SP Daylight 4449 - Niles, MI

[Garycubfan]

I live a short distance form Niles, MI and I cannot believe that there wasn't any mention on the radio, television, or newspaper that the Daylight was coming through the area.

are u going to Film it tommarow?, i will be ridding it. be on the look out for a red head waving LOL

Probably going to try and catch it at this same crossing again, or on the bridge just east. I'll keep an eye out!

[locohog]

thats my dad on the radio, he was running it here, not joking either, nice video

It's not as great as the 611, but at least it's still moving and not in a museum shut down somewhere.

[CoasterTroy80]

A lot of people would agree with that. This has always been my favorite steamer but the 611 is a close second, and I'd love to see it running

Before 1218's recent restoration for Norfolk Virginia Days... 611 would've by far been the selection for restoration of steam if NS was too.. But, the tables have turned, and its now 1218 that would go for it..

[DanielVolker]

I bet there are a bunch!

nice! i was at this same crossing, it's actually just WEST of Niles. I was at this crossing (Portage Road) just a little bit more to the south, shooting across the marshy lake.(silver nissan)

[CoasterTroy80]

Thanks for the correction. Yeah, we were wondering where you disappeared to. Bet it was a nice shot across the marsh. Thanks for the comment

Nice! Glad you were able to catch it.
