NEW 2024 version Remastered in 4K and edited out the parts where I am yappin' my trap. The mighty SP 4449 steam locomotive, aka "The Freedom Train", aka "The Daylight" in a high-speed straight on overhead pass. This video was taken July 3rd, 2011, in the Columbia River Gorge as it was on its way from Portland, Oregon to Wishram, Washington. The crossing we were at is located in Prindle, Washington. The Daylight was really moving this pass, chugging steam and laying on that amazing steam whistle! I laid my HD video camera on the tracks half buried in the ballast rocks and hoped it wouldn't be destroyed. I got lucky! This gigantic streamlined beauty is quite a sight to behold! Got a nice wave from the Engineer as it raced by! Southern Pacific 4449 is the only surviving GS-4 locomotive and is one of the most recognizable locomotives of all time. She was donated to the City of Portland in 1958 and moved to Oaks Amusement Park for static display until December of 1974 when the locomotive was removed from the park to undergo restoration. From August 1975 to December 1976, 4449 shared duties with several other steam locomotives pulling the American Freedom Train throughout the U.S. 4449 is still operational and since mid-2012 resides at the Oregon Rail Heritage Center in Portland along with other preserved locomotives and rolling stock.

The SP4449 Daylight Locomotive in the Columbia River Gorge near Cape Horn. The train stopped for a moment and then resumed its journey. This video is a slow drive-by of the train as it starts to move again. Great old steam Locomotive and an awesome train whistle. In 1975-76 this locomotive, decked out in Red, White, & Blue, traveled around the U.S. as the "Freedom Train" for the nations Bicentennial (200 years) celebration.

This is a High Speed Drive by of the mighty SP4449 Steam Locomotive, aka "The Freedom Train", aka "The Daylight" This video was taken June 25th, 2017, in the Columbia River Gorge as it was on its way from Wishram, Washington, to it's home in Portland, Oregon. The crossing I was at is located in Prindle, Washington. The Daylight was really moving this pass, and laying on the steam whistle! This gigantic streamlined beauty is quite a sight to behold and literally shakes the Earth as it goes by! Plenty of friendly waves from the passengers too.

Multnomah Falls is located in the Columbia River Gorge about 20 minutes East of Portland Oregon. I have used many drones before, but this one I like because it has all the features anyone would want (including 4K Video at 60 frames per second) but it is also about half the price of comparable models by the same company (DJI) I HIGHLY recommend this amazing little drone to anyone, even first timers who have never used or flown a drone before, It comes with everything you need except for a cell phone and a couple of Micro SD memory cards ($35 at Costco): DJI Mavic Air 2 - Drone Quadcopter (Fly More package) https://amzn.to/3hrsYaS The link above is an affiliate link.

My 2 year old shames me with the only word he knows #short Luckily he hasn't learned the word "Really?" #short

The SP4449 Daylight (AKA "The Freedom Train") in a high speed run goes right over my camera! (it survived) #short

It's all fun and games until... you get a little too into the contents of the box #short

My Daughter loves to ham it up for the Camera and already knows that when the little blue light is on, it means the camera is recording... So, this day she decided to put on a little show for everyone, but it went terribly wrong. In the end she decides she needs to rethink this acting stuff and walks of the "set" When I first saw this security cam footage I was at work so I couldn't console her. It broke my heart, and I realized then just how painful it is for a parent when their kid gets hurt or discouraged.

Starting from the Field that was used for the "Vampire Baseball" scene in Twilight. Then over and across the Columbia River to the iconic Multnomah Falls! I sped up some parts a bit to get to the Falls a little faster.

I Caught a PICKUP truck driving on the train tracks! It appears to be a maintenance truck for the BNSF railroad. These trucks have manually raised and lowered guide wheels to allow them to ride the rails like a train!
