IIRC, there was a fan trip behind #4449 when she moved from Birmingham to somewhere in the east to take over from 2101 for the last few months of 1976. Do you have any pics, Greg?

In April of '77 #4449 pulled Amtrak's "Transcontinental Steam Excursion" on her way home from Florida to Oregon. IIRC a few tickets were sold for the whole trip, but most fans rode only one or two segments - such as Los Angeles to San Francisco or Sacramento to Eugene. See [ngdiscussion.net] for a few pics.
