Thanks Nick. I was there, then, so this brings back some memories. Thanks for the Vancouver, WA footage. I spent many hours there in the 60's and 70's.
What a treat to see railroading in the '70's. I lived next to the Milwaukee Road Chehalis sub from 1974 to 1983. My grandma lived in Yelm and I remember looking down her street to the other side of the highway to watch BN covered wagons, GP9's and even switchers run on the Prairie Line.
That Milwaukee Bellingham footage is very rare. Good stuff.
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😊
😂
That dog is smarter than some humans
God do I miss the Burlington Northern!
I miss the SP&S. ALCO's, especially.
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.
I live 20min from Bellingham, great to see some old footage!
There’s something very authentic about the BN’s horns, half of them are fouled and the other half are very high pitched.
I bet they sounded better than they do on film
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.
Frantastic stuff thanks for sharing it!
Thank you for sharing these videos, its great to see this era in living footage rather than photo collections.
Cool video and channel just subscribed
That was a Great video on showing what the railroading is in the great North Western USA and I really like that video a lot that would be my favorite video of the North Western Railroading
If only Pentrex could get a hold of this!
2 of the BN freights had C&S (Colorado & Southern) units leading.
Great video thank you!
Awesome
Fantastic footage 👍 thank you for sharing this. Great era. Cheers from Australia 🇦🇺

These images and sounds footage bring back so many memories. I grew up with the Burlington Northern right in front of my house in White Rock, BC. Thank you so much for this. What is that odd looking vehicle in 21:19?
I worked in many of those places and mainlines, I’m currently working on both the Stampede and Yakima Valley Subs between the Stampede Wye and SP&S Jct, I have worked on the Seattle Sub between King St and Vancouver, WA and the Scenic sub, Bellingham Sub, the former Milwaukee Lynden branch, Cherry Pt, Sumas Sub, Woodinville branch, Prairie Line, Columbia River Sub, Lakeside Sub and Fallbridge Sub, I worked out of Interbay for a couple of years (2009-2010) and Tacoma for a short time in 2014.
Is “Stampede Wye” what they call the wye at Auburn?
Yes, this is where the west end of the Stampede Subdivision starts. @@gregalanharper
Love the GN blue box cars
Great video
Great old footage, thanks for sharing this!👍🏼
Amazing footage .... I loved it!!! Thank You for sharing this
I say, the Milwaukee Road should be revived, all their electric lines reinstalled, and the first transcontinental Electric Railroad line established.
Hard to believe I ride the Empire Builder that has the same cars shown on this film. Considering that, they’re actually in decent shape!
All those fallen flags. Wasn't laser focused attention but of all the roads seen only Amtrak, the Borg and Borg North 1 & 2 are still around.
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.
There’s a charm about old 8 mil. Film.
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 😊
geez that is some dirty locos
11:45 is that BN 2223 or 2222?

WHAT! NO GRAFFITI!
Nice to see trains without the spray painted scribblings of urban degenerates.
Calm down!
You must be fun at parties
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 👍
