  • This is one of our first productions from 2009. Union Pacific trains rolling through the incredibly scenic Feather River Canyon from Oroville to Portola, California.
    While on location in the spring and summer of 2009, the Feather River Canyon was busy with a nearly constant parade of stack trains in addition to auto racks and manifest trains. The following year would see a significant reduction of traffic after UP re-routed their intoermodal trains over nearby Donner Pass.
    In addition to the UP, BNSF trackage rights trains also use the line as part of their Inside Gateway route, adding to th evariety of trains. We will visit one of the most recognized railroad landmarks in the world: the famous Keddie Wye suspended above the canyon. See the Western Pacific Railroad Museum in Portola and the UP 844 steam locomotive making a special appearance.
    This program is also available on DVD, Blu-ray, and Vimeo On Demand by visiting 7ideaproductions.com. www.7ideaproductions.com/prod...

    I've been to Oroville and played my guitars in Feather Falls Casino many MANY times in the 12 years my band played . . . now it's a joyful memory hearing you mention the Feather River. It's very beautiful up there as well!

    I grew up in the Mts of W.Va. in the 40 and 50 and was able to see all the steam trains. Now I can enjoy u tube and all the long trains . There are several things I dont understand. BNSF and the #.of the different engins. I do enjoy watching the trains and counting the cars. Thanks for the videos I stay up late at night.

    Such a beautiful place. Thanks for the video. I still have a piece of serpentine from serpentine canyon from an old visit back when it was still Western Pacific. ( Serpentine is a greenish slick rock made of magnesium silicate. It has a waxy greasy feel to it.)

    • @bigd510

      Serpentine is also the state rock of California. Serpentine canyon is a huge formation of serpentine.

    always good quality. My favorite part who else #844 herself. Reminds me of my childhood. I use to watch #844 on Thomas each week and my favorite scene was in the credits of #844 going through Feather River Canyon between Tunnel 18 and Honeymoon Tunnels and the scene at the end where she rolls across the northern California plains into Portola. Play the song City of New Orleans in the background, grab some food and you got a chase to relive my memories. Thank You 7 Idea this was a good video.

    Superb vids. Very informative and a great insight to railway operations in amazing scenery. I still don't understand the signals but the loops lengths and how they operate make an excellent watch. Filmed in HD and in some remote locations, amazing. From a UK Freight Train Driver.

Perhaps the artists will see 👀their creations on this presentation -???😲. Enjoying this presentation from the comfort zone of my computer room. Along the " Space Coast " 🚀 of Florida 🐊🐊.

    When i was younger during the Western Pacific days i jumped a train at the Keddie Wye and knew by the switch it is a northbound that is coming and it was a scenic trip to Klamath Falls, Oregon, i jumped in a box car that had hobos in it, they were kind of intimidated by me as they can tell I'm just a weekend adventurer but they got use to me, i was going to walk into town and find a hotel but i stayed in a boxcar for the night even thou i was running out of food, i was only carrying chips and candy with me and a few drinks. The next morning jumped a southbound train, and it was going to fast to jump off at the Keddie Wye so down the canyon i went, i spent the night in Orville, CA at a rescue mission with the hobos and really felt out of place so had dinner than breakfast then jumped another train in morning, this one was a west bound and going to fast to jump off so did the Williams Loop then got off in Portola where it stopped then hitch hiked back to Quincy where i was going to Feather River College at the time, great adventure, the only time i jumped a train!

    You love of trains and videography sure makes for a great combination - You had mentioned in the Donner Pass video that double stack trains were no longer allowed thru the Feather River, instead being routed along the Donner Pass route, but here they are going up the Feather River Canyon. What did I misinterpret?
