Chasing the SP Daylight 4449 Again

Southern Pacific GS-4 #4449 hit the road again, to visit the Train Festival in Owosso, Michigan. I chased her between Spokane, Washington and Bonners Ferry, Idaho on Indepedence Day. My first YouTube video was of my chasing the 4449, and here I go again...

I plan to get some video of her on the return trip Octobe 19th, I won't be chasing but saw several places I would like to have in my video, do you have a favorite? I'm in Wilbur, so anywhere around Spokane through idaho is good for me.

I saw some nice spots to shoot in and around Sandpoint, ID. You probably won't have to deal with the Indepedence Day crowd and traffic jam like I did.

Nice shots. I was also between Spokane, and Bonners Ferry that day. Did you happen to see two guys in a black convertible with the top down? During your shot at Algoma, me and my friend were pacing 4449 on the highway trying to get ahead of it and the traffic!

I was busy catching up, and the 4449 showed up mere seconds after I got of the car, so I didn't notice you, unfortunately. Great to see that you participated in the chase, too!

4449 also had an amtrak angine

Great speed footage. Nothing comes close to the sound of a steamer.

That is a fog light they used in the early days in the foggy parts of the morning runs in California the head light was hard to seee and that one gave notice that a train was coming

Nice sharp, smooth video, I enjoyed the scenic locations and pacing the train east of Spokane.

Thanks for sharing it.
