SP 4449 rolls through east Vancouver on its way to Michigan. Hopefully, it will do as well there as the Ducks did in 2007. I took an extended coffee break at work and snuck away to shoot this image.
Doyle McCormack making a classic "hero" pose with the 4449. I couldn't help but think of the scene in "Tough Guys" from this engle where Doyle says that classic line, "You're crazy, nobody robs train anymore..."
4449 running the annual Christmas trains in Portland out of Oak Parks, within 50 yards of where she was "stuffed and mounted" between the 50s and 70s.

4449 at the Santa train 2007 at Oaks Park. NOTE: this photo was only re-sized for uploading, no cropping or manipulation of any kind was done. I really liked how she filled the frame exactly as I took the shot.
Former Southern Pacific Daylight #4449 lays over in SP's Taylor Yard in the afternoon sunlight after a run down the coast to LA. For the next several days, #4449 will be filmed on several locations, including Taylor Yard, for its role in "Tough Guys" in 1986.
