I grew up going past the hump yard in Pasco. We bought a 5 acre plot in "Clark's Edition" Directly across the runway West of the humpyard. Many a summers night would lay in bed and listen to the sounds of the yard. Great video thanks.
Thanks for your extensive railfan filming 🎥 🙏 around Washington, loved the bit about Dave's old trucks. My maternal grandfather was still driving trucks as a general carrier into the early 70'a with a Chev truck like that in New Zealand 🇳🇿 ❤
Great video with equally amazing narration. It’s amazing how many improvements the BNSF made to former Northern Pacific. Welded rail, concrete ties and new ballast. The former NP has the capacity to be double tracked to Sand Point and once it clears Mullins Pass the double track to Laurel and further east.
I drive truck through that area quite a bit. Always try to do some train spotting. Thank you 7idea. Now I can check it out within worrying about driving off the road.🤣
As someone living in the southeastern US it’s always cool to see some blue and yellow CSX’s out in the west. Plus that Montana rail link locomotive was sharp looking as well.
I love your films. Please do an extensive one on the Oregon Trunk; I grew up in the area. It would also be really interesting to see the story of how you got into this business And how it has grown over the years.
This video is foreshadowing the need and end of the MRL lease. The improvements coming along the former NP Transcontinental route. It has the ability to expand capacity beyond that of the former Great Northern Route.
Amazing to see what was new and different back then. Very detailed work on this movie, I couldn't ask for more! Would love to see a return to a line like the Lakeside 10 years later, a cool way to compare and contrast. Would be amazing to be able to meet you. Cheers!
Superb work once again, terrific locations and camera work. Love the red sky sequences at Tokio 1:06:14, although I'm sure the air quality was pretty bad out there.

Love the video and footage of being out in the open flat of eastern Washington. I think some video using a drone would make some of the shots even more dramatic! But overall great footage of trains. Growing up next to tracks in the PNW town of Sumner, I got to meet many engineers over the years and my grandmother even fed some of them when they had to stop next to our property. I became an illustrated artist for my career but if hadn't I would have gotten to be a train engineer, because at 8yrs old was called up into an engine moving train cars in the production plant near our house and was allowed to drive the engine per the instructions of the engineer running it. After that I truly got bitten and loved trains and thought that was going to be my career but ended up following my drawing skills. Love the video and makes me wonder if I missed out on a career in this field of trains. Keep up the good job of producing great train videos!
Thank you for taking time to comment! I agree drone footage would have been a big plus however this was shot before the use of drones took off (pun intended).
Amazing! I been on that route when I went to California on Amtrak’s westbound Empire Builder. What steam locomotives did Northern Pacific use on that subdivision when steam power was around? Their handsome 4-8-4 Northerns, the 4-6-6-4 Z class Challengers, 4-6-2 Pacifics, or even their 2-8-2 Mikados? We have a very few Northern Pacific steam survivors and the only big steam survivor from the railroad is Northern Pacific O-3 Class 2-8-2 No: 1762 who is being restored to its original condition. But there is another one which is an exception SP&S 700 which was based off Northern Pacific’s later and more modern 4-8-4s. It would have been nice if we had a NP Challenger in preservation or even one of their 2-8-8-4 Yellowstones. Seeing those as major steam excursion stars would of been amazing.
Interesting/informative/entertaining. Excellent photography job enabling viewers to better understand what the orator is describing. My favorite scenic train🚂 rides. Durango Colorado & Bryson City N.C. Wishing viewers/rail road 🚂 employees a safe/healthy/prosperous (2024) 🌈🎉😉. Former Moffitt cancer survivor. Perhaps some of my medicine arrived by train -???
Love your videos. A couple corrections: the UP south of Lakeside Jct is on their own line, the abandoned line at that location is the SP&S. I lived in Spangle during the changes in Marshall Canyon. Latah Creek is pronounced Lah tuh. Used to be called Hangman Creek.
Great stuff. You had to get up early for a lot of these. Eltopia siding was originally called "Hell to Pay" (in its rough boomer days), but local blue-noses soon renamed it. Mesa is pronounced "Meesa." Don't ask me why. You did get Beatrice correct. Good catch. Latah is pronounced LAY-tah (like Utah)
Been really enjoying these 2-hour long videos when I’m trucking. Just breathtaking coverage overall! Would you consider revisiting Columbia River Gorge for filming? A lot has changed since previous 2011-12 footage.
Hello I thoroughly enjoy your productions and context. The audio is great and I am just wondering if you are using 4K video? Keep up the great work. Thanks.
It's called a hump yard, gravity and computers, the brakes are released from the string by a conductor and the engineer shoved it and the cats Break off and then get routed to the Siding that there going to. Most RR COS HAVE them for breaking down Arriving trains
I don’t think the oil trains were for export. They were and still are supplying the Shell and BP refineries at Anacortes and Cherry Point, Washington, respectively.
Good job, why don’t you do a video about the Florida East Coast Railroad from the Florida Keys to Jacksonville, I believe they are one of the few remaining railroads that still use all two person crews or has that situation changed?

Your production values are just obscenely good. I always feel like I'm watching a PBS documentary with these videos. They're worth every penny.
Thank you very much for your kind words and for watching!
I second that
really beautiful high contrast color imaging. brings out the magic of the land and the railroads.

Love seeing some high quality footage of the PNW!! Thanks for posting this!
I have to say that you make the best train videos; informative and entertaining 😀
Thank you!
The sun glistening off of those shiny MRL EMD’s is a sight to behold.

delay in block was inspired by this very man. 7idea has inspired many
they have an Oregon Trunk DVD on their website.
Hi I just love your videos you make
great super video bro ❤❤❤❤
Wow great vidieo thank you
Thank you for sharing this video. The quality is superb, as always!

Beautiful videography!
Can’t wait for future video uploads of Idaho.
Thanks for a great video.
Right before the 3rd main was added and the re spray facility along with Husky Cougar and Pasco East cutting over to Fiber
Another outstanding video! Awesome light at Tokio!! 😳😱

Beautiful!
Very nicely done! Not a boring moment and very informational
Very well said !! Hello from Washington DC
Don’t forget SP&S #700, hey did a "Homecoming Excursion" back in 2001
Superb work once again, terrific locations and camera work. Love the red sky sequences at Tokio 1:06:14, although I'm sure the air quality was pretty bad out there.
Thanks for these! They are amazing videos!
Another fantastic video!! You are my go to channel for trains!!
Pretty unique consists
Another amazing upload, thank you!!! Watching from Pahrump Nevada 🇺🇲
Thanks! Always good to hear from Pahrump!
Love that Sprague area for train watching. Happy the Northern Pacific depot is still there!

Great video! When was this video filmed ? There are so many rare units in this that they look new!
Thank you! It was filmed in 2014.
@@7ideaproductionsthe description says the dvd was created in 2013

Thanks for the childhood flashbacks .. Still looks the same ..lol
Amazing films ,a part of the states I’ve yet to visitb
Long , heavy and powerfull train ❤❤
I've been on this sub! On the Empire Builder of course... but it looked a bit different at night!
alright let's do this another great one I got my pasta dinner and I'm ready to roll😋 🍽 🧋
On the former Northern Pacific Railway.
Are y’all going to upload the Fallbridge sub?
MSTS/OPENRAILS also has a decent route of the LAKESIDE Sub It has modelled both the UP and BNSF parts
Hello I thoroughly enjoy your productions and context. The audio is great and I am just wondering if you are using 4K video? Keep up the great work. Thanks.
This was originally shot in HD back in 2014 and up-converted to 4k for UA-cam.
At around 9:40
Can some one tell me how those lone carriages are able to move ??
It's called a hump yard, gravity and computers, the brakes are released from the string by a conductor and the engineer shoved it and the cats

Thank you for the info and correction.
I like train videos on UA-cam 👍
another fantastic release. Are all of these former DVD releases? and if they are, do you plan on releasing more?
Awesome videos! How many trains run on this line?
Most Americans don`t realize how commerce gets done.Stuff just shows up at their stores.
Whats with the white sacks along the track side ?
Love From India ❤
what are those big white 'bags?' laying next to the tracks? are they spikes maybe? or did they fall off a car?
Why do the locos sound the horn after they have passed the crossing ?
Is that a natural spring bubbling up in the lake
Sorry for this question, but what is a “Q” train? Or is it “cue” train?
Guaranteed Service Intermodal
Intermodel mostly goes to Seattle these days, I would say 8 our of 10. Unless its mainly JB hunt.
Good job, why don’t you do a video about the Florida East Coast Railroad from the Florida Keys to Jacksonville, I believe they are one of the few remaining railroads that still use all two person crews or has that situation changed?
The white painted rock in the tracks ?
BNSF. Better Not Start a Family!
I Guess that's what Happens when you Work on the Railroad

I watched this at my grandpas I think
Too many adds.
