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
