Thrill to the sight of big steam conquering the Pacific Northwest as SP Daylight 4449 takes to the rails once more! See the SP Daylight 4449 in black paint! Witness big steam over Stevens Pass! Ride aboard the train along scenic Puget Sound! Catch dozens and dozens of spectacular runbys! In July of 2000, the mighty 4449 was painted black with BNSF decals to head up a BNSF Employee Appreciation Special. Running over former Burlington Northern trackage, the Daylight treated enthusiastic crowds to the sights and sounds of thundering steam power.
Pentrex was on the spot, capturing exciting scenes throughout the train’s extensive route. Starting in Vancouver, Washington, we follow the train across the state and into British Columbia, Canada, and Idaho, visiting the cities of Tacoma, Seattle, Everett, Bellingham, and Vancouver, B.C. A special highlight is a ride aboard the train along the Puget Sound, from Balmer Yard in Seattle to Everett. You’ll see the EAS traveling over Stevens Pass – what an awesome sight that is! – and at Skykomish and exiting Cascade Tunnel. Continuing eastward, the train stops at Wenatchee and Spokane, then crosses the long bridge over Lake Pend Oreille on its way to Sandpoint, Idaho. Dozens and dozens of runbys fill the screen with scenic images of steam railroading. There’s also plenty of freight and passenger train action along the route, including Amtrak’s Talgo trains.
* Bonus Footage: 15 additional minutes, not available in the VHS version, featuring diesel freight and Amtrak action in the beautiful Pacific Northwest.

I can’t stop watching this video over and over. i love it to death. if bnsf borrows the 4449 again in the future, they should do it like this. the 4449 is my favorite sp locomotive.

Seeing SP 4449 “dressed up” for this special occasion will always be nice to look back upon… This is a rare occurrence and is likely to never be repeated again… This was ANOTHER one of my first Pentrex purchases years ago… Forever a “classic”…

Enjoyed this program very much. Great footage of the train with Puget Sound both on the train and on the ground as well. Older power leading trains as well. 4449 in that Black Paint scheme, it looks sharp. Makes me want to visit that whole area one day. A+ Pentrex right here.

This was my first Pentrex video with SP 4449 in black like she did back in the 1950’s when steam power was bumped from the primary passenger runs with the additional pinstripes and BNSF decals. I like the vintage shot of a sister locomotive in the original daylight paint as well 4413 in black pulling the cascade.

Seeing the 4449 in black color pulling the BNSF employee special is my personal favorite along with the original Daylight colors.

This was the very first pentrex DVD ever made. There is also good riding footage along Puget sound, different freights on BNSF, despite the pre-merged units still wearing their own paint in operation, and Amtrak’s new Cascade Limited.
