[Portland, OR] On June 28th, 2003, Southern Pacific 4449 (4-8-4), sporting its patriotic American Freedom Train paint scheme, pulls a days worth of passenger trains on the Oregon Pacific Railroad for the grand opening of Portland's Springwater Trail.
thanks for the reply and yes, it's quite a beautiful paint scheme...btw, there's an excellant book out called "Daylight Reflections" by Nils Huxtable. In the book, actually it's more of a pictorial, he shows the history of the fame passenger train and has pictures of the 4449 in it's AFT paint scheme

The AFT paint scheme was put on 4449 in 2002 in honor of the 9/11 victims. They kept it on until 2004. Its a beautiful paint scheme.
