    Yes, there is software to clear that up, but the tracks were pretty bad until the late 1970s. Sad to say most of the railroad has been mothballed since Canadian National took over operations.

    I am glad you turned on the comments, some of your other vids do not have them turned on. This is great stuff. I recently found your channel via a suggestion on the right hand side of my screen. Thank you for taking the time to upload your videos. Edit: imagine how many mean it took to build that wood trestle? Nevermind the trees which were in great abundance locally.

    Too bad you don't have more views. This is great stuff. The steam shovel made work like this possible. And men still labored hard despite the advances in technology. Keep it coming when you can. Cheers

    Notice the two round roof passenger cars near the middle of the train they are former Indiana Railroad/Interstate Public Service Interurban sleeping cars

    All (?) the early PGE passenger cars were former interurbans because standard 70- and 80-foot cars risked derailment on the tight curves through the mountains and canyons. It was quite an eclectic and fascinating collection! (I know you posted a year ago, but though I'd add my 2¢.)

    Wow, this is pretty incredible to see. I did not expect to see so much footage on this project from the 1920s! So interesting to see the old equipment in use. I guess at 41:48 there was a landslide / washout, judging by showing the bare hillside and then the steam shovel and locomotive on their sides in rubble.

    Why did you change the aspect ratio? The blurred moving edges are really nauseating for some people fyi. Sorry to be a downer, but I can't watch more than a couple of minutes of this at a time.

    @@antiquemachinery3019 It's okay for a few seconds in video which is otherwise mostly in 16:9, however you shouldn't stretch 4:3 or add effects like that for longer than that. Any 16:9 monitor will letterbox 4:3, so any stretching tends to be unnecessary and can cause issues both technical and biological (eye strain, vertigo, et cetera). Also, maybe add the link to the source in the description? Generally good form even when dealing with public domain stuff. That's it from me in the youtube peanut gallery XD

    it is amazing to walk the area and truly understand the scale of the project.it is very difficult country to access they built a 1000 foot hard rock tunnel as a culvert to handle the creek and it still flow s through the tunnel to this day
