Title:  AFT 4449
Description:  Early in his rail career my father spent some time in SP steamers, probably including SP 4449, hitching cab rides from LA north up the coast. On this day he enjoyed seeing an old friend and remembering those early days of his 30+ year time as a rail. Thanks Dad, for passing that love of trains on to your sons.
