ALBANY SERIES Part 3 WP Hauler and Albany Hauler Arrive in Albany

[@dale5898]

Love the night shots. Thanks for your hard work.

[@mec2512]

Great series Jeremy. I very much enjoy and appreciate your work

[@dale5898]

Puyallup is a town like that,Ten at grade crossings ,so constant whistling. Oh and there where over sixty trains a day. Too bad beautiful town. Great views of Mount Rainier.

[@chrisrabbitt]

As always thank you mate, your videos are invaluable to us modellers, especially those of us who live overseas

[@pacificrailproductions5281]

Glad you like them! Where are you from? Thanks for sharing; and what is your scale and theme?

[@chrisrabbitt]

@@pacificrailproductions5281 I would be lost without them mate and I'm an Australian, so a bit far just to pop over for a quick visit. I'm a N scaler Proto-freelancing the Portland & Western (more proto than freelance) so without your videos mate, I wouldn't be even close to where I'm at now with most of my locomotives and rollingstock sorted and correct for the area. Again, Thank you very much mate and keep the videos coming! If I had to pick one place that isn't here to live, it would be the Willamette Valley!

[@camachinist]

Sick night work, thanks. Gives a completely different perspective. Those wooden trestles always amaze me; the engineering and strength of wood. Quintessential Oregon!

[@robertlloyd7167]

Jeremy, the night shots are fantastic! A few years ago I was fortunate to catch the hauler coming into downtown Albany just at daybreak and paced the locomotives down Water Street. The street narrows at the north end to the point I could reach out my truck's window and touch the locomotives while squeezing past parked cars. Lol.

[@pacificrailproductions5281]

Yeah, that line is just about all nocturnal-tough to get good video; also the OE yard is very secluded and inaccessible. But it’s a great place to find a train; Water St has a lot of character.

[@robertlloyd7167]

Yes it does, a true throwback to the old days of freight and passenger stops in every town along the line. Just super cool. Thanks again for all your time and effort, Jeremy!@@pacificrailproductions5281

[@michaelthayer643]

Thanks for sharing.

[@jjtaylor714]

Enjoyed the research you did for this. Ready to see me again in part 5!

[@pacificrailproductions5281]

I’m gonna have it out soon. I’ve got another series I debuted today, but I’ve still got several videos left in the Albany series. Thanks for the comment!

[@jjtaylor714]

I think i remember honking for you out near 34th when we were leaving albany (wp hauler) hopefully that makes the vid lol

[@pacificrailproductions5281]

@@jjtaylor714 Yes it will! That will be included in the next Albany Series vid with the return trips. Hey, thanks for reaching out! Great name too! Jeremy’s are cool!;)

[@pacificrailproductions5281]

Hey Jeremy, I saw you tonight at Eugene. I was the conductor on the Weyerhaeuser waiting for you to get to 305 track. Hope you have a good night.

[@jjtaylor714]

@pacificrailproductions5281 hey thanks! Too bad i didn't get to say hi, im sure ill bump into you again. You always on the Weyerhaeuser?

[@DrifterSam]

8:13 I go to there all the time and I never once in my 17 years of living have seen a train on those tracks until this video popped up. A few times I walked across the bridge and wondered why the tracks were even there. I could tell they were in use because of how shiny the rails were but I still hadn't seen a train. Despite my research on it I could never find a video of a train rolling through. Now I realize they come at night.

[@pacificrailproductions5281]

Thank you Sam; I am glad you shared! It’s too bad that it’s only in darkness that trains are seen here-crazy that in all that time, you never got to see one!

[@DrifterSam]

Yeah, I'm also the same one who told you about when me and my friends hopped the Westsider. I changed my username

[@Blk_GT8]

I really appreciate that you’re taking the time to create this series. I model the PWRR but can’t get out there to see the railroad (I live in the Midwest) so videos like this are very insightful.

[@pacificrailproductions5281]

That makes me even happier I put it out there! Thanks a lot for telling me! And I’m glad to hear you’re modeling the railroad as well!

[@Ottos_ScLm_Race_videos_2009_on]

Wow, been a few year since I have seen the Oregon Duck chip car and the DARE car also. I'm waiting for Albany to the Tigard yard and what goes west at 10:30pm to 1:30am From the Tigard yard I hear it Some times Monday. But mostly Tuesday, and Thursdays. The honking, I hear is not Hall Blvd by the yard. But on the Beaverton side of HWY 99 in Tigard. I hear it at 3 or 4 crossings then it's gone for 2 or 3 hours then I hear it coming back. Someone did a video of the W & P going from Hillsboro "Y" to the tunnel then on the other side. I google mapped it there are some mice trestles on the other side.

[@pacificrailproductions5281]

I’d like to get that way. I’ve tried a couple times to only get a power move. The north side is much more unpredictable/ complex and irregular. But I’m hoping to get some great locations up there yet. Portland traffic is fun as well.

[@Oregontrailblazin]

Train says wake up bus people .

[@royzug2847]

I have commented previously on the quality of your videos and let me say again that I think your videos are really first class. The night work in this one is exceptional. One question I have for you is why are some of the lumber loads covered and some not?

[@pacificrailproductions5281]

Wow, thank you! So, it seems that at any shipper loading multiple lumber loads some/none/or all can be covered. I have never heard why; however, I do know that it is likely a stipulation of whatever buyer is receiving that particular carload likely has made in their contract with the mill. Some grades of lumber perhaps need extra protection against the elements, but I don’t think that’s it exclusively. I believe some buyers simply want to ensure their load is extra protected, and they likely pay extra for that. Good question!

[@serk7947]

I WILL ACCEPT THIS ONLY!!!!

[@pacificrailproductions5281]

Curious what you mean?

[@Oregontrailblazin]

Yeah !

[@joecarlson6428]

Very nice night shots. There is a lot more rail traffic than I expected. What do the tank cars carry? Is more UP traffic go east/west than north/south?

[@pacificrailproductions5281]

Hi Joe; there are several different customers shipping by tank car, however, most seem to be for an ex-GP chemical plant now called Bakelite which makes resins. I’m not sure what they carry…I also see some long tanks that appear to be non-placarded, meaning they don’t carry hazardous materials which is new to me. I’d need to find out about those, and the little ones that carry some sort of agricultural product for Harrisburg. I could ask a FB group what they carry, because I’ve never seen the paperwork for those cars I’m not sure. But as far as UP traffic, yes more goes east west.

[@dale5898]

Those houses close to the tracks are probably section 8 housing. Low income. Look out for needles!

[@Oregontrailblazin]

Sorry would not live there tracks front yard.

[@Oregontrailblazin]

And past my bedroom wall good grief

[@aramcartozian6084]

LOL It's not that bad. I lived next the UP main line in NE Portland for a few years.

[@camachinist]

I actually looked for property in the forest with track frontage. Sadly most of the right of ways are abandoned or unused now. I get how people would be annoyed by the noise though. Decades in a machine shop kinda numbed me to it.

[@Sillyturner]

I live just across the street from the Union Pacific Sedalia sub in central Missouri. Love those trains going by up to twenty a day plus four Amtrak a day. Can even sleep through the night traffic even though we’re seventy yards from a crossing. Some engineers are real courteous with there horns at night and others are real happy horn honkers.
