Great stuff here! One of the best things about the SP 4449 Holiday Express runs is being able to chase it on your bike!

[patmansf]

nice ...

Did you video from a moving bike in that one segment? How'd you keep the camera so steady!?

[Railfan77]

Yes, I was one my bike from that one segment and I had my camera on a strap and I actually had one hand on the handle bars and one hand on the camera.

Nice coverage of The Daylight, Chase! I'm glad someone is doing something. Just think we don't even have any operating stream locomotives here the South East! NW #611 and a few others come to mind!

[nicholasbreeden]

I wish we had more down here in the southeast! I live in Tennessee and the only one around here is the TVRR

Awesome job chase...i love that whistle

[CoastStarlight11]

Very hard core!

So dude, when you were following the train doing a paceing shot at 1:21 was that like on a bike path or something? What was up with the thing going backwards, did it go backwards one way and then forewards the other? By me the V&T steam train starts off by going backwards for miles and miles then it heads forewards again.

[Railfan77]

Yeah, this is the Springwater Corridor Trail in Portland & Portland is a city which a lot of drivers are bicylists and tons of Bike Lanes all around. It did go backwards and forewards, and doesn't pass at any road crossings.

[CoastStarlight11]

ok. cool

[DJGENEX71]

Oh yea! This is SWEEEEEET!!!! 5***** and Favorte!

[CoastStarlight11]

I saw this the other day. Very hard core! Reminds me of the V&T the way they ran the thing.

[RailfanAlex]

Pretty Sweet! Who organizes this?

[Railfan77]

The Oregon Rail Heritage Foundation & The Friends of SP #4449 who have been doing a fund raiser to built a permanant home for that & 2 other locomotives.

[RailfanAlex]

Very nice. Thanks for the info!

[SF3751]

Awsome.

[pahogger]

I want that under my Christmas tree,LOL. Good vid!

[Railfan77]

Hahahahaha!! Such an old thing needs your help by some sort, but I know they are looking for a lot near OMSI in Portland that I think the organization that operates this Locomotive says they are likey to purchase it, but yeah, that be good.

[DanielVolker]

We are very close to buying the land. That's step one, step 2 is building a home for the engines.

[Railfan77]

That is good because you know, UP is expanding Brooklyn Yard & they need those 3 steam engines in a better & permanant location, so yeah, i'm glad you are almost there in buying that land across from OMSI and we hope for the best.
