This is remarkable ... stunning photography, sensitive narration of history in hidden parts many have no idea of, and persistent reminders of how it all is today. Thank you. This is excellence.

Like clockwork the last few weeks! Our family cant wait to watch this tonight. Thank you for producing such a wonderful product

The best sound recording in any train video I've seen. Gorgeous, stunning and reverent.

Thank you very Much! This movie brough a sweet memories of the time I spent in Oregon State.

Perhaps my favorite 7idea production yet.

That is some beautiful country up through there, I can only imagine being the engineer and conductor, rolling down the tracks going to their destination,

One of the best ones yet !!! I absolutely love the historical pictures with a from that vantage video shot as the video rolls back in. Love the history and beautiful colors of this area. An amazing video big thank you for the many trips and I’m sure days of editing this took

Okay im not even 20 minutes in and this is my favorite video of yours.

Yesss! Another one I've been waiting for having lived along the line while going to college for more than 5 years. I've seen and heard many Toledo branch runs, some a little too well. I had a dorm room right next to the tracks basically, so the westbound run would wake me up at 3 AM nearly every morning. I eventually got used to hearing its horn and could sleep through it. But I definitely took my view of the trains for granted. Thanks for another incredible production!

Fantastic scenery along this line.

I love all the old SP wood chip cars

Love how this one has more of a documentary feel with the history of the rail!

Great video in every way, photo, history. What a job! 👍🙂

I lived in that area and been to the GP plant 100s of time. That GP has there own locomotive

Dude! You have the primo channel of this type on KZread! Great stuff!

Always wanted to see this program after seeing the preview on yt Something about it is just magical. Cant wait for part 2!

Holy smokes, just saw that SP4449 made a trip out to Toledo in 1995. That must have been something.

I love all your programs. I have watched them all repeatedly; some at least a dozen times. There is something wonderful about Aaron's voice and narration that is above and beyond any other rail fan video. With this particular video, I have to say that I am appalled by the sad state of disrepair of the tracks. I'm surprised any engineer or conductor would risk their lives to lead a train on those tracks. I think the train should be renamed from "The Patch" to "The Disaster", short for "Disaster waiting to happen".

Grew up in Corvallis and was always interested in that train route. Some stunning video!

Very nice video brother❤❤😍😍👌👌

I really enjoy watching and listening about history of the the trains and the tracks in these areas of the Northwest thank you.🚂🚃🇺🇲

Excellent production, per usual. I love the historical photos and the then/now comparisons. “Big 60”: Wow! Keep up the great work!

Waiting for part two.😅

Wowzer! Fabulous in every aspect. Research, Cinematography, narration. -jwk- Dallas Oregon

Superb in every aspect; documentation, narration, history and videography. I've run out of adjectives, so I'll just say "really well done". 👍

Awesome!

❤ hi it is so cool to see all the old stuff that you guys show

Very well done! Thankyou!

Great video starting from your hometown! I’ve been there many times as I’ve got in-laws that live up the hill from the mill.

Love these switching videos 😊😊😊😊❤❤❤❤❤

Wow. Amazing video.

Ooo I hope you guys come to Portland and chase P&W through St. John's!!!

Hope you do a video on the Coos bay railway. Thanks

I like train videos on KZread 👍

i do wish POTB was still here

They are doing some track repairs right now. Maybe they are getting ready for another trip.

First off vote the Democrats out. They are not interested in preserving history. Socialism is quite the opposite

I see that this video is from 2020 which must be cuts from multiple days of recording in different seasons as I see the number of locomotives change. The train must not have many cars if there are only 4 locomotives. I usually see 5 maybe 6 locomotives.

It was shot in a span of over 10 years. Quite a bit of changes indeed.

is it still GP? or did international paper buy it, like they did Weyerhouser in Springfield? I haven't been to Toledo, in a long time

@yettimannettii2039

Ай бұрын

Seems so according to their website. Interfor bought GP in Philomath but closed the mill and kilns earlier this year which are two different locations. I was thinking Interfor bought the mill in Toledo also but GP's website still has Toledo as one of their sites. GP in Toledo is safe for now I guess. Looks like KZread seems to be having a tantrum over the link to the news article for the closure. Will have to look for it yourself if you are interested in reading about it. I tried.

At 1:35 there are two slugs in the row. Are they both powered by the same locomotive?

@aquaspire7671

Ай бұрын

No, 3001(locomotive in front t of the slugs) and 3002(the one trailing are the two mother units the p&w owns. If you watch closely everytime you see a slug one of these are connected to one end of it

@yettimannettii2039

A slug has it's own power. It's not completly dead. They just don't have cabs.

Wonderful video . The photographer 's eye for color and detail and the way the train is passing through the landscape under the canopy of huge trees...the way the dramatic sounds of the train on the grades and curves and bridges are conveyed...just wonderful. Than you for making this available. W Alsdorf

The 3001 and its slug were scrapped last year. 3002 still works on the Toledo Branch. I was glad to get both sets working together over the years.

@@yettimannettii2039 You’re thinking of a B unit. They do not have a cab but they do have a prime mover and add power to a locomotive consist. Slugs on the other hand do not make their own power, but they have traction motors which are powered by a connected locomotive. This allows the locomotive consist to apply more traction to the rails by distributing the same amount of power over more axles. They are particularly useful in low speed, heavy tonnage operations where a locomotive would not be able to apply full traction to the rails without the wheels slipping. Also, some slugs do have cabs, unlike B units. You can tell a slug with a cab apart from an actual locomotive due to the lack of radiator fans on top, since there’s no engine to cool.

Pentrex done better. Is that a "Bandit" unit at the GP mill?

Why do the train travel so slow ? Like coming out of Coos Bay Why ?And a slow train means a bigger paycheck !

Track speed is basically determined by track conditions. Safety issues

Safety. Listen again at 20:00

It is a pity that despite money earning traffic, company is unwilling to upgrade tracks for higher train speeds.
