Into the Feather River Canyon
Вставка
- Опубліковано 11 чер 2024
- 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 gotta say I really appreciate you guys releasing these films for all to see at no cost, these videos always make my Fridays
YYYYYEEEEESSSSS!!!! Another amazing video upload 👏👍👏 Thank you, Watching from Pahrump Nevada 🇺🇲
Having seen this production on RFD-TV, seeing that I can watch this on UA-cam makes me so happy. I love watching this channel and the shows. Some incredible work is done here
I remember growing up with this program. Since I lived near the WP trackage I’ve always loved the feather river route
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!
2873 was really cool! (Dave).
Thanks for the refresher ride!! (dont tell my hubby I know what he got me for xmas . a train horn on a impact tool ! shhh)
I’m so thankful you released this!! I used to watch it as a kid - I loved trains (and still do) and would binge watch this and other productions you’ve made almost every day 😅 This was my childhood, thank you so much for this, I love it!
This is one of the most amazing things i ever watched
This whole area is so beautiful. Another outstanding video!
This is definitely the foamer division.
As a kid I remember watching this one on TV and getting upset when they'd only show an hour of this production for the time slot😂 Awesome production as always man!
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.
So great, that place has some beautiful scenery! I really enjoyed this one.
Hey man, I remember watching your videos as a kid and still do to this day. :)
Been waiting for this one with baited breath.
awesome work,really enjoyed,we what videos in late 80s and 90s building our O Scale Railroad and were very inspired and useful films for helping to achieve Model railroad Scenes,we are completing last part of WP and SP Binney Junction Railroad in Yuba City built Keddie Wye in O scale also done finishing the Highline bridge this video production helped us to do finishing touches,great work wish I could share pictures but if I put any information will delete my comment.
I own Custom Model Railroad Company and been building model railroads over
30 years and Our Custom 55x35 of Historic WP and SP is very Unique.

Love your Awesome and inspiring videos ❤❤❤❤❤
very nice😀
Wow wow great vidieo thank you ❤❤😅
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.
Thanks, again great picture.
One of the best on you tube keep up the great work
Thanks, the engine ride was the best.
Thanks for sharing these beautiful videos! The landscape is totally unbelievable! LOVE THE UNION PACIFIC!!!!
Beautiful scenery graceful trains
Well done. Thanks.
Thats awesome guys. Very well done. Can ya do a full video on the Blue mountains and the gateway sub?
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.)
Serpentine is also the state rock of California. Serpentine canyon is a huge formation of serpentine.
Fantastic video and scenery!
Love this videos.
great video sir ❤❤❤❤
Very cool presentation there, have a wonderful weekend! (Dave).
I like train videos on UA-cam 👍
Been here many times when my son was younger. We drove from Sacramento to the Keddie Y. We even went to the Portola museum a couple of times
Interesting/informative/entertaining. Excellent photography job enabling viewers to better understand what the orator is describing. Noticed graffiti art work on the box & tanker cars. 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 🐊🐊. Wishing viewers/R.R. Employees a safe/healthy/prosperous ( 2024 )🌈🎉😉.
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.
WoW! I've never seen a train with 12 engines.
J'ai la furieuse impression que la qualité s'améliore
I would love to ride through this area on a train.
( P.S. ) the " Singing Break Men " Jimmy Rogers was a genuine break men till changing careers for a singing entertainer 🎸🎶. ( 1926 thru 1933 ) classic recording " Break Man's Blues ".😭.
I worked there back n 1984 ,3 years in da canyon too hot n summer time
Yes it cooks there in the summer.
Awesome vid, pls do the CPKC from Kamloops to field BC
no
very interesting video, maybe also about some canyons or interesting routes in Canada?
I live close to this in Paradise Ca.
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?
This was shot a year before the Donner Pass video.
27:43 POV: we arent seeing those diesels roll by, they're _MOVING_ the Earth beneath them.
A very impressive video with wonderful scenery. I have a question for you - how is the positioning of DPU units determined?
Noted two representatives of former roads going into Tunnel 32 around the 1 hour 3 minute mark: Milwaukee Road and Southern Pacific.
It doesn't make sense the head end crew waitng didn't secure the front door to 8335
Given that the UP now sends all its traffic over Donner Pass, is the Feather River route used by anyone?
Hi you gay do a great job on the train videos
Wish your company could video Our custom WP and SP Binney Junction O Scale 55x35 Historic,with the Main Scene Keddie Wye custom scene!
Best regards

Can anyone recommend some motels to stay near the Feather Canyon area?
Nice job. But all those ads are annoying. I sure hope you're getting your cut.
I prefer to be true to myself, even at the hazard of incurring the ridicule of others, rather than to be false, and to incur my own abhorrence.
Hate to say this. But i can't watch your videos. I like watching these trains thru the mountains and beautiful areas. But you talk to much !!
very nice😀
