4449 to the World's Fair

Kinzua Viaduct

In 1984, the Southern Pacific sent the Daylight passenger train -- complete with the 4449 steam engine -- to the World's Fair in New Orleans, Louisiana.

A railfan's delight; the 4449 coming by for a photo op on the way to the World's Fair.

With a full head of steam and all the fuel the engineer can feed her, the 4449 rumbles past photographers.

A station stop to pick up more passengers.

Every child's dream (and many adults as well): Pop gets to go into the cab of the 4449.

Daylight crossing the Mighty Mississippi at New Orleans

The culmination of the trip. The 4449 leads the Daylight into the 1984 World's Fair in New Orleans.
