Catch me if you can!

After departing an hour behind schedule from Milwaukee WI, Southern Pacific GS4 4-8-4 4449 makes a very fast run back to Minneapolis MN, arriving a good hour ahead of schedule.

  • Great Video!! My friends and I must have been standing right next to you in Minnesota City because we all got that same shot!! I love all of your shots and to think the 4449 was just out here in 09 still blows me away! I had a great time chasing and working on here when she was here in town!

  • @Conductor261 Yeah, I was closest to the tracks and there were probably 2-3 guys next to me. Hard to believe it was already 2 years ago. I hope 261 is running again in 2012.

  • Is this the run to the Fr of 261? Or a run FOR them? Cause it's all MILW, sans the MKT, and I KNOW she left with more than that when we setn her out of Michigan

  • @Trackagerights This was a ferry move (w/ tickets sold) to return the 4449 and Friends of the 261 coaches to Minneapolis after Train Festival in Owosso, MI. This consist traveled from Chicago to Minneapolis. I believe the other coaches were dropped off in Chicago.

  • how fast was 4449 bookin it???

  • Around 65mph most of the time

see all
