7idea productions and Distant Signal are by far the two best RR channels on KZread. The history lessons are great. "Whiskey Mike"

Absoblumenlutely and definitely our favourite KZread channel. My wife also loves your program, yet has little interest in railroads. We both had a good laugh on hearing a happy train crew to allow some bags of coal to ''fall off'' the train when passing by Whiskey Mike's place in winter. 😆

I used to live in Pocatello right across the street from the hump yard and crew change point when I was a teen. I would fall asleep to the sound of idling diesels every night.

Great to see a program filmed this year! Thank you Aaron! ❤

You are welcome!

Superb photography and narration. Come back when it's warmer.

I grew up in Pocatello not far from the switch hill. One day a group us got the idea of visiting the hill. On our run through the yards we were detained by the railroad guard. Instead of kicking us out he took us to the hill and we got to see the cars from the inspectors chair under the tracks on the hill. One of the highlights of my childhood. Great video. Thank you!

Would love to see a video of the UP Montana Sub between Pocatello and Silverbow. Such an overlooked interesting sub.

Traffic is quite a bit more sparse on the Montana Sub than the OSL. I don't know how many times I've been utterly skunked between Idaho Falls and Butte, although the few images I got are good ones.

I live here in Idaho. 1.5 hours from Pocatello. Railfaned it when I was down there

I agree. The photography is excellent. Not just trains rolling by. Very well done! More please!

Winter on the OSL this week. 1:05 We begin where all trains on the OSL are built Pocatello Yard itself

Having lived in Pocatello my whole life, I miss the around the clock bustling rail yard operations that used to occur here. Railroad employees were a large and diverse part of our population. Most were re-located or laid off permanently with the down sizing that took place over the course of several decades. I feel like city officials in our town did very little to compromise with operation expansion proposals that were made by UPRR throughout the late 20th century. As a partial result, Union Pacific expanded in other locations and our huge rail yard seems like just a whistle stop nowadays.

I remember staying in Pocatello for a couple of days in the late 1990's with friends at there house on the hills around town. It was a log home and very quiet but you could still hear the cars bang at the hump. At that distance, it didn't bother me and I fell asleep to it soon. Jordan was a welder for U.P.R.R. I should have had him take me for a tour but we had a horse trip planned and never got around to it.

Thank you for this view NOW I know where I want to go for my next railroad adventure!

love riding trains in the snow .

OH MAN I love winter railroading! Thanks 7idea!

What a great channel ...thank you!

I lived to the west of the hump bowl tracks while going to Jr high and high school during late 1950s and early 1960. My father was a yard engineer and a couple times was able to take on the hump engine shoving trains over the hump.

Thank you so much for some OSL footage. It’s once again great to see home territory. Reminds me that I need to go spend some time trackside.

I love the small history lesson. Thank you!

Amazing videos and catches, love those landscapes. 7 idea the best. Greetings from Chile.

Excellent Presentation combined with extraordinary efforts. Hearty Greetings from Hyderabad, India 🇮🇳

Gorgeous! So beautiful, so easy to imagine the quiet and cold. That Mike guy had a good thing going.

I grew up in Rexburg, ID. I know Pocatello well, but I didn't know the train history. One thing I don't miss is the weather. So 🥶 cold .

I can’t believe you caught this many good trains out there. I run I-86 and Hwy 30 regularly and since PSR I feel lucky to catch 2 trains all day. Great video!

Nice video about an out of the way line. Great to see some of the old stations still standing. Kudos for getting out there in winter conditions to shoot this.

You captured the scenery wonderfully. The sound was perfect. How your team gets these pictures amazes me ibn the conditions they work in.

ALWAYS Spectacular videos! It's amazing how you can pronounce the names of all those towns with their unusual spellings! Besides patience, it must take a lot of hot coffee ☕️ to keep your camera and sound crew comfortable! Thanks always, for these interesting and beautiful videos! 👏👏👏👏👏

Excellent train captures.

Awesome catches along the Pocatello sub

Superb video, thanks for sharing, from Germany

Love this video! Stunning scenery well shot and love the fact the line is signaled too

Love excellent videos of the UP’! What a challenge with the winter weather! LOVE THE UNION PACIFIC thanks for sharing!

Dang 1 day and 20k views. That’s a sign that Idaho and trains make for the best videos!

Thanks for your efforts. I grew up in the Bancroft area and eventually moved to Pocatello, now the last 30 years. I drove a PTI van for about 6 months 2 years ago during cancer treatments. I hauled crews from Green River to Nampa, Ogden to Silverbow and many locations in between. My country.

30:11 love seeing the old AC6000 units out and about.

Great stuff! With how dead the OSL feels nowadays it's nice to see traffic on it even in winter!

Thank you for doing the history lesson on the display locos in Ross Park. I live about 5 houses away from that location and haven't been able to get any information on them. Way cool!

Videos are great to look at during snow storms and right after. But it is not so great to have to work under the cold and msnowy conditions when prroblems arise.

Great video 👍👍👍👍

On occasion i haul fertilizer out of Pocatello or Soda Springs. So i kinda railfan from the cab of my truck. Thanks for the history lesson and the excellent footage.

That long curve shot at pebble is the one I'm planning to use when the 4014 comes through this summer.

Awesome video great history and info

I just love these train videos😊

No heritage/special paint locomotives. No foreign power. And you managed to catch two SD70Ms together NOT in the 4000 number series. Excellent work!

Keep those Union Pacific videos coming!!!!!!

That's some rough country. I wouldn't mind visiting... but I think I'd miss the sea. 29:55 is a great shot.

The 2-8-2 steam locomotive in the park is/was a coal-burner, as shown by its ash pan under the firebox.

Dying to see the Seattle sub and Brooklyn Subs get uploaded. Those are my territory(with the Portland sub as well)

What’s your biggest challenge of filming in the winter time? Beautiful filming by the way, the sky is so blue.

That's some serious hazmat😮

SUPERE video 😍😍❤❤

Great Film. You should do a trip from Harrisburg, Pa all the way up to Horseshoe curve, Altoona PA.

Awesome videos!

I would like to see you do an Arizona video even threw Yuma AZ.

Wow, surprise new video...always well done! Is this the first video you made straight to youtube? Will there be an extended version available on your website?

Yes there will be a longer version available later this year. It will be available both on KZread and disc.

I Love Unit Trains! Shipping Coal, Potash, Covered Hoppers, Coal, Gravel, Tank Cars, Hazardous Materials, Beef, TOFC, Well Cars, so much!!! Big Lash Ups of Motive Power and a long string of cars. Too bad some of the mergers took away some of my favorite Train Lines. Occasionally a former popular car will find its way into the pack. But, where is its destination? Not to the scrap heap, maybe to a club for members to make it a museum piece? So glad I’ve been buying KATO Track, I’ll be laying claim to at least a 12’ by 20’piece of the basement for my N Scale Operation. The Electric Company came in and ruined some of my plans. The basement concrete block wall in the Northwest portion of my future empire was exactly where the Panel Boxes for the Main and 2 Sub-Feeds had to go. Yep, took a big portion of what I had hoped for a 25 foot run. Down to only 12’ due to the Utility Room.😂 That gave me pause for over 30 years! When WW3 starts what will we face?

What's the average time lapse between trains on this route. The video makes it appear they are riding each other's tails!

As usual, Idaho has no idea of maintaining roads in the winter. Great video!

Rails follow I-15 south of Pocatello to McCammon. US 30 shadows the line to Lava Hot Springs and then leaves it to go west over Fish Creek pass, across Gem Valley into Soda Springs. It's a well maintained State road. Old US 30 follows the OSL until it it reconnects between Talmage and Alexander before Soda. It's all county roads and not so highly traveled. I think from the filming we saw one hay truck go by.

top.

Technically this is not the "Overland Route" at all, which goes to Ogden and on the SP to Sacramento. It's the Oregon Short Line or the Northwestern District.

I drove thru here in 2108 in a rental truck…

The condition of those artifacts at Pocatello is a shame. The cab of the steamer is filling with snow, the diesel looks worn out and the caboose looks even worse. I guess the people of Pocatello just don't care.
