Southern Pacific #4449
Finally, at about 1:40, three hours behind schedule, the two doubleheaded steam locomotives came through Peninsula Junction.

I was actually a little disappointed that #4449 was in the lead. I have seen #4449 many times and will undoubtedly see it many more, while I may not have the opportunity to see #844 again for years, and I was hoping that #844 would be in the lead so I could get some good pictures of it in action. I ended up making due with some good pictures of #4449 and some merely decent pictures of #844.

Note the yellow patch now under the cab window on #4449. As a joke, #4449's crew "renumbered" the locomotive as UPY #845, as a parody of Union Pacific's "patch" style of renumbering former Southern Pacific locomotives it acquired through the merger. These temporary patches were applied to both side of #4449's cab be engineer Doyle McCormack while waiting at Kenton for #844, and were removed when the train got to Vancouver.
