- One certainly should avoid inflationary use of the word "insane," but here... wow! Two Union Pacific manifests disguised as Canadian Pacific trains in the Columbia Basin. Then an intermodal with 8 engines, and this INSANE grain train with 5 DPUs in the middle, 9 engines in total, in the Columbia River Gorge! Plus a few more, but watch the video and decide by yourself what to think of these catches. Or simply relax and enjoy magnificent rail action in breathtaking scenery - in 4k quality :)
Note: This video has been recorded and produced in 4k Ultra-HD resolution.

INSANE video with surprisingly huge trains! I'm very keen on your footage. Keep up the good work man.
Thanks a lot!
Insane.. Mb Great description and the views are just breathtaking 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽 love the old school conductor eye balling the passing train, he's doing his job right👍🏽👍🏽
Thanks so much!
Awesome big time railroading. Great catches. Excellent video.
That's true. Some were neat catches out of the extraordinary or at least unexpected. Many thanks!
WOW,fantastic video! Especially enjoyed the huge grain train.Beautiful scenery as well.
Good you enjoyed watching this one, too!
The title was my thoughts exactly when I was in the Gorge back in early July. Amazing stuff came crawling out alongside the beautiful scenery.
Lol, I can imagine. I wished I had more time when I was there.
+mbmars01 You can say that again. I only had 2 full days (1 full, two halves) in the area, so I had to narrow out a little bit of everything.
Excellent video. Looking forward to the steam train video.
Many thanks. Great, I hope I'll be able to work on it soon :)
Awesome catches! Amazing Trains!
Many thanks!
Big Dawg thank you for getting some action on the Columbia...me personally have never visited there but I know a guy loved that point of view for rail fanning. I wasn’t sure if you where going to get over there Bro.but you didn’t & thanks!
Also...this this video that turned me onto the gorge
ua-cam.com/video/LB6GW4OlxYM/v-deo.html
Lol, Big Dawg made it happen. It was great, but a bit short. It's worth taking some time and explore the area. Next time ... :)
Great vid!!
Thanks!
Great video. A little correction, that massive unit train with the 5 mid dpus is actually a soda ash train. They run from Green River, Wy to Portland for export on ships.
Thanks very much. You're right, of course. As a visitor from the far southeast, I wasn't too familiar with the train moves in the northwest at that time.
Wow! You went to Germany?! Can’t wait for the next video on narrow gauge steam!
Yep, visiting relatives and making a short trip into a mountain region called Harz.
One maybe should avoid that word as much as possible, but this IS insane! Awesome video! I always thought UP underpowers their trains compared to the BNSF counterparts, but there's a serious reason to reconsider that claim. I'm looking forward to your footage from Harzer Schmalspurbahnen, as I'd like to visit that area one day.
Lol, many thanks :) Well, I never had the impression that UP underpowers their trains, but I'm possibly too much used to CSX and NS often having problems with the lack of power. Cool you already identified the narrow gauge railroad :) I have some nice footage filmed at the mountain Brocken, which I'll share soon.
Mr Mistr Productions UP puts the right amount of hp per axel, so yes they tend to under power trains. Example a 3x2 manifest, first two units and one dpu on line the other 2 motors are off.
Indeed, some great catches.
Thanks!
Excellent video
Thanks!
I guess its safe to say that you have left Ga!! Great looking video,,,,but you knew that already!
Not at all lol. I'm back in GA now. Many thanks! I also really like this video.
Great video nice catches
Thanks!
Excellent catches
Many thanks!
You two are my favorite UA-camrs
Very Nice Captured bro very longest train 👍👍👍
Thanks, great you enjoyed it.
Excellent video. Loved that series form the northwest. Do u know how many trains that line gets.
Many thanks. I'm glad you liked the series about this "expedition" :) I spent very little time in the Columbia River Gorge and it was not enough to really get an idea about the amount of traffic. BNSF on the Washington side of the river seemed to be somewhat busier than UP on the Oregon side, but I might be wrong.
I hope you had a chance to make it to Hood River RR. That has a great view of the valley and Mt. Hood. (Which I have skied many times in my younger day about 30 years ago.) I don't know if you made to Bonneville Dam. There is great shots there too.
I had no time left to explore the area in more detail this time and was headed to the airport in Portland for my flight back. Maybe another time...
That solid CP consist looks superb. UP trains do seem to have a much greater variety of power than BNSF.
UP has always experimented with different modifications of stock power to pull out the ultimate hp. I think that BNSF rather uses a streamlined roster to keep maintenance as efficient as possible.
Hrmph! CP 9821 is pretty cool!
Cool video!
Great, thanks.
Nice video once again, thanks for sharing, any idea on the length of the train with the 9 DPU's?
Thanks! No, I didn't count ...
awesome vide i saw a up autorack and another in the evening i WENT TRAIN WHATCHING ALSO I sawa SD70M up leading a train and i saw 8099!!!!! :)
Thanks & that's awesome!
ya it is!!!!
Did I count correctly? Was that last train...5 Mid Train DPUs?
I’ve also never seen a train with power in the front, middle, and rear. That’s worth of “insane” :D
Great video, very professional!
Yep, thanks!
I have seen a number of UP unit trains( soda ash, grain, coal) on the Pocatello subdivision in Idaho with a 3+5+1 locomotive consist. Great to watch these guys climbing the steep grade(Reverse Hill) Eastbound out of Hammett, Idaho.
Nice to see my home road, Canadian Pacific, in a video from that far away. Any idea how many cars were in the loaded unit grain train? As always, great video!
No, I can't count cars while filming. Many thanks!
Awesome!! I do wish that The Dalles isn't a quiet zone...at least downtown...
Oh well... So true, quiet zones are annoying for us railfans everywhere.
@@mbmars01 I guess its true...Although I do wish locations didn't have quiet zones I do think some quiet zones make for great railfanning spots (SE Portland, Stevenson, The Dalles, Salem, East Vancouver...) Also just outside downtown is Weber Street...a great location with signals and a curve...and it's a horn zone...There's also another quiet zone along the I-84 west of The Dalles...
Thanks for the info. I didn't have time to explore the area as it already dawned when I arrived in The Dalles and my flight back from Portland to Atlanta was scheduled the following morning. It was nice to get a first impression of the area nonetheless. I guess I need to return one day :)
@@mbmars01 yep. A return is always good...I would like to return to KC eventually...I found some good spots there...and I'd like to return to Maine too, to railfan along Pan Am and such...
I guess we all have our list of places to visit. It seem it's never getting shorter, but longer lol
Awesome 👏. How often do you catch Canadian Pacific? And that’s the most mid Dpus I’ve ever seen!
Thanks! CP power shows up regularly here in GA on CSX and NS trains, but I wouldn’t complain about seeing more of them. Yeah, 5 DPUs is really a lot lol
Nice video!
Great, thanks.
nice video
Many thanks.
Glad u took in more fun
Lol, yep.
I've gotta admit it: At the Start of this video, 2 UP manifests went by as Canadian Pacific Railway, UP intermodal w/ 8 UP's intotal, and a terrifying or insane grain train with 5 mid-DPU's around the CRG.
Indeed. Where I do typically railfan, I'm not used to these kind of power demonstrations lol
I haven't seen 5 mid-train units since Southern Pacific was still running over Tehachapi. Epic. Did you happen to get a car count?
It was an awesome sight, for sure. No, I don't have a car count, but I didn't have the impression that the train was unusually long.
I see. That was a great catch!
@mbmars01 Not sure if you saw one of the UP AC60CW's in the Building America (Flag) paint scheme.
I don't think I saw one on this trip.
Nice!
Thank ya!
I wonder why you were on the BNSF Fallbridge Sub, dude?
0:36 This UP Manifest is more like Canadian Pacific trains held for an incoming train.
No, no... I think insane perfectly captures that UP 3+5+1 grain train.
To that date, my favorite grain train was a BNSF grain train with 4+3+2 engines for power on the Southern Transcon. But this UP train tops it; I've never seen 5 center DPUs on a train before.
I can’t say I’ve ever seen anything that big before. Not in the DC area or the Atlanta area. The freight trains in the coastal areas just don’t need that kind of power.
Hm its interesting how much the tracks gives way when the trains go across them. they get pufhsed far into the ground at some spots. tracks look soft
Really strange they didn't cut the 5 pack out at Hinkle after coming over the Blues! Also what look like grain trains can also be soda ash trains but normally they use the smaller three bay cars with ASHX marks.
Where does he come from/go to?
tator05 not all soda ash trains have the smaller 5161 cars with the ashx markings, this one was a soda ash train I saw some white streaks on some of the hopers. It was most likely an OGRT4 or an OGRLV hard to tell with out looking at a lineup.
Did Union Pacific get their ac6000cw repainted
i like train vidoes on youtube
Wonderful gets. (the best)
I'm happy you like these catches :)
i wonder why CP doesn't have tier 4
locomotives
Because of cost, I also believe it has something to do with the engines would be limited to where they could go but I'm not sure
Also, to be blunt, because the EPA has no jurisdiction in Canada. Our emissions rules are met by Tier 3 units. They can't operate in the US unless they are grandfathered. Any T3 units bought by CN or CP after T4 came in are captive to Canada.
They've been investing in remanufacturing their older locomotives instead.
Canadian Pacific is bringing many SD40-2's out of storage and either sending them to the U.S. to be turned into SD30-2's, or just dusting the cobwebs off at the Canadian shops in Winnipeg and Calgary to be put back in service. Mostly yard work. Keith Creel is un-doing much of Hunter's deeds, if you will. The first thing he did the day he took over as Canadian Pacific's CEO was to bring back the beaver logo. You'll see it more often.
I caught my first heritage unit NS 3461 OLS
Cool catch :)
kinda sounds like not all 5 DPU was online. Cause be a power movement
love the video
I don't think DPUs are all online at all times, but are turned on as needed. Thanks, great you like it :)
All engines in consists other than power moves are fully operational at all times. Most of the time, it is only the leading two locomotives that actually produce power. The rest are for dynamic braking assistance on larger grades. Hope this helps
Awesome video thumbs upp
Great, thanks!
Do they not blow their horns when crossing roadways like they do in Ga??
Some towns have horn restrictions. The trains only blow their horn in emergency situations.
Even in GA we have quiet zones (unfortunately).
Why is the sd70m so popular in the union pacific fleet?
I have already asked myself this question. They might well have regretted this massive order just a few years later when AC locos became standard.
@@mbmars01 they made a bigger oof than csx does with their jobs
Why spend so much on sd70m's XD
Good question lol
@@mbmars01 ikr not even scientists can figure it out
Hi mbmars
Hello :)
You came to my area!?!?!?
Yep, I visited the entire northwest in June.
@@mbmars01 WOW!!
You should railfan i'm downtown opelika in alabama two main lines CSX and NS they have a diamond
I know, I've been there.
i live in auburn and maybe you should do a video if you haven't
It's definitely a interesting spot.
mbmars01 yeah because you have the A&WP main line that it's from Atlanta to Montgomery and you see the mainline for a very long time once you get out of auburn then you have ns which is very interesting do to the way the tracks were laided down by southern
Sounds great. I'll keep it in mind when I'm in the area the next time!
25 seconds of the worst intro music I've ever heard. Dude, I get it... you shoot good train videos... get on with it.
That’s certainly a matter of taste; I like it 😊 Good you enjoy watching the videos, simply skip the intro.
Odd that you describe these machines as mentally disturbed.
Well, don't take it in the literal sense. It's used here more like an arty expression for crazily amazing...
