Kato N GS4 4-8-4 BNSF Black #4449 Steam Locomotive

Description

The GS-4 runs on four massive 80 drivers, 300lbs PSI boiler pressure, and puts out a roaring 5,500 horsepower at 55mph, with a maximum speed of 110 mph. Large drivers give the locomotive a tremendous top speed; the telling mark of a steam engine built for passenger service. In 2000, the #4449 was repainted black and silver for a Burlington Northern Santa Fe employee appreciation special. It was to celebrate the BNSF freight railroad and to commemorate the days of the 4449 and other GS locomotives assigned to freight, helper, or local passenger trains. This train excursion went through Seattle, Washington and then east into Montana before heading back to her home in Portland, Oregon.
