What's happening on the SP 4449?
***NEWS NEWS NEWS***
The Friends of the 4449 have been awarded a grant from The Emery Rail Heritage Trust to be used for repair and restoration of our passenger car fleet. These funds will be a great help in improving the condition of our cars and help keep them in service for years to come.
Thank you Emery Rail Heritage Trust!!!

When can I ride behind the SP 4449?
Unfortunately Holiday Express 2020 has been cancelled due to Covid-19 so the next opportunity to ride a train being pulled by the SP 4449 will likely be Holiday Express 2021.
