The wife and I drove to Portland on the 3rd and as promised here are the pictures of the SP Daylight X4449. From what I understand, this is one of the last GS4's still running. But...I've been known to be wrong at times. Sorry for the poor quality of the pictures. These were taken right at dusk, just after the 4 PM run.

I believe you are correct. 4449 was restored by Doyle McCormick for the Freedom Train back in 1975. This Christmas train beats CN's hands down! IF memory serves me correctly Portland was home to the now closed Organ Grinder Restaurant where one could eat surrounded by a 47 rank Wurlitzer pipe organ. Jonas Nordwall played there for a number of years. Dennis Hedberg owned the establishment.
