Used to love walking the tracks through uninhabited areas. Just enjoying the quiet and solitude of being alone with my thoughts and at peace from the cluttered world.

I worked as a Conductor going from Roseville Ca. to Portola through the Feather River Canyon with the Southern Pacific and now Union Pacific. Pretty scenery.

So did my dad.

Feather river system is amazing

Feather river is an absolutely amazing rout, rather you cab ride, passenger train, or hop a freight, one of the most beautiful routs I have ever personally ridden.

some of the most amazing engineering feats are only ever seen by train drivers, great video thanks

Back in the day, I remember the all streamlined, silver, California Zephyr storming out of the Feather River Canyon, reaching a top speed of 120 MPH. One of the most beautiful sights in the world!!

yea would like to that 120 mph on feather river route LOL. Total BS

50 dislikes--what's not to like about this amazing video???

It's rare to have such a perfect blend of nature and technology.

This is another example of why Northern California is such a great place to live and work.

The greatness of nature is so great that the bridges and the train look like toys. Superb video guides us where we can not go.

I went to highschool in Oroville and Jr high in Quincy. Lived a few places along highway 70 in the feather river canyon. I loved it there and want to go back when I retire. I miss the trains and the beautiful canyon places.

Amazing feather river rail roads,best videos.Train journey is most entertaining journey comparing to other means.Thanks to all railway employees who dedicated their lives for railways.

Wow! beautiful bridges, very nice video, thanks for sharing

This is American technoligy at its finest, The standard of the world. 5/5

Wow! ....　You are right at where these trains are at! Take care!

cool video. gotta love them trains.

Never ending respect for the people who built/d and maintain railroads.

Arthur Keddie was a genius. The Western Pacific was his idea/dream, and he was designer of what is now known as the Keddie Wye.

I used to joy-ride between Oroville and Portola. Still remember the long tunnels and awesome views.

Awesome video, The great US railroads and scenery, a truly industrious nation,

Beautiful scenic views with these trains.

Wow! what a ride that would be! I love trains!!!

Nice video. I work the BNSF side of this run and it is truly amazing. Thank you for the posting, I shared it to facebook to show distant relatives and friends what amazing work I have.

A really good video.thankyou

Thankyou very much for a thoroughly professional offering .It makes me very relaxed to watch the procession of Iron Horses.

This video was just...way cool !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! And unlike some of your other "admirers", thanks for gettong close to those trains!!!!!!!!!!

This is why i want to become a train engineer, working with the equipment, but mostly going on the track that leads u to these amazing views in the mountain, beautiful i tell u what!

Been to feather river falls..... beautiful!!

What an amazing collection of railroad infrastructure!

I used to go trout fishing on the Feather, mostly the tributary streams. Chips creek, Chambers creek, Spanish creek and a nice inflow just about under the trestle at Tobin. Can't remember the name of it. Hung out a bit at Tobin when it was in business. Not a bad watering hole. Hauled lumber out of Quincy for a good many years. The Feather River highway was about as interesting for an 18 wheeler as the railroad was for a locomotive. Rocks! Damned rocks and slides. As they said, slow going. Well, no point in trying to hurry, there was always another corner ahead. Rode the California Zephyr to Chicago, lo those many years ago. Army days back in the early 60s. Train ticket from Sacramento to Ayer, Mass was $78.00 if I recall correctly. Brings back some memories. Drinking gin with the off duty conductor(?) in a forward car heading down the Eastern slope of the Continental Divide. Asked him how fast we were going and he said about 103-105 mph on that stretch. I was impressed. Changing trains in Chicago. Ah hell, wish that I could do it all over again.

on that ride ..it was quiet in the pullman car as people readied themselves for sleep. Then, from one upper, came my voice: "i'll have you know i'm a respectable man, so one of you girls will have to leave." hahahaha

I miss this stretch of hwy. Living in Plumas County, I had to travel along Feather River. Beautiful. Just beautiful. Thanks.

Something most Reno/Sparks folks have never seen. Myself included. It's winter and it looks like summer there. Love trains.

Thanks for posting the seven wonders of the rail road tracks. A total different view of the tree forest. It looks like a fake movie the way every thing looks, but it is a true video.

I have driven past the Keddie Wye dozens of times, along with the other sites. Amazing to see them on video.

thanks for this, i always loved trains

Truly an amazing route. Unique in all of train-dom. I've wanted to actually go see it for myself for a long time. I hope I get to sometime. Thanks for posting this! And yes, requires slow speeds alright .... good brakes in one direction, and, a ton of fuel in the other.

One of the absolute best railroading video's I've seen on KZread. Loved you getting that crew change out in the middle of nowhere. Great!

Men, this was fantastic, such a great adventure. I expected for centuries for a movie like this, once this complex of Feather River was not clear to me how it functions. Thank you.

Super cool ! GOD bless you !

that's why i love humans... good explain bro

the cassandra crossing springs to mind

One thing this vid shows is the amazing skill and daring of those who built this rail track bridges and crossovers awesome scenery this would be a great place to run a tourist train

I live in England and love the trains in your country. great vidio. Well done!

I just love US railroads. Great stuff guys!!

Great Train video and places. Thumbs up liked for you also.

The Scenery Is so Beautiful.

I am sure all those containers enjoyed the splendid views. This used to be a passenger line operated by the Western Pacific railroad. I took it many times.

WOW! That was fun. Great vid. Thanks

Amazing

Thanks for the upload as a signal engineer i loved it.

That must of been fun to watch!

Das sind sehr schöne Aussichten gruß Peter

I up voted this. I don't know why anyone would down vote it. I've been a lover of railroads for 61 years since I was 3, and left New York City on a train for Cleveland Ohio powered by a steam locomotive. Even at that age I was so awestruck at the locomotive it was burned into my memory.

Amazing! Thank you for putting it on youtube. I would love to come out there and see all that!

Thanks for a great video - it was spectacular!

Excellent video

Great shot. Well done. Excellent video.

what a superb trains footage!!!

Well done video. Beautifully shot.

Thanks for sharing this outstanding video.

Beautiful. Compliments from Holland.

wow, amazing. I just love railroad bridges.

amazing.

Thank you, this has been added to a playlist...

Hi Thank you for posting this video Ienjot watching train videos Than You Again Dave from Oregon

nice vid thanks

my father was store keeper at Elko, Winnamucca and Portola in the 1930's with the WPRR...He traveled these very rails in your beautiful video. Excellent framing and editing. I have a treasure trove of WPRR photos, documents and stories from my father that I am working into a story of sorts...

Fantastic video...it's almost a short documentary of types. Thanks for all of the time you must have spent on this....getting some many camera angles and locations.

No way !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! That Clio Trestle would kill me, LOL!

Wonderful,Greatful and Amazing Railroad.😍😍👍👍

Amazing! Thanks for the video.

Amazing video! Makes my heart thump with anticipation to visit this area.

great work! Thanks!

It would be great to be an engineer, you get to see a lot of scenery that you cant see from the roads/highways. Thanks for sharing this.

This was pretty amazing and I loved the scenery, it reminds me of the old west.

Amazing footage, Will have to agree with the seven railroad wonders of the world, Thanks

Loved this, thanks

That looks amazing.

Both of my Grandfathers worked for Jersey Central Rail Road one was a brake men and killed one foggy night in 1940 in hudson county freight yard

That was pretty damn good.

Great video. Thanks for posting.

I like the crew change mascot, LOL!

I wish I was on that train...I L O V E trains. Thanks 4 the vid...

Great work, Ladybug, those are amazing places!

Beautiful. I wish I had this setting as a railway display. I'd spend hours trying to make one train go west and the other go east.

+Mick Carson You'd probably need more than one 4 X 8 plywood. I made a Tehachapi Loop with 'N' gauge and had a heck of a time making it work. Should have gone with an 8 X 8. No room though.

great scenery

This video is spectacular! It's hard to imagine the effort that went into it. Thanks for sharing.

THANKS ! SUPERB

Great Job! This was sooo cool! Thanks for sharing with us!!

Tolles Video!!!!!!!

Great stuff. Good seeing those patched units of the Q, GN, NP & SP&S! Being from the midwest, I never have been out there to see the wye live.

Wow!! I like trains, but Im watching the scenery more!!!

Looks like one helluva a future Rails to Trails project

True nature beauty and excellent engineering skills

Good Video, great scenery.............

I loved to see this video! Shot in a variaty of angles and rich in sounds! It gives a good view of the situation and the colors are spectacular! Nice commentary too!!! Thanks and greetings from the south of Chile!

Danke fuer dieses Video. Herrliche Landschaft mit geiler Technik :)
