Steam Train SP 4449 in North Dakota

[fudgebaker]

Why do they always have to put an ugly Amtrak train behind it, and doesn't the daylight have its original cars anymore, the colors just break up in the middle.

Look at her Go! how fast was that 60-70 miles an hour maybe more?

I just love that Girl, She's the pride of Portland!

Hey Skip

This is great stuff! You must of added some recently (the end where it's coming into Minot). Do you have video of it flying by my schoolhouse 35 miles east of Minot?

[SkipW]

i might have Tioga but the line thru there is a few miles north of highway 2 so it was a tough to keep up with it there, any idea what town had the horses tied up at at the hitchin post drinking establishment?

Gotta love North Dakota, the train and the horses at the bar! The train came by my place in Denbigh, chased it to Rugby where I watched it fly by the hundred year old station. Goosebumps! Man O man what a train. Great vidios!

Nice work on all these chase videos, Skip! What equipment do you use?  How do you mount everything so there's hardly any shake? Do you have a spotter while driving? :)

Horses tied up to a Hitching Post at a Bar & Chasing a Steam Train, now that is something you just dont see anymore! Some Real Retro Stuff

Thank you for all of your extra efforts to chase 4449 this summer!

[SkipW]

not a problem, glad I some made time for it...but still paying off the bills for it, but the memories will last me a life time & thanks to the SP 4449 crew for heading east in '09

[CoasterFan2105]

It isn't in this video, but if you listen to some of the newer ones, something defanently sounds wrong..

[CoasterFan2105]

Nice pacing shots, Skip. Is it just me or does the whistle appear to be getting "fouled"?

[1225dude]

whats fouled?

[CoasterFan2105]

The whistle.

[1225dude]

I know it has to do with the whistle. I'm wondering what one means when they say that a whistle has become "fouled"? sorry for the confusion.

Beautiful engine.  Great footage as always Skip.
