If your interested, (I know I am) one of the steam locomotive's from the Brooklyn Roundhouse will be running this Holiday Season.
The Southern Pacific #4449 steam locomotive will be doing the honors of pulling this train for a 40-minute roundtrip thru scenic Oaks Bottom Wildlife Refuge in SE Portland, on the Oregon Pacific Railroad which runs along the Willamette River.

Thanks, Scott. Sorry to hear you’re ill. It was very nice and the weather held out for us.
I was surprised they let us climb up into the cab of the “Daylight”…That was very cool.
