Trainnews - volume 2 - issue 160 - 07/03/09
TODAY'S PHOTO
With all of the hoopla involved and the internet chatter concerning 4449's trip from Portland to Minneapolis and then to Owosso for Trainfest, I thought it appropriate to post one of my favorite shots of 4449. Taken at Sherwood on Fathers Day weekend 2008.
