Nothing like Oregon shortline action, thanks for another good one, Dan.

Very nice, Dan. As an "Original Transcon RR" enthusiast, living in this area enables us some interesting short rail fan trips. Thanks.

This paint scheme is great, green and yellow always works well together. It's interesting when the locomotive runs long hood forward. We rarely see this with the Class 1 railroads. But I guess this is more common on the shortlines. The two towns are very lovely, they are typical American small towns. I like the big school bus depot at the start of the video. Amazing footage again Dan, thank you for your efforts.

It runs short-hood forward going eastbound. Even if the A&E has the right to use the Albany wye, it involves the UP dispatcher, several Amtrak trains, and both UP and W&P traffic. In other words, a PITA that's probably not worth it. Anyway, there's no wye anywhere else on the line.

Thanks Z! Yes he is correct the Albany & Eastern actually has no way of their own to turn locomotives so this is pretty common these days when they only run with one unit. Years ago it was common for this train to have two units but for at least a couple years now they have ran it with a single unit.

I enjoyed watching this video of the Albany & Eastern Hauler running from Lebanon, Oregon to Albany, Oregon, Dan! The drone and ground views of the train gave us an unobstructed view of the train and the surrounding landscape. The green landscape looked good as the train passed.

Gotta love Dan's Oregon short line railroading from the air!❤🤗 . . . . . . . 🚂Lawrence

Great drone work once again Mr. Dan, you captured railroading you don't normally see.

Thanks for saving me a seat on the drone it is a handy tool filming trains and you always hit the spot. Your productions are next to none Dan you take us where we won't to go every time. Paul

Thank you so much! Always happy to read your comments. 😁

Great video, Dan! Albany & Eastern has been running trains in and out - and through - the Albany yard since Willamette & Pacific took over in 1993. Before about 2002 and the PNWR's leasing of the lower OE and OE yard in Albany, AERC had a job based in the OE yard and interchanged there, running through the WPRR yard to get over to Lebanon.

Thanks so much Lou it really means a lot that you're watching my videos! Wow that's cool I did not know that about a AERC job in the OE yard. That is interesting.

Such a beautiful video. Love seeing the train going through town. Once again I get the strong impression of a model railroad set up, especially starting at 2:21 and including the depot, of course. So much fun and educational to watch your vids, Dan.

Thanks so much Rick! Yes I hear that a lot about looking like models which I have heard has been some great inspiration for those in that world which is a great bi product!

You brought brightness to our day-once again!

Yet another interesting and well documented railway scene Dan. That country certainly does look a nice ‘neck of the woods’. 👍🏽

Thanks and yeah it is a pretty nice neck of the woods. I live in the same valley about an hour South.

I know you love your vista footage, as do we all, but trackage through small towns is so cool. How else would I get to see a makeshift 'roof' built on 4 shipping containers to facilitate unloading of covered hoppers. Simply brilliant, and an amazing modeling project. I vote for more 'in town' views...just sayin'. 🤘

I wonder how much of a difference it is for the crew when the engine is driven this way. Vision is one obviously

Awesome catch Dan that's also a railroad that we want to chase next September when we go up there. How to get a hold of you a couple weeks before we head up and maybe we can hook up with you and you can tell us where to go. Thanks. Gary

Question does the UP run over the highway at 10:00.

Yes Dan, filming over towns and highways, is your drome below 250gm? Do you have any public liability insurance? I only ask because I took the commercial drone licence here in the UK, and flying over public and private infrastructure required all sorts of permissions.

@TheRailfanDan

It's not quite as strict here about what you fly over but yes I have heard about how many rules you have to deal with in the UK.

🚂🚂🚂

Do you need special permission to fly the drone (and film) over the Albany switching yard?

@TheRailfanDan

Technically no because the railroad doesn't own the airspace.
