Really wish I could have but my work schedule would not allow me to getaway this time around. Hopefully next year as this really looks like a neat event. I do see it was just announced 4449 will be running to Bend Oregon in June, might be able to do the starlight north for that trip and ride behind her to Bend!!
To Erik...4449 does not need to be moved to California, a visit when ever it might be possible is good enough. The pictures I have seen of their new facility look incredible, one of the best in the country!! 4449 has it great in Portland and is in good hand with Doyle and the crew they have. BNSF has also been open to allow her to run on the main in the Northwest. California is mostly UP owned tracks from the north to the south, would be stuck like the SP 2472 is in this world we live in down here unless UP has a steam policy change.
