    14:10 That little dog is very brave to be so close to the train.
    At least it waited patiently until it passed instead of taking a chance running under it😊

    Came here for Burlington Northern, but seeing the Milwaukee Road trains and the Canadian were a bonus. Color shots--let alone film!--of the Canadian in CPR livery at the Vancouver Waterfront is very, very rare.

    Thank you for sharing these videos, its great to see this era in living footage rather than photo collections.

    Boy do those vids bring bak the good old days from the 50"s thru the 80's. I worked the 70's till retirement July 31, 2018 & the 1st 25 saw a lot of changes mostly attributed to computers & deregulation which allowed the last 20 yrs 2 wish I'd picked a different occupation. It was not enjoyable or gratifying job then. When I started in 2972 it was a job that u were proud to say that u were a railroader,, but then the railroad turned into a business & they ran it like they wished they didn't need us anymore & there main goal was & is still 2 remove ALL or as many as they can employees from their company. This all started when they were deregulated. Change is necessary but the trail of humans u leave behind is sad. It's all about that mighty $ & that works both ways for both the employer & employee.

      In 100% agreement with Ted. Only things different are the dates. July 1978 till Feb 2019.

      Congrats to you both. Enjoy your retirement. 6/7ths of the way there myself, some days I wonder if I'll make it.

    Great video! I was a young kid when a lot of this power was running on the rails in the PNW, but it is good to see again.

    There’s something very authentic about the BN’s horns, half of them are fouled and the other half are very high pitched.

    I miss the Cascade green, I miss the EMD Fs the variety of freights, no boring unit trains, well I really miss my youth! The 70s were a good time in the NW for me.

      Here in the BNSF rail yard in Superior, Wisconsin there are a couple locomotives in their original Cascade green doing yard duties with the white diagonal stripes on their fronts. There is also a green caboose that is on the rear of small consists that go around the city 😊

    I say, the Milwaukee Road should be revived, all their electric lines reinstalled, and the first transcontinental Electric Railroad line established.

    This has to be fake or photoshopped/edited. There was no graffiti ANYWHERE!!? Not on the rail cars, street signs, building walls, bridges, basically anywhere spray paint could be applied 😂🤣 j/k. Great video though, thanks 👍
