Hello PAS Members:

For those that remember, and for those that don't but would like to see a REAL LIVE STEAM LOCOMOTIVE IN MAINLINE ACTION checkout the Website;

www.261.com

This site will provide you with the dates, and allow you to purchase tickets to ride behind what many people feel is one of the BEST LOOKING PASSENGER TRAIN STEAM LOCOMOTIVES EVER BUILT. It is the Ex-Southern Pacific #4449. It is a Semi-Streamlined Locomotive and is painted Silver, Black, and mostly Red, and Orange. In 1975-76 this locomotive, then painted in a Red, White, and Blue scheme pulled the Freedom Train part of the way across the USA. This locomotive is coming this way under its owen power from Portland, OR with a destination of Durand, MI where there is an event called TRAINFEST2009 that will also feature two other BIG STEAM LOCOMOTIVES, one of them is the ex-Pere Marquette RR #1225. This locomotive is the one used as the pattern for the movie Polar Express. I also understand that there will be a 2010 Calendar published that will feature photos of the 4449 taken along the route to and from Durand, MI. Perhaps some of you might want to find out what tracks the 4449 will run on, and attempt to get a shot for the calendar. IF SO THEN BEST WISHES AND GREAT SHOOTING!
