Tracks In Time video available.

On Sept 4 (Labor Day), 2000, KOIN-TV aired "Tracks In Time", a one-hour program about Portland's steam locomotives by narrator Ray Summers and photographer Dale Birkholz.

Highlights:

  • SP 4449 and SP&S 700 in operation.
  • This year's SP&S 700 boiler retubing including great footage of swaging the flues.
  • Interviews with several SP employees (boilermaker, pipefitter, blacksmith) who worked at Brooklyn yard in the steam era.
  • Footage of steam era movements in Brooklyn yard.

    Whether your interest is big steam in operation or getting an inside view of a major maintenance project, there's enough of both to satisfy any purchaser of this tape.

    But especially, if you have any interest in the 700, this tape is a must.
