Thanks very much John. It was certainly one of my favorite chase days that ended with shots of the #4449 entering Bakersfield.

This is a classic shot. Nothing beets the 4449 along the coast.

Hi Gary! Right you are. Nothing beats the #4449 along the coast and that includes any steam UP might ever run there. This is a classic shot. Nothing beets the 4449 along the coast. |

Ya know Herb, it would be nice to see the 4449 travel around the system. I just don't think UP will do that.

Unless there are policy changes at the top, no predecessor steam locomotives will run over UP's lines. We should all be thankful to the BNSF for allowing the #4449 to travel over its rails.

A loud and hardy THANK YOU to BNSF for allowing the 4449 to travel on their tracks to trainfest.
