I was extremely fortunate to be able to go in the cedar rapids and skytop lounge cars. They are both incredible inside and out.

Yeah, when I first heard about 4449 carrying a train with the Skytop car, I thought I'd take a ride in it... then the sad moment of truth came and I saw the ticket prices... XD

I was on the Thursday escursion. I was in the Arizona car. You can see my friend's brother in the blue shirt.

Great video Owen! I hope I get to see 4449 sometime in my lifetime! Truly a great steam locomotive with a great whistle!

Don't worry, Aaron, I'll tell you if 4449 is on a nearby excursion ever again, a LOT earlier next time!
