With renewed interest in the 4449 after its trip east to Michigan in 2009, fans will surely enjoy this video that is new to dvd in 2009. First we start with 4449 traveling from Portland to Kennewick, Washington along the BN mainline through the Columbia River region with majestic scenery. 4449 hauled coaches to the host railroad from Portland. The Washington Central, a private operator in 1990, was the host for trips operating on former Northern Pacific Trackage. On Friday we watch 4449 on two roundtrips from Kennewick to Prosser, and watch it depart Kennewick at dusk to Yakima on a dinner train.
On Saturday we watch 4449 on two runs to Ellensburg through the scenic Yakima Canyon. On Sunday the 4449 makes an all-day trip from Yakima to Cle Elum, traveling through the scenic Yakima and Cle Elum canyons on this round-trip. In addition to 4449 action we also see former Great Western 2-8-0 number 51 on two trips during this weekend, as it was based in the area at this time. There is |
