Hi all.
The famous 4449 steam locomotive is coming to my area (Tacoma) in a couple weeks for the "Cascade Rails" convention. I've wanted to see a large steam locomotive in action, but to date the largest one I've seen is Porter #5 at MRSR several years ago. I live in Everett, so I won't be able to stick around at Tacoma for multiple days. I'd like to catch her in action, (not just sitting in the yard) and was wondering if anyone here might know the routes she'll be taking while she's here in Washington. All I know is that she'll be doing 1 or 2 trips across Stampede Pass.
I'd be very grateful if you could share the best dates and locations to see this locomotive.
Thanks.
