This is easy I'm a big Southern Pacific fan -including the 4449- all my life in addition, I'm also a big fan of the Great Northern,Northern Pacific,SP&S, Union Pacific, Santa Fe, Norfolk and Western. I started to look at 4449 when I was 5 or 6 years old when she hauled the Freedom Train and I been hooked on the 4449 ever since.also, my grandfather started in the railroad business when he was a engineer on the SP and Great Northern railroads out of Portland
