I have been up and down that stretch of I-5 many times and have seen the tracks, but never any trains. This is a great video to show what the line typically carries and get a good sense of the terrain it goes through. Thanks for the many hours and trips it took to capture the video and share it with us.

You’re welcome! I enjoy getting out to find the trains…because like you; in so many years, I’d never seen one here either! It’s definitely a labor of love:)

the first train was mostly empties go back to the mills to get new loads of lumber and plywood. another well done video with beautiful countryside and an interesting history Thanks

I believe the tank car is their water car. A nozzle on the side will spray water to help with fire control along the RoW. I’ve seen other videos with it in-use

Really enjoy your videos, in fact I have played them while working on my model railroad, love how you capture the sounds without music. Your commentary is very good. Keep up the great work.

Just fantastic, Jeremy! I didn't think there could be a steeper, more crooked mainline than P&W's Toledo Branch, but here we are! And shoot, I didn't even realize the Siskiyou line had re-opened after the fire damage to one of the tunnels years ago, so this is a real treat. Thanks so much for all the time you sacrifice to make these videos, Jeremy. I'm looking forward to the next installment!

This is such a beautiful railroad. The scenery is so very dry these days, though. I realize it's winter/spring and that the deciduous trees lack leaves, but there are a lot of dead ones in this vid, too.
@pacificrailproductions52813 ай бұрын
The leaves would have blocked the view at my favorite spot where the tracks are close to each other above and below. Also I forgot to mention, during the summer and fall months the train runs at night.

I noticed that there is still alot of un-welded rail. Is this due to the revenue not fully there?

The route since the final decades of SP control has been secondary and even mothballed at times. The traffic hasn’t risen up. So you’re right. With more traffic would come those upgrades.
