Great American Steam Locomotives: Articulateds DVD
Articulateds capture the heart and minds of anyone who comes out to see them.
Your comment that Doyle McCormick will be retiring is probably true, but I’ll bet he still get’s behind the throttle during the Christmas trips that 4449 makes up & down the Willamette river & thru Oaks Park. I’ll bet he will always have a soft spot for the engine that has occupied so much of his life. The mighty 4449!
Looks like Jim had a great time out in Oregon. I hope he took some video to show more of the skookum. If not then maybe when she gets to her new home in California. I was surprised you guys didn’t know about the derailment UP had on their line between between Spokane and Walula gap. Inside a tunnel out in the scablands of eastern Wa. Don’t feel bad, I live in Spokane and even I didn’t know there was a tunnel out there. I’m sure that at some point & time UP will “daylight” this tunnel and make sure their track is fully up to mainline standards to keep any more derailments from occurring out there.
