Remarks & Notes

Following restoration for American Freedom Train service, SP4449 makes her early morning debut at BN's Hoyt Street roundhouse in Portland where the work was done. She had actually been out and about previously, but on this date she was able to stretch her legs for the first time in years by hauling a freight train to Wishram and return.
