Just in time for the 2009 Holiday Express....the OPR website has a new video up about last year's 2008 Holiday Express, put on by the Oregon Rail Heritage Foundation, on the Oregon Pacific Railroad.
For anyone that's interested, it's a bit long at 46 minutes and a large download, 256 megs, but the video features the following scenes....
OPR Tamper and gauge railer in detailed action prior to the event
SP 4449 cab ride
Shots of the 4449 at night
Riding the train on the last day during the big snow storm
Hopefully this video will help motivate more people to come to this year's event!
Here's a direct link to the video....
