2008-12-14 4449 at 12th Street Crossing - Portland OR

After a day at Oaks Park on the Oregon Pacific Railroad, the SP 4449 returns to the Brooklyn Roundhouse on the UP main. The engine and Holiday Express train is seen here crossing 12th and Clinon Streets in Portland Oregon after two weekends on the OPRR operating a fund raiser event for the Oregon Rail Heritage Foundation (ORHF).

Sorry for the noisy natural gas meter noise in the background, it was really cold this day and a business across the street was using a lot of NG this day.

Video also includes one of the "brain trusts" of Portland...who really doesnt care for their safety.

Ron Paul will get rid of all those pesky signals. You should have the liberty to stop yourself when the train is coming.

Ya all she has to do is slip on the ice there and she's a new speed bump.

Great video, man. I really wanted to get out and catch her and the 700 but never got around to due to the weather. Thanks for sharing!

I chase a lot of steam trains with my dad but we never film them because we like to just enjoy it. Most of the time we are riding the train anyway.
