HD SP 4449 On the PNWR Crossing the Willamette River

After taking some distinguishable Genessee & Wyoming executives on a short ride to a yard dedication, the SP 4449, accompanied by four passenger cars, traveled back from Tigard, Oregon to its home at the Oregon Rail Heritage Center in Portland, Oregon. This run was fairly interesting for the GS-4, since it has been nine years since its last run on Portland & Western trackage.

Covered in this clip is the PNWR's crossing of the Willamette River on the Tillamook District, which is just south of Milwaukie, Oregon. Due to not having the former turntable from Brooklyn yard installed at its current home yet, the 4449 can be seen leading the train tender first on this segment of its run back.
