4449 and 700 steam side-by-side

[fallingup7]

Drag race! Great video by the way.

[WatchdogDisciple]

Ah ya know ive always said that there were only 3 whistles worth anything and 4449 and 700 are 2/3 of that list. Beautiful machines.

[TurbinePower69]

@WatchdogDisciple and the other "3rd" belongs to the 3985 !! :)

[WatchdogDisciple]

@TurbinePower69 actually you would be correct.

[WoelkerVideo]

Great video!!!!

[dragonpullman]

...and someday OR&N 197 will join them...

[Rabelone]

Boy you can tell the 4449 has much highter steam PSI

[trainmanjg611]

How come SP&S 700 goes in the springwater trail in oregon instead of pulling lond distance journeys to Washington or Montanna?

[bret354]

awsome video man! we have a train museum where i live in PA but they built it up in Scranton so few people goto it. the politians built it up there with our tax dollars. don't get me wrong I love old trains but build a museum where most people in the state don't have to drive hundreds of miles to see it.

You can see the actual shot Cyrus took in the Holiday Express dvd. It looks really spectacular.

[ejovadi]

Nice steam, beautiful .

[ThomasRivette]

Was that Cyrus Lum standing inbetween the tracks at 0:35?

[asskahn]

Holy buckets!! Look at that steam!

[wippydobo321]

cool it will be even better when they restore or&n 197

[gaycowboy31]

I definatlly agree with you there

[mortdk]

Looks like the weather is cold due to the large amounts of steam. Looks really cool, though ... :-)

[TL250Rider]

Wasn't this from 1989?

Good Job

Thank you

[F40PHR231]

This took place in 2005.

[shafferfox]

Phenominal site to see! Great video! Thanks so much! Historical!

[DanielVolker]

These are the the best pieces of history in Oregon and they deserve a permanent home where they can be safe from the elements and vandals.

[pieman97405]

A rare site for both to be under steam at the same time. Thanks for posting this, and lets donate some cash to the ORHF for the new home for these loco's before UP kicks them out.

[upsguy03]

That is so awesome!! Great video!

[tigermask619]

Love both of them. My grandpa worked on the 700 back in the good old days.

[savatheaggie]

I love that lens flare flash at the end when the sun reflects off the 4449... it's almost as if the old girl's winking as she moseys on by.

[tonimtions]

destroys the ozon layer.

[NightmareKato]

That is false. The ozone layer is weakened by: carbon dioxide. And these engines are emitting primarily evaporated water. EVAPORATED WATER, you moron!

[tonimtions]

do the research you retard. It's emissions.

[F40PHR231]

The tiny fraction of this so called "emissions" of steam is actually cleaner than the billowing inefficient coal power plants that power your televisions and lights in the house.

If you knew how much energy, pollution and waste was made for making those plastic lego-men like you have in your videos, you wouldn't be worried about a lone steam locomotive that operates maybe once or twice a year. :)

[jpmoney384]

NightmareKato Is right. The SP4449 and the SP&S 700 have a very minor carbon foot print and they are far more efficient than most cars when it comes to emissions vs. towing capacity. They burn vaporized oil thats released with steam. the worst pollution they do is make particulates that make rain. BTW, your drunk cat thing sounds like animal abuse.

[ghostshot1004]

engineers on 700 are gonna choke on steam from daylight lol

[Superedit]

OUTSTANDING!!

[EvilFartHead69]

Coolest video on Youtube!!! :D 5 stars

[scoRocs]

[BRIANamtrak]

[ThomasnBear1D3]

[Hyce777]
