Thank you, a great video and lots of personal memories for me - from the shot passing the DQ in Oakridge to chasing SP back and forth between Oakridge and Dunsmuir for a week (my wife was very tolerant in those days). We'd ridden the Coast Starlight north from Sacramento to Salem in July 1992 and the experience led us back to the North-West (from England) a couple of years later. It was a good time with plenty of real SP power, the early CORP switching at Black Butte, BN power in the Willamette Valley and on the way the early California Northern! When we were on the north side of the mountain then Oakridge DQ became our refuelling point while we waited for the next train heading up the hill. In those days there was no Internet to be able to prepare so we just winged it, just wish I'd had your local knowledge but I can't complain, the memories were good as were many of the photos - but the sun/shade issue haunts us all, though better to get a good shade angle than a bad lit angle! Can't wait for your next day's shooting here. Thanks again!

Always nice seeing railfanning around where I live, and I'd always wondered what those hopper cars were doing on that siding off 58 the several times i've driven by over the years. Managed to see a couple NS high hoods at a grain depot in Portland while on a delivery, talk about far from home

Thanks for showing us the back woods beauty of this part of Oregon. You are getting closer to my favorite area, O'dell Lake. I camped there a few years ago, and during my first night there, I heard a train horn echoing through the darkness of the forest. The next day, I was like a kid in a candy store! I was so excited to explore the area. The fishing can wait!😅 Hoping to see that area in your videos. BTW: Fantastic camera footage!😁👍🇺🇸

Another tremendous video. Thank you, sir. I really enjoy the crew radio chatter as well as your commentary. On that final train, it appears the UP is getting to deal with the same problems that beset the SP back in the '60s - namely, units overheating in tunnels!

good video, I'm glad I found you. thanks.

Hello my name is Bruce I have been enjoying your videos for some time now they are fantastic . Its very rare to find a fellow railway employee who loves railways like myself railways run in my family my father was a locomotive engineer for the Canadian national railway since 1948 till his retirement as was my grandfather was a locomotive engineer for the Canadian Pacific railway since 1928 in British Columbia Canada both have since passed away now . They told me so many stories' about the railways they worked for I myself worked for CN rail for years (maintenance of way) till I was injured on the job now I am retired from work on a pension Do you have any plans to do videos in British Columbia Canada there are a lot of beautiful places to film them as well as history please let me know if you are thanks please keep up the good work

Bruce, nice to meet you! I’m sorry you were injured and couldn’t continue, but it’s cool to be a part of a family heritage like that. To answer your question, I do t have plans to get up there, however I would love to do so. I’ve been to BC and Alberta but it’s been a long time. And I never was there with a camera. So such a trip would be fantastic as the scenery is practically unmatched. Maybe someday I can take a trip up north. Perhaps complete the series about UP trains interchanges with CP, and film the journey through the Rockies up there. Thanks a lot for reaching out! -Jeremy

I've been wondering what will happen when the huge fleet of woodchip cars from the 1970s hits the 50 year mark. I have seen a few like these new LFPX cars on eastern webcams; probably in0 garbage service.

Cool !!

How does a Norfolk and Southern locomotive end up on the West coast sandwhiched between the BNSF locomotives at the front of this train? There must be some really good accounting between the freight lines.

These cars are in storage. There isn’t currently business requiring them to be in service. Actually as I understand it, they were involved with the fracking industry carrying sand. I could be wrong. But that is what I know-and that there has been talk they will be moved. Nobody knows when though.

Nice to see you buddy

I saw almost 10,000T and 5 locos and went nope not going to work. UP really needs to do an AC rebuild of the SD70M given they've got over 1400 unless the plan is replace them.

True, if the train can get out of the tunnel, the cool fresh air can revive it. Sometimes they don’t come back on their own though. For the engines with 25 years of service, it is more likely to happen.
