Steam Engines
Sunday, February 26, 2006
This past Christmas season one of Portland, Oregon’s steam engines, Southern Pacific #4449, was used to pull public excursion trains.Tickets were sold out and it was a very succesfull couple of weeks, with most of the money going to support of the 4449 and to provide money towards it’s new home.
Eileen’s cousin is a former cameraman for a local TV station and set up his camera beside the tracks and managed to capture some pretty nice shots of the 4449 coming into the departure siding.
A cold snowy day, lots of steam and haunting sound of steam whistles. This is just about 1 1/2 minutes of the whole video, but it’s a great view of a great steam engine.
This file is more than 30M bytes in size and will take a long time to download if you don’t have broadband. And due to storage constraints on my webhost, this file will probably be deleted in a couple of weeks.

At last

something finished.
The faux-cable cloth was completed this morning and Grace offered to help show it off. A simple and quick little pattern and an interesting use of decreases and increases to simulate a cable twist.
