Questions re: 4449 Trip on MRL

[Anonymous]

Who's planning to chase this trip? State your name, rank, and chase plans. I've seen ads saying the train leaves from Sandpoint, and others ads saying it leaves from Spokane. Are they shuttling passengers on bus from Spokane to Sandpoint? That's how they did it with the 700. Anybody know if the deadhead move from Portland is on BNSF or UP? Thanks in advance for your help.

OK, I'll give you guys one more chance. With all the opinions and chatter that goes on here, I'm sure there's at least one person who really knows something worthwhile.

Jeez, posted for nearly a week, with more than two dozen lookers, and nobody knows nothing. Is everybody here from Wisconsin or what?

SP 4449 will travel on the BNSF from Portland Oregon to Spokane Washington
on the Washington side of the Columbia Gorge on the x SP&S route I do not no
if she is still in her AFT colors or back in her DayLight colors. The way I understand
passengers will board in Spokane 10/10/04 and have a layover in Sandpoint.
We will get to see her pass right by our house as we did the SP&S 700. BNSF's
property borders our front yard, that is why we baught this house.
Smug old UP says no non UP steam on their rails.
Hope this helps!

She will be in Daylight colors, she's getting new sheetmetal and running boards right now. Quite frankly, nobody knows because nobody knows.
