My dad was in the coal business all his life and in 1967 took us to this area for a family vacation. He always talked about potash and loved this kind of scenery. Watching this made me feel like he was here with me. Your videos are gorgeous and tranquilizing and so informative. My husband Richard is your biggest fan and I'm your new one. Thank you so much for this excellence. ❤
It is humblig watching theese vetrans navigate theese rugged terains in. full control of getting ttheese trains from point to point could almost run their trains blindfolded with the experience they have. I say almost blindfolded because it would be. imposible to do their jobs s afely
UNBEALIVABLE BEAUTY! I enjoy your. super professional rail videos I once worked for Conrail . I sit here drink I my coffee at 6 a m. giving thank for another day..A.C. Keep up the heartfelt prodcutions
So many familiar scenes and landmarks. In winter 1978 friends and I took this same trip for train chasing. Sacramento to Provo, Mapleton, Thistle, Soldier Summit, Helper, Price, Green River. We caught the Rio Grande Zephyr a couple of days. Also spent the night at the Utah Railway yard. Alcos! We traveled and cold camped in my VW bus. See my avatar. Froze our asses, our water and had to warm the oil sump one morning with the catalytic heater before the bus would start. Our trip back to Sacramento we kept going South to the Grand Canyon. On our way back we also stopped at Tehachapi Loop for more chasing. Great Trip. Recently scanned the slides and working on a slideshow. Nice work here on your part. Thanks for sharing.
When the first thing you see is a heritage unit. You know it's going to be a great day.
I see a train like the one at 9:30 leaving Roper yard in SLC every now and then. Always wondered what was up with that. Now I know.
Thank you for documenting the trains on this video especially the last segment on the Utah Railroad, Drayton! Your efforts at documenting current railroad history are greatly appreciated along with the historical perspective that you add to current railroad operations. I really appreciate all the effort you put into your video productions.
21:07 that has to be one of the smoothest shots I've ever seen of a moving train!
I love this type of railfanning movies. Great trains in beautiful landscape with an aweful commentary. Thank you 👍
One of my best railroad memories happened on the UTAH in Provo, and to make it sweeter, it was on National Train Day. A friend and I noticed that their was some Aussie units as well was the MK50-3s. Also was their was a Utah Railway employee. I asked first thing if we could check out the interior of the MK50-3s. He told have at it, but be aware of your surroundings. Then go and see him once we was done. So we seen the interior of 5001, 5006 & 6062, a SD50S. Also on hand was a GP38-2 in fresh paint. After we photographed the units we went in and let him know that we was fine but things just got better. He had waiting for us was a cold bottle of water and a true Utah Railway hat. No orange at all on the hat. Very awesome day. Earlier down in Ogden on display was UP 1989 and 1996!. That day will be hard to top that one off. Thanks for bringing back the memories Delay in Block!
Another superb history lesson with visual accompaniment.
Drayton, very nice work! I would really like to see you do some more videos out west.
Maybe go from Salt Lake to Portland and follow the Uncle Pete over the Blues Mountains
in Eastern Oregon over to Hinkle yard and down the Columbia River Gorge into
Portland. Then while your here in Portland you can check out SP4449 and SPS700
and some short line activity in the area.
Great scenery and a nice mix of trains. Wife and I visited Utah in 1993 - so it was good to see some of those dramatic landscapes. You guys do a great job with content and narration.
Stunning landscapes of Utah, thanks for viewing your beautiful country & railfanning, greetings from New Zealand.😎👌👍😷
Your videos are very good. Good narration, no meaningless chatter, succinct narration, good sound recording, excellent photography, and superb subject selection. You must have talented camera, audio, an editing persons. Good clear and crisp images. I’m sure your cameras are good quality. Thanks!
Did I see at 53 minutes in the gorge area, 5 lead loco's and midpoint DPU's tied together totalling 6 !
Wow ! Thats guaranteed tractive force.
Thats eleven loco's, and I still haven't seen the end of the train.😎👌👍😷
MORE POWER!!! Love the Utah RR segment with all that power overcoming gravity with a heavy load. Winter scenery was great. Awesome job!! Many 👍👍👍!!!
Always giving the best video shots and best historical informations. Drayton DIB is the best UA-cam railfan channel in my opinion. He covers all the US of A. No discrimination there. Keep up the work. I enjoyed DIB during the pandemic March 2020 to now. Thanks
Enjoyed your excellent video and appreciate very much you giving the viewer information about the equipment and the locations. I always enjoy watching just trains but I like to learn more about railroad operation and equipment. The scenery in Utah during the winter just makes the viewing that much better. Thanks
Thank you so much for the kind comment. If you aren't a subscriber, please consider following the channel. Have a great day!
What a treat. Thoroughly enjoyed the locale, the topography, the photography and of course: the trains. Many thanks.
Such a great video. I can feel all the love and hard work put into it. I already can't wait for the next one!!
one of the best videos i have seen. please do more
wild west trains continue!
Spanish Fork canyon gets so few trains that if you see one, you need to follow it. A far cry from the SP days. Today Echo canyon is the place to see action in Utah.
Excellent video and I really enjoyed the segment with the Utah Railway.
I love delay in block productions' videos
So do I. Awesome videos as always. Now about his live streaming...
By the way,your videos deserves a OSCAR.🤩🤩🤩🤩
FANTASTIC video, thank you so much for sharing. Congratulations on being the best train channel on YT.
I lived in Ogden for a couple years, I was too young to realize that I was living in the greatest railroad city in America...
Could you imagine living there in the 1950s?
Thanks for Part 3, & history being made !
😎👍👌
Great video, looking forward to seeing the complete track.
You sir deserve many more subscribers. Love your videos, great work!
Great camera work and editing! Thanks.
Beautiful film work, I love these. The 'snow' episode was perfect for this hot summer. Thanks.

Csx railcars,
The CACV in Milford, NY has an ALCo switcher numbered 3051 that also has an air whistle similar to that of Heber Valley's 1813.
Excellent video, again!
I used to remember seeing heavy Southern Pacific freight trains. Passing through Roseburg, Oregon from 1986 to 1996. Before Union Pacific railroad bought Southern Pacific and Rio Grande.
I started see S.P. trains in the 60's coming up from Medford area past Roseburg to Eugene. I live in Yoncalla and then Cottage Grove to 1992.
Yepp. Pulling those heavy loaded log trains and finished lumber trains
@@railroadwolf At that time there were no log trains it was lumber, chips and laminated beams. But from Cottage Grove to Eugene we did have logs from Georgia Pacific Corporation come down some track east of Cottage Grove to S P main line go north to Eugene in 50's to late 70's I remember.
Very informative and well-put-together video I grew up next to the tracks of what was then the New Haven Railroad (Metro-North) in Old Greenwich, Ct. as a kid that was like our playground. We would do some crazy things near the tracks my parent's house was a block away from the Electrolux Factory so we used to climb around on the boxcars at the spur to the factory. On a couple of occasions climbed aboard a boxcar and then released the air brakes and ride it down the spur to the factory (stupid kid stuff).
All your videos are great because of the informative narration which goes along with the video. While watching the video of the coal train in Utah I was thinking of all the folks who no longer have jobs because we are phasing out coal power. It has to be done due to the harm to our planet of global warming but unfortunately, every change affects or hurts someone. It was great to have a record of a historic coal train in action. Thanks, Chas.
Amazing footage! Looks like you had some great weather.
Incredible footage! Thanks for the work you put into capturing such awesome trains!
Ouch that was a rough coupling at 42:14, can you see it reverberating through the locos! Great video, many familiar locations :)
Thank you, thank you, greatfully for the road video, part of our great country on ly seen thru your time.
New to the channel, addicted to trains! beautiful images! Nice! Gustavo de Maceió - Brazil!
If you hadn’t told me that the audio was dubbed in for the Utah Railway chase I wouldn’t of noticed. Everything matched up to good.
Very impressed to see 11 units bring a unit coal train up the long steep grade; TS 50:55 to approx. 54:00.
Wow you guys have done what I want to do I have most of the research done on the old promontory branch but would love to travel like you have done. Nice job
Great, great, great! I like so much Nevada and Utah. With trains is better. But I missed more shots in eastern Nevada, like Elko, Wells, Arnald Loop and Carlin. Thanks from Brazil!
Very nice! Absolutely love the loaded coal train in the video!
Bought Can Creek Thompson to Potash, in Utah, Moab is on the route, where Indiana Jones and the last Crusade was filmed, the intro with River Phoenix, Union Pacific route yesterday..... Train sim world 2.....PS4 Xbox and PC...... unreal gaming experience
you guys don't mess around when it comes to train videos... amazing!!!
Thank you, that means a lot.
@@DelayInBlockProductions 🙂

@@DelayInBlockProductions Honestly, you guys are the Best things on you tube. Your hard work in shooting and editing is very well appreciated by many of us train lovers!
I Live in New York City and with your productions, can experience railroads in other regions. I usually play your work on my smart TV, and when the wife and kid are not around. I hook up my sound system. And your work sounds awesome! Keep up the good work for many of us train buffs your work is appreciated! You guys Rock!
Keep up the good work
This is a truly epic video, an amazing compilation, thank you so much! 🚂
UP for the win!
bellissimo video,,,complimenti
Omg I'm so excited!!
Very impressive!
Excellent video!
Fantastic Video by the way, the Cane Creek Sub is Awesome!
I live in a small town in Georgia the trains were all we had the railroad hauled pupwood
Drayton another awesome video!!
Great catch😍
Magnificent Footage. Such a shame that this was the last season to video these huge trains crossing these incredible vistas.
Hey dude I just subscribed to you I was the one that just said Hi to you I was in a dump truck cool man keep them video rolling
👍👍always🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸!!! Great videos Hugh effort and pain to obtain this video, my hat is off for your determination to bring this to us!!!
Man some of those UP engines have seen a lot of action. How do they get that dirty without anything thinking “hmm. Maybe this unit needs a bath break”
UP has a tendency to not wash older locomotives. To put it bluntly, if the unit is over 5 years old or it’s a heritage, they won’t wash it.
THANK YOU GREAT BEAUTY DETAIL VIDEO
i love this
Can't wait for Cane Creek to come out for TSW2
That's y I love trains man.. ❤
quality content!
The voice of the detector at 8:50 sounds almost exactly the same as the old D&H ones in PA.
Great video...
Another great video!
Too bad you are not having a video in the works for the Utah Transit Authority commuter Train. The FrontRunner... (would be cool)
On the Cane Creek Sub I wouldn't drive faster than 5 mph considering the dismal state of the tracks. 15 mph seems much too fast for me. - Anyway nice film, beautiful landscape, thank you.
Awesome video:):):)
I like train videos on UA-cam 👍
Its been awhile since ive heard the name "Morrison&Knudsen", they had a big shop in La grange Illinois re doing locomotives I remember seeing their brass nameplate when I worked for Conrail I n upstate N.Y. Selkirk to Newark NJ on the New Jersey Division
Making the coal cars built out of aluminum trimmed alot of weight off the train I can think ofanother car that would benifit the use of aluminum would be the the elephant in the room!, the grain hopper car. I gues their design prevented them from being chosen for the design
beingthe
culprit. I guess I should have Googled this to beind "fact checkrd" I get a " duhh" for not checking!!
That. Is how it sounded!
beautiful
amazing content, enjoyed the many locations. glad u were able to find some audio, that must have been unpleasant
Thanks so much for watching, that means a lot.
You should definitely record OTVR railway In Minnesota.
if you edit a comment the heart goes away automatically
@@gutter1 that’s kinda dumb
Hello from Michigan
Donner ain't shit unless it's snowing out. It stair steps, and really ain't that steep anyway. Double tracked and you rarely have to stop and start. Roseville guys are prima donnas.
Was that snow on front of the locomotive between 11',20" & 11',55", remember we were in Utah ?
🤔🤔😎🤠
pretty good video!!!!!!
More western railroading Drayton!
Utah railway has alot of emd 6 axle power
Drayton.... You had to include the 765 "The Hill" didn't you XD
]0 was all UP power), G & W sent the MK50-3s off to another one of their short lines in Kansas.
Nice Video
So did you go through the feather river canyon through greenville Quincy and portola because there is a spectacular spot between Quincy and portola called spring garden and Williams loop
I am way north of you but good footage
9:43 almost a shave and a haircut 😌
Excellent
Video
🌄🌄🇮🇳🌄🌄
Wait I’m confused BNSF train on Union Pacific
BNSF Lines go to Utah?
