On the day that I was born I never imagined this happened while I was at the hospital 😢

boy oh boy, those days are long gone. i use to ride the train to grizdale with the step dad.

Does anyone know if this is the RR bridge just north of the Cougar Smith Rd? Or the bridge near the Kelley Rd? The area is now referred to as the Schafer Grade. Looking for info on both bridges for a project. TIA!

All overgrown and out of use now.

Hello, do you have a footage from vance creek bridge??

The whistle on 480 in this video is the whistle on 473 today

Arrival schedule in AM

nice video. Why is that place called the Bonneville cut? i've heard that term used for that area just wondering why it's called that?

A heavy logging train being hauled by Mount Emily Lumber Co. Shay #1.

5 would make a perfect addition to run a railroad somewhere in Texas in the future!

Guys the railroad returned

This would make a great shelf layout 👍

How far down Meacham Creek? Or up? I've never seen this bridge.

1:32 A TUNNEL MOTOR 🤯

Do you have any footage north of belfair from this time period?

This pacing video is sick

I miss the Cascade green

What is fec 404 doing in Washington state? The blue locomotive is fec 404 as a kid growing up into adult hood in southeast Florida and being a railfan you could say that I grew up with that locomotive.

Cascade green, a caboose and a Seattle North coast box car there then but gone now. Too bad.

Dragging slowly is right! Mebe 5 MPH?

Gone! Did you know, seeing that bridge, the trees grew up along the side, and a man took a piss and fell 30 feet. Yow!! David Paul Buben..Lead Man, Dispatcher. Simpson railroad. Logger, Cowboy, Railroader. Thank you Joel. I really miss those boys. Men among men really. We did suffer, some. Just a job to us. That's gotta be Daddyo in the trailing engine. He could work that horn like a musical instrument.

Nice I used to drive railway crew up to the siding. I retired last year. Great run.

You are a lucky man! Love your videos.

This is a great video. I love this cab ride ! 😁

4:24 - "Just the good ole boys...YEEEEEHAH!"

Great video of the Shelton turn running on the steep grade in Shelton Wn.

Perfect capturing of an important RR operation ! I'm 'like' # 23

0:14 WOW !! This is gonna be smokin !! 1:07 Yikes ! This looks flimsy and scary..But I know it's more solid below that it appears...3:37 Wow, we're goin to the end of the pier to cross over !!

16:11 Yikes ! You can really sense that tonnage, along with the curvature adding drag !!!... Is all this still in operation here in June 2022 ? This is about the most complete switching vid I've ever seen !....This'd be something to model; with the murky water, bridges and all..24:15 They goin' fer beans ? This is one great bitchin' switchin' display...Goin' over to the 'log train' vid....

DAVE-STICKEY_JERRY- look so young

Hey. Can I please use some of your footage in my films? I will credit you for it.

Is this rail service still being used today? Thanks for the video. Enjoyed it!

Did business drop off that much that caused it to shut down or did management, due to lack of maintenance close it. Any chance it could be restarted.

We used to farm near Reardan. Left home when this track was still ruled by Burlington Northern. Crossed the tracks at Hite every Sunday for years on our way to church when I was a youngster. They dumped alot of money into this branch in the early 1990's, had a few sizeable derailments over the next couple of years then after BNSF merger, pawned it off to WATCO. A really unique line with a history of survival. Not so profitable due to seasonal traffic but highly valued by local farmers and the state in keeping grain on the rails and not on highways. Glad I found this video.

This video testifies that, when once these machines were regarded less against the priority of keeping the industries moving, nowadays they are truly the stars of the show getting the recognition they long deserved. Regards, Samuel Farris.

anb740 0 seconds ago I learned on my first visit out there in 2003, that it’s impossible to legally chase/pace a train on the Washington side. I matched a westbound’s speed once at 67mph. Finally had to back off and let it go

Headed west out of town. Sadly it doesn't run anymore. Those were good days when the morning train was my alarm clock.

Just in time route setting :)

The train was hauling a 988 log stacker from Shelton out to Dayton when it hit some low power lines in Shelton which tore out many power lines.

I worked at mill 5 loading lumber until June 15 2015 the day Mill 5 closed.

I hope you make good money. This is definitely scary when metal sits on wood. 😱

That sure is a bumpy ride. Why can't the engineer just go around the potholes?

Yard man should be wearing a hard hat then again one of those logs hitting you would turn you into PULP !!!

Whistle in the climax is from Curtiss Lumber 2. A two truck Heisler

Cool,just bought this log loader crane from Walthers, nice modeling vid.Good to see the colors to use to paint the crane.Thanks,interesting.
