every once and a while I'll have to go to a jobsite down under the Freemont and it was always fun getting to watch any trains rumble by. They float any of the really big stuff for the Abernathy project down the river from under the Freemont
More fantastic videography, Jeremy, and the "stack-talk" from #1616 was awesome! I would think being a green hand starting work in the Albina yard could be bewildering.
Way cool! I pulled trains on the Milwaukee Road in the 70s into Hoyt Street yard and into Brooklyn SP. then I hired out on Uncle Pete and retired in 2013. A stroll down memory lane!
On of the coolest things I ever did was catching the rotary snowplow off the extra board and plowing our way up Snoqualmie Pass in the dead of winter! And I crewed some work trains and the wrecker up there too.
Great video, nice to see operations so close to home. Hope you get a chance someday to do some videos of the BNSF on my side of the Columbia River in Vancouver, WA. Been looking forward to new posting from your site. Thanks and keep up the good work.
Pretty wild , one of our engineers call it the shop of the past . There’s some pretty neat pictures out there of the shop in 1947 ❤. Im a machinist at this shop
Again, another very nice video. I completely agree that so much of this looked like a model railroad. Wonderful scene composition and inclusion of trackside industry and history. Excellent work.
It depends. Perhaps one would be enough-however for heavy long cuts, the acceleration would suffer greatly. When trying to squeeze production out of a switch crew, the start up and stop time makes a HUGE difference in production.
Ah, SP Autocars. Reminds me of my hometown yard. 4:40 "Sook" 😂🤣🤣🤣 Who graphites an American car in Russian? And why didn't they put an a at the end to make it a bad word?
Man, I loved going down there in the day when there still lots of patchovers! Excellent video.
Like 14 beautiful video, greetings 🚂👍🙋♂️
Hello from Los Angeles. Awesome video. I thoroughly enjoy all your videos. Great stuff. Thanks!

Yeah it’s where I started, and I went to Eugene before getting it all learned. I left a few months after hiring out. Been in Eugene ever since!
Ten thousand thumbs up from Missouri and an old Chicago & Northwestern used to be.

Many thanks! I appreciate it!
They do the hopper pickup at Glacier Cement at 7pm on random weekdays. Worth catching to see some industrial street running.
That would be a nice catch! I’ve only seen it once when I was training on the job in 2003. So it’s been a while!
Got into Portland summer of 1988. I recall the rail yards pictured being *Much* bigger than they are currently - or is my memory going?
Some were like Brooklyn yard. But Albina has mostly kept its footprint the same except for a shrunken roundhouse.
Nice video, Jeremy! Are you still a trainman? I figured you were, because there haven't been videos for 3 months until now.
Yes I am! And yes, it got super busy at work. There wasn’t time for anything else for a whike
Curious what’s the advantage of using 2 locomotives for switching. Wouldn’t one more than suffice?

@@pacificrailproductions5281 that makes total sense thanks!

Good question!
