EMDs in the Oregon Backwoods

Автокөліктер мен көлік құралдары

Portland & Western's Toledo Branch trains battle a stiff 2.58% grade to the summit of Oregon's Coast Range. The railroad's weapons of choice are 4 axle EMDs. This video takes you into the backwoods of western Oregon where the battle of horsepower vs gravity plays out nearly every day.

    Very cool, I've grown up along this route. For a long time, it was one of the only trains that I'd experienced in person, and I kinda thought that this was the normal speed for all trains. 😄

    Fifty years ago, I had a dorm room on the top floor of Weatherford tower with a view of the tracks and Marys Peak. I marveled at the trains I saw then and thirty years later, I went to work for the railroad and ran over that line. It is a good run, even at 10 mph that P&W is now running it at.
