[Bus7777]

[288jh]

i have never seen her in RL... :'( i soooooooo wanna see her!!!!!

[tomAfisher]

Nice videos! I believe i met you and your friend whose name escapes me on the Holgate overpass just before this.

[ervans]

@tomAfisher Thanks, yes that was me. good to hear from you. I had just met him and sadly I don't remember his name.

[tomAfisher]

@ervans I caught them at 3 places on their way back to Brooklyn on my bicycle, no easy feat. Maybe I'll see you trackside when the 844 is out here in a few weeks.

[Wildhorse821]

I want to know when southern pacific runs #4449 and how do you know they would be running?

[CoasterFan2105]

It's sad to hear how fouled 4449's whistle has become. Still great video. thumbs up

[CoasterFan2105]

@DanielVolker You honestly can't tell how it sounds any different from the way it used to sound? It's aweful now.

[CoasterFan2105]

@DanielVolker Looks like it might be loose or has a crack in it, I looked at another video of it and it looks like there is also steam shooting out near the base of the whistle.

[ervans]

@CoasterFan2105 in my newest video you can really tell the difference in the whistle

[ervans]

@DanielVolker Listen to the whistle in my newest video and you will hear the difference

[pwalpar]

Good video, wonder where they store that locomotive

[ervans]

It's at the Brooklyn Roundhouse for over 25 years. By

2012, the steel beasts should be on display in a new roundhouse near the Oregon

Museum of Science and Industry. Eventually, an interpretive center will be built there,

too.

[NWPowhatanArrow611]

@ervans Any progress on the new roundhouse?

[ATerraDor09]

Were once the most powerful machines.

My compliments to all who worked with railway companies.

******************************­******************************­***************

Antaño fueron las máquinas mas poderosas.

Mis respetos a todos los que trabajaron junto a las empresas ferroviarias.

I am just delighted to see her still under steam today! She looks all shiny and well tended. Good job Doyle McCormack!

[ervans]

Yes, she looked great

[deloreanman14]

@doronlassil Thanks! I'm a volunteer with the Friends and spent much of the day on Thursday getting her ready. In fact, you can see me hanging out of the rail car as the train pulls in.

[crazeejay2006]

very cool!!

[warszawianka]

Interesting consist. I guess this was right by Portland Union Station, yes?

[ervans]

Yes it was

[boberttrain831]

Is it me, or does 4449's whistle sound sicker than usual?

[Miketherailfan]

@boberttrain831 It does...

[ervans]

Maybe

[SSCexpert]

Where was this recorded?

[123greatbritain]

CHECK OUT MY CHANNEL TO PLEASE GUYZ thank you

[ervans]

Thank you

[joelalcantar69]

fantastic machine :)

[1998ChevroletS10]

sweet catch bud

[ervans]

Thanks

[stotlex]

Its cool to see old trains like this still in use

[KingofTomedy]

No offense, but the Daylight is NOT known as the "World's Most Famous Steam Locomotive". The Flying Scotsman is and always will be.

However, I guess you can say it's "America's Most Famous Steam Locomotive".

[paraawesome]

@KingofTomedy yeah, but i asked 6 or 7 people in my train club what the flying scotsman was and they had no idea. If i haddnt watched Thomas the tank engine when i was little i wouldnt have known ether. lol. There equil i would say

[ervans]

Maybe so, but It's the most viewed Steam Locomotive in the world

[Jonern67]

Great video, and happy national train day! In Norway 8th of May is a celebration day beacuse this was the day the Germans ended the war in 1945. Very well filmed, thumbs up!

[ervans]

Thanks

[moonwalker5058]

Where will it be in display?

[ervans]

In it's new home next year

[moonwalker5058]

@ervans Portland, OR?

[fuckme24one]

Haha here we go again with crap saying "The World's Most Famous" something or other that only exists in the US.

There is more to the world than just your backyard or my backyard so stop claiming "The World's Most Famous" when it isn't.

Its like saying world series blah blah game when its only played in the US !!

[ervans]

It's the most viewed Steam Locomotive in the world

[marodude752002]

Sweet. 5 stars

[ervans]

Thank you

[LocalRailfan]

Happy National Train day, great video!
