Just missed that big plume of smoke
Title:  Just missed that big plume of smoke
Description:  My camera's been cranky lately. Never know when the autofocus is just gonna freak out and go totally out of focus or just lock onto the wrong thing. So the shot right before this -- a lost cause, alas.

Holiday Express 2017
Title:  Holiday Express 2017
Description:  It's December in Portland, which means SP 4449 is out on the little 4-mile short line south of downtown every Saturday and Sunday, trundling alongside the Willamette River with Santa Claus in tow. Poking along at 5 to 10mph ill-suits this mainline monster of an engine, and she'll probably be handing this job off to Oregon Rail Heritage Center's other two steamers once they are through their rebuilds.

SP 4449 Holiday Express
Title:  SP 4449 Holiday Express
Description:  We got a rare spell of sunshine on this Sunday afternoon, so I sprinted down on my bike to try and catch a little of it on the 4449. This shot was one of a handful I managed before the clouds rolled in and the sun dropped below the horizon.
