@TheMadNorsky When a steam locomotive is "drifting" downhill or just backing off to slow down you won't see much smoke. Also a good fireman with quality fuel can minimize the smoke even when working her. Usually when you see a diesel on a train like this it's there for the dynamic braking to save on brake shoes on the cars and locomotive. Plus the Amtrak units have the 480 volt generation capacity for all the cars to operate on since they have been converted to all electric vs. steam.

good video it would be neat if I got to actually see this Locomotive

it's frustrating when the well to do Americans (which would be anyone not on the streets) watch this, feel bad, then go on their way happy because they know they got a heart...If everyone that watched this and felt did something, even something small it'd be a big deal!
Also Robert seems awesome! It's sad that I can walk by people like him in my own town and not give a second thought to the fact that he's a human being like me..

We chased him into spokane west bound, he ended up stoping because the amtrack engine lost an air hose and we got to walk up to it, i have some good video.

JUNK?!?!??!?!?!??!?!?!? These are some of the finest cars in the Country!!! They might not match the engine but no Amtrak certified cars do, as of late. Come on, at least she had cars to pull!

No he stayed home that day. He went out the next day to watch it leave.

Thanks for any advise

Good video. Makes me wonder if SP 4449 is actually doing any pulling, or just acting as a figure head on the front of the train while the Amtrak engine supplies most of the power. Compared to video of the Union Pacific 3985, this engine is not working hard. That is also why it appears to burn so clean-its not working, just rolling along.

I tend to agree now. I watched more videos since my prior comment, and old 4449 sure seems to be doing some good pulling. Just my luck; years of wanting to see something like this, and I moved out of Minot ND area a year ago. It would have been great to have seen this in person-thanks for your videos-a real good job!
