Portland's own 4449 steam train on the the run in Washington State. This video covers coming an going in June 2011 plus some older footage shoot back in 2007.
This is a reason why I love train, the clanking of metal against the wheels, the roaring whistle and the chuffing of steam racing past your face, such a wonderful feeling
The video was shot in different angles. My favorite part is where the senior citizens are waving at the train passing by. You can’t get enough of loving trains.
@@kishascape Why did you even come on here anyway, if you have nothing good to say about anyone? They appear to be quite happy and from their ages, it wouldn't be a surprise that they actually rode that train when it ran its schedule. So stop critiquing people because they found a bit of happiness. It doesn't look good on you.
We road the 4449 The Christmas Express last weekend of November 2019. My 7 year old loves trains more than anyone i know. I am positive he will be working on a railroad one day. His knowledge of trains is beyond his years. He is extremely heart broken the E2 tank engines were all scrapped, but thankfully they live on forever through Thomas the Tank Engine.
That's wonderful and sad too. I also rode the Holiday Express, twice, in 2021 and 2022 as of this comment, and visited the center countless times. It's wonderful to know there's more intrested railfans out there.
Not really. It was average. 1080p been out since 98 and there were already decent priced consumer cameras doing 1080p at that time. I still have my 3CCD HDD camera from that time, works too good still.
The Daylight Express is the Queen on Rails. She looks very pretty and the Old Lady is very,very fast. You hear her Whistling? She is Screaming how fast and pretty She is. Steam Locomotives have a Soul. Every Steampunch,Every Whistle Sound you see her Live.
Great video of two amazing Steam Engines! I've always wondered, though, why they SP didn't initially equip the 4449 with Roller Bearing trucks on the engine and tenders, or upgrade them at a later date, the UP 844, 3985 and 4014 are all set up on Roller Bearings, a lot more reliable, far less maintenance, less prone to overheating and just better overall.
@FaZe Gamer4Life if a crap load of water is used as a primary source of power to its pistons driving the drive wheels via Main rod/Connecting rod Side rods/Coupling rods , Valve gear/motion with use of various Pilot truck/Leading bogie Wheels and big driver wheels and its not driven by electrical energy from an powered generator (or external power) wheel trucks then its a real all the way steam engine lol.
4449: I wonder what blacklight is doing 844: Blacklight ? 4449: You do know some my sisters have different paint 844: Really ? 4449: One of them has White and Blue, and one has full black paint 844: Oh I see now
UP 844 Top Speed: 124mph. Mallard A4 Top Speed: 125.88mph Daylight Top Speed: 110 Hiawatha Steam Trains Top Speed: 112- 114mph N&j class j 611 Top Speed: 110mph Prr T1s Top Speed: 120mph PRR S1 rumors say the S1 went 133mph NYC 999 Top Speed:112mph (Not 5550)
4449: I'm the most beautiful steam locomotive in the world! 844: 4449, shut it! UP is better! 4449: egh! Wrong answer! 844: no, right answer 4449: SOUTHERN PACIFIC IS BETTER!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 844: NNNNNNOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
4449's boiler actually runs on diesel fuel because the next coal mines were too far away . It was cheaper to use diesel than to get coal from 1000 miles away. Burning diesel fuel is the reason 4449 doesn't belch dark smoke.
I took it of Smart Sound audio service that I use and I think this is one I used Sandy Boys Composer Ben Winship that may help you or not I always like to have no issues with rights so I use Smart Sound a lot.
Modern coaches can require up to 3 phase 480 volts AC @ 60 Hz to be operational fully.. NO steam locomotive has the provisions for that. Steam locomotives have generators or dynamo's to supply power for train lighting which is considered low voltage (90 volts AC or DC depending on the locomotive).. In the time where steam and diesels were being used (transition period) railroads build HEP (Generators) cars that provided the required power for the new era of coaches.
