SP 4449 to National Train Day 2010

On May 7th, SP 4449 made a tender-first reverse move from Brooklyn Yard to Portland Union Station to be on display for National Train Day 2010. I set up at SE 8th and filmed some Amtrak movements before the steamer rolled by. The engine then stopped at the OPR junction to pick up a caboose and a switcher, which enabled me to get my second shot at crossing alley. The sound of the whistle through all those crossings was incredible. Enjoy!

In the first shot I'm the guy on the left standing in the rear door of the coach (the gray shirt).

You got me in two shots actually. The second one is obvious, the first one not so much. I was up on that Ped. Bridge for 14 and 4449.

That was a place I wanted to get a video from
