Holiday Express 2021 (ft. SP 4449)
I once again drove down to Portland to see Southern Pacific 4449 running the (mostly) annual Holiday Express in Portland. Enjoy!
(They weren’t whistling as much this time as they were in 2019 which is unfortunate, maybe they got complaints or something I dunno.)

Trains on the Point Defiance Bypass (First Full Day!)
Переглядів 2,5 тис.2 роки тому
Nearly 4 years after the infamous Amtrak 501 derailment, the Point Defiance Bypass has reopened for revenue service, cutting down journey times between Seattle and Portland by around 7 minutes, as opposed to the older route along Puget Sound. Along with the shorter travel time is a newly renovated station in Freighthouse Square in Tacoma, only a couple blocks away from the old station that will...

UP 1111 “Powered By Our People” Leads M-PTLV Through Woodland (Trailing GP15’s!)
Переглядів 2262 роки тому
I got word of this locomotive, painted to honor Union Pacific’s employees (ironic), was coming up north on a short manifest freight between Portland, OR, and Longview, WA, so I caught it. Yeah that’s about it. (I also threw in some random video in Tacoma I had of an empty grain train.)

Chasing I-BRTM with ex-SP AC44 Leader!
Переглядів 1442 роки тому
On Friday I got word of one of UP’s 6 remaining Southern Pacific AC44’s was leading an intermodal train from Portland bound for Tacoma. Of course I had to chase it north. After catching it once in Evaline I buzzed up to Tacoma and met some friends, watched it pass by the Amtrak station, and watched it back into the Port of Tacoma in Fife. A great day overall, haven’t been to Tacoma in a while s...
Music City/WeGo Star Trains in Nashville (6/23/2021)

After exactly two months of stalling due to technical difficulties and lack of care after a while, finally my only other video from my road trip is up. It shows a couple Music City Star (i will never accept the rebranding) trains running between Nashville and Lebanon, TN, but the footage itself is near Nashville. Enjoy!

Two Trains at Sommerville Road (ft. 5 Geep Manifest!)
Переглядів 783 роки тому
I got word that H-TACPAS (Tacoma to Pasco manifest) was approaching with five GP model (or geep) locomotives, so naturally I went to Napavine Hill to see it tackle the grade. Also some random crude oil train showed up and I got that too. Like and subscribe for more videos. © Southwest Washington Rail Productions 2021, All Rights Reserved

A compilation of some footage I’ve shot, most of which was part of a trip that’s gonna get its own video in a bit, along with Amtrak 130 trailing on a southbound Cascades and a northbound BNSF OCS train.

Trains at the Cass Scenic Railroad
Переглядів 3,6 тис.3 роки тому
I went deep into West Virginia to film perhaps one of the best scenic railroads in the country, Cass Scenic Railroad. Located on an old logging line, this state owned railroad has the largest collection of geared steam locomotives anywhere in the world, with five Shays, one Heisler, and one Climax. Today we will see Shays 11 and 2 pushing and pulling trains from Whittaker, Bald Knob, and back. ...

Chasing the Hill Job (Tacoma to Frederickson, WA)
Переглядів 8233 роки тому
I went up to Tacoma last weekend for two reasons: One was to get more Point Defiance footage, the other was this. The test train footage kinda fell through, so this is most of what I got. The Tacoma Rail Hill Job is a train that runs from the Port of Tacoma to an extensive industrial park in Frederickson, some miles to the south. I got to chase it along most of the line and got all of this foot...

For my spring break I visited Arizona and did a bunch of neat things, one of which was spending a couple days getting some trains on this super busy mainline. The Seligman Sub is part of BNSF’s Southern Transcon from LA to Chicago, so it gets a lot of trains. Anyways, enjoy!

Trains in the Columbia River Gorge

Last weekend was my birthday weekend, and to celebrate I took a couple of my friends down to the Gorge and spent two days catching trains. Honestly one of my best trips I’ve ever done, it was fun being in those super scenic areas getting semi-frequent freight trains. This video focuses mainly on the BNSF Fallbridge Subdivision, the UP Portland Subdivision is much less active so we didn’t get as...

    I wonder if some of these railroad companies pay graffiti artists to decorate their boxcars. It may have started out as vandalism, but some of it is so elaborate and pretty that they've got to be paid.

      Yes, or they’re in storage in both Chicago and LA. There was a photo that came out recently of one of the sets being scrapped, and looked like it was in LA (where these two sets were headed), judging by how sunny and warm it looked outside.
