this was the very first 7idea production i remember watching and since then i’ve developed a slight obsession with your productions im never disappointed with them

I drive a truck out of Portland and it is always enjoyable driving I-84 and seeing the trains

Traveling for a living throughout this nation. It's always a relaxing memory to view programming li like this. Featuring freight trains & barges traveling to their destination. Refreshing my memory from years ago -!!!😉.

another great video, I can hardly keep up! Also, another example of your devotion to going the extra mile to get the great shots and also make the video rich with historical information and also include non rail content was going over to the other side of the Columbia River to get the shot of the UP Z Train going by the Bonneville Dam, just as a boat was using the locks to navigate the river! Excellent

I was on one of those rickey old Tribal stands last year ... I might of waved from the Washington side (Yakama)

Stunning scenery captured by excellent photography. Also shows 3 stages of industrialization. Water/Rail/Wind. I bet 'yall never see in 2120 a wind turbine that's been in continuous service for over 70 years and produced a billion megawatts of electric power.

I live within two hundred yards of the north portal of the Peninsula tunnel. The trains Thunder all hours of the day and night.

I went to Multnomah Falls and Bonneville Dam in 2019! They are both such beautiful things to look at in person! ❤️🤩

great video ❤❤❤❤

Can’t wait for you guys to do the UP Montana Sub between Pocatello ID and Silverbow MT. I have yet to see any rail fan videos from that interesting sub. Maybe get the EIRR while you’re there too going up to Ashton ID.

Absolutely amazing video. Good narration and videography as always. So happy to see footage of my home subdivision. :)

The Gorge is an amazing place where ever you go in The Gorge you see trains. BNSF on the Fallbridge between Vancouver and Wishram and Washram to Pasco Hump and UP on the Portland line from Troutdale to Hinkle. The Gorge is the starting points for three programs that will be arriving later. The First is the Fallbridge Sub which will be out in a few days, the second is the Oregon Trunk which goes down to Bend Oregon where it connects to the Cascade Line, and finally The Blues themselves on the OSL which connects Hinkle to Nampa Yard and beyond. Merry Christmas 7 Idea!

Ahh, there's something about the smell of fresh creosote in the air! I noticed that this video was made before the big fires near Cascade Locks and before Amazon Prime containers. If given the opportunity, please eat some wild blackberries for me!😋❤ As a former trucker who always enjoyed the incredible scenery, you have covered the gorge very well!

As an Oregonian, I can assure you I get my fill of blackberries every summer. Then there is blackberry jam, blackberry cobbler.....It's all good!

I also remember way watching 👀 the tug boats guiding the barges along the Columbia river. For myself a nice relaxing way to spend time along the shore -!!!😉.

The train lead by 7814 is a soda ash train. It comes from Wyoming and goes to Portland to be exported over seas. I work for Union Pacific as a conductor out of Portland Oregon

My absolute favorite place to railfan! Great video, makes me want to get back out there soon. I want to thank you for doing such great videos!

So excited to see this uploaded! Ive railfanned the full length of the Portland sub since im "local" to it. For my birthday this year I even stayed a train themed hotel in Hood River that was right along the Portland sub. Nothing quite compares to your documentaries though so im happy to see this!

My back yard you should come back and see how it has changed. Great job.

I LOVE UNION PACIFIC I SEE UNION PACIFIC IN ACTION IN ONTARIO OREGON WERE ME AND MY FAMILY LIVES.

I like train videos on KZread 👍

Columbia River Gorge Trains Part 1 Union Pacific's Portland Subdivision is great!

Great trains great scenery great narration

Interesting/informative/entertaining. Excellent photography job/train location maps. Enabling viewers to better understand what the orator is describing. Spent time in that beautiful region back in the " 90's ". Very few regions on the planet🌎 compare to the Pacific northwest & Western Canada. Remember the " Singing Break Men "🎸🎸🎶🎶 Jimmie Rogers. Whom was a genuine break men till changing careers for a singing/guitar performer. ( 1926 thru 1933 ). Memorable song " Break Man's Blues 😭 ". I noticed graffiti art work on box & tanker cars. Wonder if those artist's are looking👀👀 at their creations -???. 😲 Viewing this presentation from the comfort zone of my computer room. Along the " Space Coast " 🚀of Florida 🐊🐊. At times late night🌛 I hear the distant train 🚂 whistle. Sending memories of the western freight trains -!!! Wishing viewers & R.R. Employees a safe/healthy/prosperous ( 2024 ) 🌈🎉😉.

Amazing Footage.

Always love to stand under the little bridge at Multnomah Falls when a train goes roaring by. It’s intense. Call me crazy but, I love it! Gorgeous (no pun intended😊) footage.

Union Pacific's Portland Subdivision.

I live in Vancouver Washington, it’s beautiful country for sure. Thank you for this guided tour by train 😊. Makes me want to take a train trip. Loved every minute. But if I’m not mistaken, you said the sun was setting behind Mount Hood which is east, but it sets in the West on the coast. Your mention at 1:27:50 must be a sunrise shot 🤔. Thank you for all your work, amazing!!

Real nice production.

Excellent video; great scenery.

That ticking sound @ 3:53, is that the spitter valve dumping water from the air supply?

I live in The Dalles!!

6:49 TOUCHDOWN SEAHAWKS HERITAGE UNIT! 🏈😂

Busy line for the union pacific I am glad I got this on bule Ray union pacific railraod has so many long trains and besides that hinkle trains come to meet spokane sub or go southern Idaho over the bule mountains

52:13 you said it was a grain train, that was actually a soda ash train, those fmlx label hoppers were a dead give away. At that time it was most likely an OGRT4 or OGRLV.

Show

Fun just 😁😁😁😁😁😁😁

7idea Productions, in all your filming have you ever recorded any train hoppers?

🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰

I have asked before and not gotten an answer so I ask again. When there are two containers on a single car and the containers are two different lengths the shorter container is almost always on the bottom with the longer container on top. That is kind of counter intuitive. Why is it almost always that way?

@7ideaproductions

7 ай бұрын

The long containers on top are 53 footers. Many of the well cars can only cradle a 40 (or two 20's) so the smaller containers fit into the bottom and any 53 footers that need to go on the train are stacked on top where they fit nicely. That is more practical than trying to add 53 foot stack wells to the train. I hope my answer (I'm just a filmmaker) will suffice. If anyone in the rail industry has a better answer or correction, please chime in.

@7ideaproductions you are correct and another reason for the 53ft container being on top is due to weight distribution
