ORHF 4449 |
Description: |
PAULS VALLEY OK March 9 1976 -- Oregon Rail Heritage Foundation 4449 steps out with the American Ffeedom train in tow. This shot is actually taken north of Pauls Valley on U.S. 77 where the highway paralells the tracks for several miles. A great subject and a great spot for pacing. Upon comparing the two scans of this train I see this one has a Santa Fe Bicentennial unit while the earlier in the day shot does not have the diesel. My memory is firm on the locations but I might be wrong on the exact date. I do not remember the diesel being addes. Anyone out there have input on the date or the diesel? |

GAINESVILLE TX March 9 1976 -- The location is south of Gainesville on the way to Oklahoma. The Freedom Train departed Fort Worth in early morning cloudy weather. This photo shows 4449 alone pulling the Freedom Train. Another photo I took the same day near Pauls Valley shows a Santa Fe Bicentennial unit in the consist. I would like to know if my dating of this photo is accurate and what the story of the diesel being added is. Any takers? |

AFT 4449 |
Description: |
When the AMERICAN FREEDOM TRAIN was on its way from Jackson, Mississippi to Baton Rouge via the Illinois Central Gulf, it made a brief stop in Hammond, Louisiana to pick up media personnel for the last 45 miles of the trip. Here, the train had just pulled onto the line from Hammond to Baton Rouge and stopped so that folks could get an up-close look at 4-8-4 4449; and then it would make a second stop so that the guests could board the last car. Notice Uncle Sam bending down on the left of the loco. |

In this view, the 4449 (and its tool car) had run around the train and was about to couple on to the last car so it could pull the train backwards to its display site. The Louisiana state capital building is the tall building on the left. |

TRANSCONTINENTAL STEAM EXCURSION |
Description: |
Amtrak’s first and only TRANSCONTINENTAL STEAM EXCURSION, featuring former AMERICAN FREEDOM TRAIN and originally Southern Pacific 4-8-4 4449, had just arrived in New Orleans Union Passenger Terminal behind Illinois Central GP9 9016 and GP10 8277. The 4449 had developed a boiler problem earlier in the day after running through a crossover at high speed in Hazlehurst, Mississippi; and the IC geeps rescued the train after the 4449 finally failed 20 miles from NOUPT. |
