  • hey i think i remember you having footage of the 4449 when it was painted black and ran between portland and wishram and back? do you still have it and could you please post it up?

  • I did take footage in 2001 when it was painted black. I'll do my best to get it uploaded in a timely manner.

  • One thing I liked about 4449's AFT paint is the white trend around her wheels.

    I wish they kept those when they painted her back to Daylight colors.

  • Live the AFT colors! I miss 4449 in them.

  • man if my generation were to have an american freedom train today, someone would surely make a political correctness case out of it and claim it was offensive to those who aren't american.

    We really need to do another american freedom train again.

  • @xxxDeath9572xxx i agree. it looks awesome like this but they should paint a flag ong the tender somewhere next time the do the American Freedom Train.

  • when was this filmed?

  • 1:05 gave me cold chills :)

  • Why is it when I see these old steamers, I always think of "Field Of Dreams"; "Build it and they will come...."

  • hey... it still use in America...?

    if yes... where i can find it....?

    i'm very glad if you show it to me.....

  • Truthfully, the AFT paint is nice, but it lacks design. They couldn't paint an american flag or something on it?

  • Isn't the Steam Engine chugging sound like music to ears !!! I love steam engines and the rattling & cranking sound are like rock music ;-) 

  • That is such a sweet engine.

  • That's American right there.
