thank the lord she didnt derail last time i heard those sounds was when UP#3985 derailed in Laramie got video of the mantis crane hoisting the Tender 3' off the rails
Well, taste is in the eye of the beholder. I've always thought the artists did an amazing job that complemented the 4449 perfectly. Hope they do a season with that paint scheme again soon.
Okay. I'll be specific. And I am a marketing strategist with 20 years of design and creative leadership experience... 1) The scheme mimics and subtly enhances the streamlined flow of the locomotive's own unique design. 2) The color treatment is balanced, establishing the patriotic identity but allowing the shape and textures of the locomotive to remain dominant. 3) The design straddles deco with modernism, emphasizing the value of the powerful steam engine in the most modern environment. And on.
the rails arent creaking the 4449 (freedom train) is shes not lubricated and shes moving so slow at the time shes creaking

When the rails are creaking from not being used, that is a bad sign

Those rails are layed down just for the state fair...The street is close and the tracks are in short sections already nailed to the ties.

Although there were three freedom trains running around,the Southern Pacific is the most popular one.
