SP 4449 looked very unique and interesting in the black and silver paint scheme, I like this scheme because it reflects SP's final years of steam power operation during the 1950s. The black and silver paint looks plain on most steam engines but for the SP GS class 4-8-4's and the MT class 4-8-2's, I really like this scheme and this scheme was used in both freight and passenger service for SP steam power.

Wow, this is too cool! I know several of these locations well. Awesome video! If you have any more older PNW stuff, it would be great to see it!

Like the 5 SD's on the stack train...great stack talk out of the Scenic siding.

Amazing video, I liked how the BNSF locomotive was also number 4449!

Thanks for the props. My favorite part of watching/videoing 4449 is the stack talk as it passes by.

There are two reasons why was painted black for this event. On the Southern Pacific, Black Daylights did haul freight. #4449 was painted black on her original service record. Since BNSF is a freight railroad, it was only right to paint #4449 black to commemorate her days as a Black Daylight and to her other siblings her that wore the black scheme.

Are you sure it wasn’t painted black just because BNSF didn’t want the colors of another railroad to show up on its employee special?

They should have taken her side skirts and painted the pilot & front of the skyline casing then.

Southern Pacific Daylight 4449 was painted all black and Silver Colors of The Burlington Northern Santa Fe and she pulls The Employee Appreciation Special across the Pacific Northwest in July 2000

It's been twenty-two years since 4449 done this event.

Did anyone notice that the diesel loco has the same number as Daylight? (4449)

wonder if that BNSF unit numbered 4449 is still around today???? Along with BNSF still doing their employee appreciation trains. But if so its obvious there hasn't been one pulled by steam since sometime in the 2000s

nice vid - kato is coming out with the model of it - and i got all the cars - well almost

wow that black almost look like the war babies but it has silver stripes and has the skirting. back then daylights were painted black because it was war days "1940"s and they remove the skirting for easier maintenance

Did anyone notice that both the the gs-4 and the diesel assist both have the same number? We could all assume that bnsf did that on purpose. Nice consist though, and you got an event very few people caught on video.

Looks like a baby daylight. Should have numbered it as 4460 while it was in black.

4449 and the other GS-Class engines were painted black during World War II and during the mid-1950's. Why number it after a GS-6 when you'd have to change the lighting configuration on the nose to make it match?

Why did bnsf make the daylight be painted all black?
