).
Why exactly doesn't he like the air horn?

theres a big difference between the sound of a horn and a whistle! lol!
