When mechanical engineering ruled the world.

Just beautiful to watch, like you say.

The 4449 is based out of Portland. When I lived in K Falls, we got to watch and witness this beautiful machine hauling ass down the tracks on it's way to Sacramento. My highlight was that it overnighted in K Falls and I got to have a personal tour of this beauty by the engineer.
