EMDs in the Oregon Backwoods

- Portland & Western's Toledo Branch trains battle a stiff 2.58% grade to the summit of Oregon's Coast Range. The railroad's weapons of choice are 4 axle EMDs. This video takes you into the backwoods of western Oregon where the battle of horsepower vs gravity plays out nearly every day.

Can't wait to watch this awesome production!

Always great to see trains going down the
tracks of America and this is one of them.🤠
🚂🚃🚃🚃🚃🚃🚃🚃🚃🇺🇲💨
I really have to say, the production of your content is incredible. You’re like a cinematographer, historian, director and photographer all in one.
it's such a treat, a great way to spend a quiet evening at home!
The shots of the moving trestles roadbed was incredible; thanks for the great videos!
Those trestles are amazing and beautiful, along with the historical photos.
L👀king at all of that beautiful greenery makes me miss the great Pacific Northwest!🥲👍
Oregon Field guide should air this!
Very cool, I've grown up along this route. For a long time, it was one of the only trains that I'd experienced in person, and I kinda thought that this was the normal speed for all trains. 😄
That was super cool! (Dave).
This is wonderful:" I've always wanted to visit this railroad. Thank you for taking me there! Wish you could have done a video on the Portland & Tillamook before it was wiped out. :)
Absolutely! It had been on my "to do" list and I waited too long.
Just FYI, I think you mean "Port Of Tillamook Bay" :)
@@abritwholikestea yes, indeed. Thank you so much for the correction.
I wonder if Sasquatch does model railroading after watching all these cool trains go by for decades, lol.
Absolutely stunning scenery! The curves and the dense vegetation add such a great touch. What a fabulous rural railroad!
Honestly one of the nicest railfan videos i have watched. Great job !!
Thank you!
It’s incredible how many camera angles (set ups) you do!
Thank you. I try to keep it interesting.
great video ❤❤❤❤
Good stuff! That must have taken quite a bit of hiking to reach all those cool spots.
Yes hiking and we were granted special access for some of the scenes.
That was so groovy! Thank you very much.
Beautiful video. Love the tunnel of trees!
Thank you!
Never seen a cabless locomotive!
Those trees by the track are soaking up the CO2 pumped out by the locos. Great shots.
Great job
Fantastic video as always
Thank you!
I went to OSU and had a dorm room right next to the tracks. Really miss living there and took seeing the haulers every day for granted. I always was curious what the full trip looked like. Thank you for this amazing production!
I remember when Southern Pacific ran 100+ car trains on this line with mid-train helpers. I sure wish I could have chased those SD9's up the hill!
@@7ideaproductions yeah I really wish I could've seen this line in its "prime"
Fifty years ago, I had a dorm room on the top floor of Weatherford tower with a view of the tracks and Marys Peak. I marveled at the trains I saw then and thirty years later, I went to work for the railroad and ran over that line. It is a good run, even at 10 mph that P&W is now running it at.
That's pretty cool that you got to do that. It was the line that got me interested in railroading back in the 1970's. Sure miss the SP but it's nice to see the line is still in use.
Like a couple other guys who replied here, I was an OSU student (OSC originally!) and lived in Cawthorne Hall facing the tracks that passed the campus. I remember seeing many SP trains heading toward Albany. Funny - I don't recall any heading toward the coast!
Very interesting video - thanks!
Very interesting video! Enjoyed! Great production!🙂🙂🙂
Thank you!
You make good videos
Really month 😂 well you do a great job can't wait until the start of a new season
The idea for building this railroad was that to end a transcontinental railroad on the Oregon coast would be better than ending it at Portland, Oregon.
Looks like it would be a good subject for a model railroad.
Are you guys gonna do the coos bay link rail?
This route would be great recreated in Train Sim World.
This is a really cool branch line. Definitely dig the former santa fe unit. Where can you find this rail line? Which two towns does it run in between?
It is located in western Oregon between Toledo and Albany.
Wish I had a penny for every can of spray paint used to decorate rolling stock!
Nice video. Unfortunately, both SLUGS and their mothers are gone now.
any plans to capture the CORP?
3:05 what’s that thing at the bottom of the screen ? That building
That is an old sawdust burner. Sawmills were required by the government to use them in the old days to burn all the sawdust that would pile up and become a fire hazard.
12:40 is the trestle supposed to move like that ?
Those trestles are pretty old and many are getting replaced. I have seen worse on that line. I may have to post some of them. Thanks for the idea!
So is the big sixty tresses still there
They just filled it in. I have heard stories of the grade sinking in places over the years. Probably from the rotting wood.
No particulate filters or add blue on these coal rollers..epa !
This would not be a good candidate for a ev
