CENTRAL OREGON & PACIFIC Medford Job on the Roseburg Sub

[@Joeyshobbygarage]

Atlas just announced an n scale P&W locomotive. (Providence & Worcester) Might have to pick it up as the closest thing to our local P&W loco. Love the vids, it’s like railfanning with you while I’m at work!

I've never met with a train that I didn't appreciate. I HAD to realize that I couldn't stop trains. I grew up in a city of about 60,000 and waited on trains to pass often, and back then it seemed like a half-hour or more. I knew the trains brought much of what we needed, so I learned that they were necessary and good, and I grew up to enjoy them early on. Such amazing huge machines, so much power! At 65, it still is something to marvel at. Roll on, Jeremy!

Paul, thanks man!

[@Alex_filmz_stuff]

@@pacificrailproductions5281hey man do you know what days they run down Medford?

[@Ottos_ScLm_Race_videos_2009_on]

These rail's look like the ones SP put down in the 60's. I lived in I should say I grew up in Cottage Grove. In the 60's 70's into the 80's we had 3 sometimes 4 trains loaded going north to Eugene and 3 or 4 trains going south with empty cars. Most had around 100 cars.

[@pacificrailproductions5281]

There are many less active lumber mills now. But I’m sure it was pretty cool to see so many trains back then behind the SP engines!

[@66zebulon]

I remember when there were a good number of semaphores on this line. Fantastic to watch!

[@NutmegRail]

PW 4301 & 4302 are a long way from home, wow! Nice video!

[@jacksonwhittier3646]

I could be wrong but I'm pretty sure CORP bought them and just didn't both changing the logo, same thing with the ex CSX locos instead of repainting them they just patched CORP over the old CSX logo.

[@kimburgess993]

Another great video! I'm planning on going to Corvallis next week for Winterail, so this comes at the perfect time. Thanks.

[@pacificrailproductions5281]

I’m glad you mentioned that! It’s just up the road, I should try to get there if UP let’s me

[@railfansammy4974]

nice the front engine is rare because they hardly have any sd70aces and the corp 4677 is also rare

[@bhproductions1061]

Wish the, M-2’s were still on the B&P

[@yakimarailfan3275]

So cool to see signals still working on this line with jointed rail! Was this line the old SP line that went into Northern California?

[@pacificrailproductions5281]

Yes it is!

[@apaapason3925]

Great video - thanks !

[@NorthBay43]

SD70m-2

[@adensrailfanningproductions]

I Belive i saw one of these loco's When i went to eugene recently

[@adensrailfanningproductions]

I actually i believe i saw both

[@Ottos_ScLm_Race_videos_2009_on]

So how is Cottage Grove not on the map.?.

[@pacificrailproductions5281]

Good question. I guess there aren’t any active shippers in the city?

[@tommyhunter1817]

Lot of power for 32 cars.

[@pacificrailproductions5281]

You’re right! But just 2 miles down the line, they picked up another 50+ cars.

[@66zebulon]

@@pacificrailproductions5281 Isn't the power to get all the way up Rice Hill? That's probably a pretty heavy lift

[@pacificrailproductions5281]

@@66zebulon you’re right! It’s a steep climb of 1.8%. That matches the grade going up the cascades on the Natron cutoff.

[@jacksonwhittier3646]

I could be wrong but I read they bought these engines to offset the borrowed power from UP, and on occasion they still borrow UP engines if these need servicing!

[@marioxerxescastelancastro8019]

5:25 There is a wrecked car here.

[@jmm2000]

Are those SD70M-2s ex- Norfolk Southern locomotives?

[@pacificrailproductions5281]

No they were originally Providence & Worcester engines in the Red Brown and White scheme before G&W took over.

[@SBRstudios]

Could you tell me the schedule for trains to run on this branch if there is one? I have family in cottage grove and I want to know when the trains pass through.

[@pacificrailproductions5281]

I know trains go south in the morning and north in the evening through cottage grove. The weekends don’t have trains as I understand it. Not sure if it’s one or two days they don’t run.

[@TheGomes412]

Are those two Providence & Worcester locos on the bookends?

[@pacificrailproductions5281]

Yes they are. They fit in nice out west!

[@Noblemarq12]

Does that line go over Willamette pass, outta Roseburg? I can't remember.

[@pacificrailproductions5281]

The siskiyou line follows I-5 and doesn’t cross Willamette Pass. Just rolling coastal mountains until it gets to the Siskiyous. .

[@Noblemarq12]

@@pacificrailproductions5281 Oh i thought I saw it went over that way, Thanks for letting me know that

[@michaelgallagher2663]

Do Yourself A Favor…Us Too. Just Show The WHOLE TRAIN ONCE!!! Then Show The Various Locations And Operations. I Love Trains. I Don’t Like Watching The Whole Consist All The Time.

[@pacificrailproductions5281]

Yeah. I’m getting better, learning. I won’t show the whole thing every time
