That's great! Wish I could be there. By the way, have 4449 and 700 ever double headed? Joshua joshua@joshuakblay.com |

I think the only time the two have doubleheaded under steam was returning from the 1996 Portland Union Station 100th Birthday Railfair. This was a "deadhead" move only. This was the last time both the 4449 and 700 were on display together. At this time we don't have a confirmed doubleheader for this event. If it happens...and that's a big IF, it would likely be Sunday the 29th. Smokebox > That's great! Wish I could be there. By the > way, have 4449 and 700 ever double headed? > Joshua "orhf dot org" |
