TODAY'S NEWSPAPER
Max Wentler, 27, (foreground with camera), says his dad used to take him to see the Southern Pacific 'Daylight' No. 4449 when he was a kid and he wasn't going to miss a chance to see it take off this morning. Many people were crowded around the locomotive engine just before it was to take off but quickly scattered as the steam and whistle started blowing. Wentler held his position as long as he could to get the best shot, while a man in the background is covering his ears because of the loud whistle. Benjamin Brink/The Oregonian
