After an introduction and a brief history, we see the famous Southern Pacific #4449 in 1986 traveling from Portland to Los Angeles to star in the Hollywood movie, Tough Guys. From the Pentrex show "Steam Across America" https://rfd.video/SteamAcrossAmerica | Steam Giants

It's sometimes referred to as "The Great Race". In 1989, Union Pacific 8444 and Southern Pacific 4449 raced side-by-side up Cajon Pass. Pentrex has now found HIGH DEF footage of that trip! Here is a taste of the Great Race, from "8444 Rides Again" available on DVD or Blu-ray: https://rfd.video/8444RidesAgain | Railfan Depot

SP 4449 and UP 844 double heading 3.wmv

No, you are not seeing double. This is Southern Pacific 4449 running along the (I believe) Yakima River in 1989. This clip is from a unique video called "Reflections". Each scene shows a train and its reflection, like this clip. It's quite "artsy". :-) On sale this week for $9.95: http://rfd.video/TrainReflections | Railfan Depot
