Drones And Grain Trains Over Stampede Pass

For the first time I decided to Chas a train over Stampede Pass. The First train I saw was actually a storage train down the Veazy spur, coming in a video later.
I ended up chasing this train from Palmer Junction to the Yakima River Valley. Please Enjoy.

A salute to the return to Stampede Pass and all the improvements by the BNSF to the former Northern Pacific Route. Anyone who had witnessed its disrepair has to be thrilled by the welded steel rail, the concrete ties and the road bed. The scenic beauty of the area is captured in this presentation

Thanks man! Always appreciate your comments.

[@TracksideNW]

That’s a good long chase. Thanks for taking us along.

[@West_Cascade_Rail]

Thanks for the comment! I'm glad you enjoyed.

[@johnwinden8511]

Another great job, thank you!

[@West_Cascade_Rail]

I appreciate it!

That Yakima river canyon area is just gorgeous, well worth the little bit of extra time to take that rather than hwy 82, plus you might see a train too. BNSF seems to run a lot of grain trains through there, pretty much all I see.

Amazing video! There is a killer spot on the pass just out of Stampede tunnel called martin highly recommend checking it out sometime

[@West_Cascade_Rail]

I'll have to check it out next time I'm in the area. Thanks for the tip!

[@railsofwesternwashington6877]

@@West_Cascade_Rail if you ever need directions let me know because it is kind of a secret spot

[@West_Cascade_Rail]

GPS coordinates would be great!

[@railsofwesternwashington6877]

@@West_Cascade_Rail just look up directions to Meany Lodge it is right by the tunnel it will put you just a short walk away

[@kennydings3879]

It ain’t that secret. You can park a 1/4 mile away from it.

[@rail_travel]

Great job! What camera do you shoot with?

[@West_Cascade_Rail]

Thank you! I use a Panasonic Lumix FZ1000.

[@rail_travel]

@@West_Cascade_Rail How do you do 60 fps in 4K? If the Lumix FZ1000 shoots 4K 25/30 per second!

[@West_Cascade_Rail]

@@rail_travel good. Question. The drone footage is 4k 60 but the lumix is 1080 60

[@rail_travel]

@@West_Cascade_Rail And 1080/60 is converted to 4K?

[@rail_travel]

@@West_Cascade_Rail And without losing quality! Is it possible?
