Thank you!
The Friends of the SP4449 have been awarded a grant from the NRHS for $5,000 for the purpose of restoration and painting the GN-1 steam generator car. This will help bring the exterior of the car to completion and return it to Great Northern colors. A big thank you to the NRHS!

A rare photo op occurred in July with the steamed up 4449 and Amtrak cruising along side.
