little did the railroad company known as Port Of Tillamook Bay Railroad knew, just 2 months later, a horrifying and almost almost deadly storm would put POTB to rest forever.

This is so surreal. One of the last times these canyon walls and forests will hear the distinctive sounds of SD9s working hard pulling heavy trains over the Coast Range. No one knew it at the time but, just a few weeks later, everything would change. The peaceful Salmonberry River would become a raging torrent sending water and debris into trestles like battering rams and washing out large sections of track and roadbed. This is truly an historic piece of footage.

This is 1 of the best Australian train videos ever.

*soot!*

2:17 Crossing Wolf Creek Trestle. Heading eastbound up the steep grade toward the summit at Cochran.

Next time I get out there, we're going after this stuff

How far into the Nehalem Valley did this track run?

Wow beautiful gotta love nature look's so dam peaceful kinda setting id love to visit hell live in

Thank u for the ride

Took a lot of photos at hynman and fair hope years ago.

That’s a BNSF manifest with MRL helpers.

I can remember when the old Milwaukee came through St Maries on its way up to Avery. At Avery the electrified branch into Montana began. Great memories!!

Love the caboose.

48ers. You can't kill em with a stick :-) Not sure how the NSW railways would have ever got by without them.

Too bad such a large section of that historic wood trestle had to be replaced. I forget what happened. Did it burn or something? That old caboose I think is one of 4 or 5 bought brand new by Weyerhauser in 1981. They were originally assigned to their Chehalis Western operation, working around Curtis, Vail and the former Milwaukee Road Chehalis Sub running log trains into Tacoma. That operation ceased operation in 1992.

That is crazy, all the diesel smoke

11 power units. Were those about 7,000 horsepower each?. I don't know.

You got it . Now thats how you run a railroad !

Damn, the crew would be seasick by the time they reached the mill!

RIP POTB

That was a pretty good video I like it

Great video! Where is Part 2 of this video? I found parts 1 and 3.

So..... where's part 2??

More please! Awesome smoke

I love the Salmonberry river canyon and I loved the Port of Tillamook Bay trains

I watched a video of a guy walking this line now . It was sad how much damage has happened up there !

The 4th of July weekend the steam train ran from Garibaldi to Rockaway Beach it's only 5 miles .It's better than nothing .

adding flavor to the coal!!

Thank you! Since Covid hit I’ve had more time to work on my model railroad and I can always use more Weyerhaeuser affiliated footage! Great video!

On the side of the Salmonberry there's a lot of sunken grade. Some of the tracks are floating after the banks washed away.

Nice ride! Thanks for sharing! I love the Maryland Midland

Pure filth, in every sense of the word.

so thats where godzilla lives?

That grass must be thick in the summer

This video makes me so sad every time I watch it ☹

Nice Window Ride.

So much good noise out of three little units.

Spectacular! Love the black smoke being blown from the traction motors....

THANK YOU FOR DETAIL VIDEO ON REAL OPERATION

2019 update. maintained but not in use to clarkia. clarkia to bovill still abandoned. only train is from St Maries to plummer and back.

What gives here. One says it is reborn and the other says the line is gone.

Hi

Iam coughing and I am not there

@ 2:27 is that the bridge that was washed out?

Rollin some coal

please go faster! hint: you can use nitrous for a fast boost but watch your meter!

Wow, I've never seen anything like that. They need to install a exhaust fan on top of the hill!

That is beautiful, what a loss.

Amazing Footage with some Serous Smoke!!

I like to listen to this with my headphones in. Listening to the battle between machine and nature, it’s awesome after the mid-train units pass the pace quicken and the battle changes brakes are squealing and gravity is a calling. Awesome video
