WOW!! Glad you put this up for historical reference. It is saved to watch for all time now! GREAT JOB!!! I wish I had made the trip here. I was in the area in 1991 but had been on the road for a couple of weeks with the MRS and she was getting tired of train chasing so this one didn t get done with us. THANKS FOR DOING IT FOR ME...ALL THESE YEARS LATER!!!! 2023

There are, shockingly, not that many videos of this awe inspiring "railroad on stilts." I have seen only two other videos of when BN still owned/ran the line

Ran that several times on NARCOA runs led by Jim Morefield, a great guy! Worked that line, knew everything about it.

Great angles! The cabooses give away the age of these videos. :) It still amazes me how these wooden trestles can support the weight of the trains crossing them.

I have been over Half Moon on my railbike several times. It's sad now, the condition of the line; tunnels collapsing, rock slides, one trestle burned. It's passing into history.

It was/is some of the most spectacular trackage in the US. With fires to trestles and dwindling traffic, it is a shadow of its former self. Thank for sharing!

I was happy I got a chance to shoot video before they quit running.

I see the "big" cars are interspersed with the older "small" ones .. is that a weight restriction thing?

Okay, I can tell the first unit in BN 2874, can anyone tell what the middle unit and the GP50's road # is?

This was in the mid 90's. Don't remember the actual year.

Looks almost identical to Goat Canyon trestle in CA.

@@Beltfedshooters ya Half Moon and Goat Canyon look similar. This one has much better surroundings though
