I got an early start an spent the morning in The Dalles, knowing that 4449 wasn't supposed to depart Spokane until 8am, and I got to Wishram a bit before noon. I knew I'd have a wait so I brought a book to read in the car.

Hey, no problem. As long as your not standing 6 feet ahead of my camera and blocking 3/4 of the frame, I've come to grips with people in the shot. Out that far, you're just part of the scenery as far as I'm concerned. Besides, you did have the presence of mind to duck behind that electrical box (or whatever it was)!
No worries. Thanks for watching!

Nice video. I spotted myself in Wishram. At 1:56 I am standing next to the pole the BNSF diesel are passing, and at 5:12 I am standing between the same pole and the tracks as 4449 arrives (I thought it would pull up further before stopping.) I also must have been standing right next to you at the grade crossing when 4449 pulls into at Union Station at 9:48.

You must have been waiting there about as long as we did. We left when their Twitter feed said they were in Pasco - little did we know that it would take 3 hours for them to arrive in Wishram! It made for in interesting afternoon of train watching, but that wait has always killed me...
