What memories this brings back! I was a locomotive engineer for Southern Pacific hiring out in 1963. I work on the Toledo branch one of the most beautiful interesting and historic lines! Historic little towns, covered bridges and stunning wooded Mountain of scenery! ! worked on local freight in Toledo we used SD nines at that time! I also worked all over the willamette valley from Portland to Eugene. saddens me to see The Tillamook branch shut down! at any rate Thank you for the post! Really incredible amount of historical information that I wasn’t aware of you did some epic history study!

It is hearing stories like yours that helps to bring life to these lines. Thank you for sharing. I’m glad this film brought back good memories.
Cannot wait for part 2!
So good!
Can't believe this doesn't have more views. Great shots and well edited. Thank you for sharing! I spent several years in Grants Pass and loved train watching all around the region. Back then you still saw SP units. Times have changed!

Thank you sir. Part 2 will be out soon.
Great video! I grew up and live nearby in the Willamette Valley and learned so much from your narration. When the weather permits I love to ride my motorcycle on the hwy that parallels the line between Blodgett and down Crystal Creek and on through Elk City and Toledo.

Thanks for your work on this fine video! It is interesting to learn about the history and operation of this railroad that I see when fishing and hunting in the area.
I very much enjoy watching your videos! Would love to see a film on our little shoreline out here in Eastern Oregon!

That one is still on its way technically. We haven’t received it yet. Plus there are more units on the way. I will probably do an updated video in a couple years.
Thanks for the photos as Tunnel 22 disappeared and that huge trestle being buried. I heard it took only six days to complete, is that correct?

Yes it was a very quick process. They also increased the clearance of tunnel 24 at the same time.
Hi! I was wondering if you know the operating 'schedule' for the Toledo Hauler/Patch? Such as typical times and days of the week they operate. If your able to share, it would be much appreciated, thank you!

Generally the outbound train leaves Albany in the evening M-F. The Inbound train leaves Toledo in the morning around 7am Tu-Sat.
I couldnt imagine going 10mph for 10 to 12 hours at a time, that must be excruciatingly boring.
