Western Railroad Videos
United States
Приєднався 27 чер 2016
This channel will cover a variety of railroads from the western United States, primarily around the San Francisco Bay Area from 1991 to the present day. Railroads featured include Southern Pacific, Northwestern Pacific, Napa Valley Railroad, Santa Fe, Union Pacific, BNSF, McCloud Railway, California Northern, Richmond Pacific, Oakland Terminal Railway, Amtrak & Amtrak California, Caltrain, as well as specials, short lines and mainline steam. At my behest, dad would often capture various railroad scenes with our family's Sony 8mm video camera during family outings around California in the 1990s. In 1998 at age 13, I started shooting my own 8mm video, whenever I would go on track-side photographic adventures.

On Monday, February 28, 2022 the Northwestern Pacific ran their last train before SMART took over freight operations from NWP on March 1st. SMART purchased the two gensets (NWP 2009, NWP 2611) and is contracting freight operations to Summit Signal Inc. on a monthly lease. It is assumed by many that SMART will work to end all freight operations as soon as possible. MP15DC NWP 1501 will be return...

As the Northwestern Pacific prepares for the impending takeover by SMART on March 1st, 2022, it's just another day of railroading on the Redwood Empire Route in Northern California. NWP 1501 and NWP 2009 sort their train of empty LPG tank cars coming out of storage and empty grain, wheat and barely covered hoppers from the dairies and Lagunitas brewery in Petaluma, California.

BNSF C44-9W 4700 leads the daily westbound Barstow-Richmond manifest still wearing the stunningly immaculate Warbonnet paint it was delivered with 23 years ago. It even has the original matching air conditioner. It's been years since I've seen a Warbonnet this nice, much less leading. East Rheem and West Rheem (Richmond), California. Monday, August 9, 2021.

With the throttle buried in run-8, a savage all EMD consist with SD59MX UP 9922, GP40-2 UP 9992 and SD70M UP 4214 roars through Bahia and Giant, California on a crisp fall day in October, 2020. UP 9987 is former Western Pacific 3552. It's always nice to see a 40 year old Geep ripping its guts out on a mainline freight.

Very cool that the cover was off so that we could see the inner workings.
Gotta admit the Chargers are ugly but they have great K5LAs
wait a sec- what kind of whistle does sp 2467 has? isnt she suppose to have SP 6 CHIME?
That’s Cab car 6963
These locomotives and the Gallery Nippon Sharyo coaches are heading Lima in Perú.. for the first commuter train in the history of Peru.
Preserved tunnel motor. UP made the right choice to donate this SD45T-2 to CSRM. SP #6819 needs a refresh of paint though.
i've seen this video countless times but never actually though to myself until now: why did they run the equipment down to the bay area if they were trying to trade equipment with the WPRM in Rio Vista? isn't the only way to get to Rio Vista via Cannon siding in Vacaville?
How you can tell that it’s an SD90MAC with the H engine is at 1:05. See the slopes on the low portion? That’s the distinguishing feature between the SD90MAC-H and the SD9043MAC.
In the end, All EMD locomotives with the Older Two-Piece Teardrop Style Wide Cab just look great to me. And the SD80MAC's and SD90MAC's just look cool.
Will the train tracks will be back!
0:46
2:36 that's the Midway Road crossing in Dixon, CA!
RIP POTB and tracks
I like the body design on that engine.
I Loved Those Locomotives
I took VHS video myself here. Several hours of it. The Ex took it with her for some reason known only to her. So this footage here means ALOT to me!
You know a few weeks ago the Amtrak capital corridor trains was going to use the warm springs sub due to a new switch being constructed or put in on the Niles sub
It would nice if they would’ve left that second track for BNSF trains going through Pinole nowadays because I’m pretty sure they get tight on one single track
This SP 8251 locomotive is still in operation in Brazil. Search for Rumo 9467
They must’ve been crazy crazy late for that shot to be possible! They usually go thru there in the middle of the night!
Could I use this video for my series called Engines Of CP? I will give credit.
It is frustration on steroids that these men who built the railroad Infrastructure did not have a plan for continued use of all right of ways after the completion of the highway system Passenger rail is so badly needed in this country They have all waited until the cost was in the billions to bring back Passenger rail service
Man, Talk about history. Great Video, Thanks for posting it. Man what a different world it is today in that area.
Thank you. I just checked out the Davenport area on Google Earth and you're right, hardly recognizable.
This Great Watching The Southern Pacific's P-8 4-6-2 Pacifi's #2472 & #2467 and MCR Diesel 714 As They Are From California State Railroad Museum 😊😊😊 🚂🚂🚂
I think most of you from the beginning you should call him and thank him explanation point since you ripped his heart out
In the 2467 I was the one that put the fire out on it for its last day Mike Russell himself told me to kill the oil to it at 12:01 Hunters Point San Francisco
Mike Mangini started everything for you but your greed for power got you where you are today you never mentioned him how dare you
Nice! sad the plant closed.

Great catch of a classic locomotive; sad to see an ending of this kind.
I notice that that crossing is a no train horn zone, I wonder when that first started
I'm surprised UP didn't build more than two dozen of these SD59s, they seem better than other crap rebuilds ongoing.
Agreed
4:50 8:26 N3V Games Please Add SP 2467’s Deep Tone Whistle to Trainz driver 2
Cool video. Very familiar territory. I’ve run on this rail many times! Thanks 👍❤️Subscribing
This must have been near the end of the RR--Mc Cloud Railway, as opposed to McCloud River RR. What a shame, it's all gone now.
I like 6936 with a K3la
Caltrain caltrans and union pacific was using those dumbarton railroad bridge for years ago now it was crashed and swinged away
As mentioned already, a scene never to be repeated. I don't even remember the last time UP did a Dunsmuir, Portola, or Colfax Railroad Days event.
Thought it has a 645F3B? Or a 645Z, since the the MP36s had Polish built F blocks
No, these units have rebuilt 16-645E3 prime movers.
One last run of Amtrak #231 before being stored. Then Dynamic Rail Preservation saved it for preservation. Now they're working on restoring #231.
Speaking of that I am right next to it at Nevada State railroad museum!!!!
Now it's got a working engine without working traction motors
@@frostbyte3978 they'll get that fixed in due time before it becomes 100% Restored
I m a rail fan so I like this too Thank You
These gentlemen are switching like molasses.
Very nice!
Outstanding footage!! The 2467 will always be my favorite!
The Southern Pacific 2467 is my favorite steam locomotive!! Hopefully, it will operate again in the near future. I especially love hearing its whistle at 4:50. Also, does anyone know what the high-pitched noise coming from it is?
hey its been a while since ive seen you, HRICBAR had 4700 leading a few weeks ago. i dont know what has been going on but its been a while and idk if u are still here. respond to me if you are still on youtube
