HD Amtrak Cascades at Portland Union Station

[@PutthiDara]

As a kid I would go on trips with my family to Vancouver WA to visit family and we always take Amtrak cascades.

[@user-cu9kz5ec8o]

Nice catch of the cascades navigating that crossover! I already miss this train dearly

[@GoldenRailsMedia]

the horn sounds amazing!

[@Northeast_trains]

sure does

[@Northeast_Rail_guy]

I agree!

[@DardanellesBy108]

I love PDX Union Station and the train ride from PDX-SEA is gorgeous. Nice video!

[@MagictrainsOrg]

Crazy drivers! :) But very interesting passenger cars and train! Excellent video!

[@blazingwisp]

ow... haven't seen this type of amtrak before.. it's so awesome!

[@pwalpar]

Very good video Ervan, I dont think Ive seen this train before

[@HOTRAILProductions]

Love this video. That F40 control car looks awesome!

[@decline2state]

I kind of liked seeing the MAX light-rail train in the background. The Cascades goes slow for several miles because it first runs across the Steel Bridge, then takes a sharp turn before running through southeast Portland, where it crosses a street every block or so. To go any faster would require the (prohibitively expensive) construction of a new dedicated track on a new right-of-way.

[@TolgaEastCoast]

Great video and excellent quality Ervan.

[@TheDylanJoyce]

Such a beautiful Vehicle the Cascades is...

[@TERRYExpresS]

very nice video Ervans

[@moonwalker5058]

Nice to see that NPCU on the lead. Great video as well!

[@taviyo]

Never been ther but this just makes me want to to there even more.

[@lulocaltrem]

great video

[@JulieAV]

Nice catch of the TriMet Max train in the background.. Siemens LRV Type 2 or 3s They look the same on the outside.

[@dwkcamman611]

Very Nice!!!

[@LDE2100EGM]

It looks interesting, thumbs up for this video !

[@adventuresofamtrakcascades301]

I didn't know why but every time I see your video about Amtrak Cascades, it always reminds me of Trimet Max trains like IDK why

[@ErvansTrains]

@NS9746 Thank you

[@piktrains]

Nice video!

[@ErvansTrains]

@tjw1963 Thanks Teresa, It is another engine. I just got back from a long trip to California. I heard you were in Forbes from racing16. I just finished reading it, great to see.

[@ErvansTrains]

@robmasterman Thanks Bob, a lot of the coaches are that high on other runs.

[@ErvansTrains]

@oldmilker Thanks, I'm always happy to get comments

[@evilempirewoman]

It's nice 2 c that Ptld Or didn't tear down their Union Station unlike Ptld ME did in the '60's

[@ThePPPTrainAndCarFan]

I was at Portland Union station on June 9th this year

[@ErvansTrains]

@PonyPower71 Thanks, for the comment

[@billhaley1868]

Ahh, downtown Portland, Ore! My old stomping grounds!

[@TheNWClassA1218]

Epic!!!!!

[@peterandben]

That F40 looks awesome leading, powered or not. Then the genisis comes in and ruins it! Great video

[@ErvansTrains]

@pwalpar Thanks Walter, this is a new one

[@decline2state]

Crochet Geek @tjw1963 I made a typo and should have put, Was the car at the end of the train another engine or a funny caboose? ____________ The vehicle at the very end of the train was the only engine. The vehicle immediately ahead of it was the baggage car. The vehicle at the front was an NPCU--Non-Powered Cab Unit--which has a control stand but little else, as it's not needed to move the train.

[@JonathanTuom]

Nice video,did you get a chance to check out the Navy ships at the Rose Festival?

[@robmasterman]

Another superb video Ervan, Why are the locomotives so high compared with the coaching stock? The articulated bogeys on the coaches was also interesting to see....Bob

[@thedrbearmd]

i couaght this one in salem after u did lol funny stuff

[@ErvansTrains]

@Traincal007 Thanks

[@CoasterFan2105]

How long ago did they start leading with the NPCU's faced south?

[@ErvansTrains]

@TheDylanJoyce Yes it is

[@ErvansTrains]

@otis656 This is a old track that goes through the city over a lot on streets

[@Baureihe1031]

Hi ! What a small Talgotrain, i have a Monstertalgo ( Smile ) Best wishes from Berlin Thomas

[@ErvansTrains]

@brickbuilder711 Thanks

[@PonyPower71]

I see that sucker sitting across from my apartment here in Eugene. I guess it gets cleaned and restocked here.

[@trainguy3]

Do the big attachments on the end do anything, or are they just special connectors?

[@ErvansTrains]

@GhostFearMe Thanks

[@ErvansTrains]

@AbbaTheHut Canon Vixia HG20

[@atlanticcoastexpress]

Great video - thank you. The articulated (lightweight?) coaches don't look anywhere near as tough as the locomotives though! Have you ridden on the train? I've always wanted to do the run between Portland and Vancouver in British Columbia, but England where I live is too far away and fares are very expensive! Thanks for being there to film the train - makes up for me not being able to come to see it myself.

[@frederikteglhus]

whats the idea of the coashes high roof in each end?

[@ErvansTrains]

@whiskey1951 Thanks

[@superjesse645]

I never liked how the Cascades trains mostly use genesis units in phase 5 colors instead of the original F59s. You think they'd at least paint a few genesis units in Cascades colors to retain consistency.

[@HotShotDesigns3D]

I know I’m late. But the chargers might fit the gap of yours

[@oldmilker]

hope you dont get tired of my comments but i just want you to know that i love your videos

[@Traincal007]

Nice

[@onetuliptree]

Amtrack is not as fun to ride since they got rid of open windows in the cars, but it's still great to look at and listen to! Thanks for the video!

[@adventuresofamtrakcascades301]

How would you suppose to expect open windows in Talgo cars like these?

[@golden210285]

genial no sabia que habia vagones como estos que comparten un truck para dos carros, y dime si es correcto solo tiene dos acopladores todo el tren justo en los vagones detras de cada locomotora? excelente video captaste al fondo un tren suburbano o un metro? saludos!

[@ErvansTrains]

@chris40539 Thanks

[@lulocaltrem]

what is this nice horn? is it a nathan p5 or leslie?

[@Traincal007]

Ervans have you ever fimed CP rail

[@csxtrainfan319]

Not too many E Bells like those are in my area

[@chefjavier]

How long it take the train to reach Seattle?

[@afrazier792]

I wish I was on Amtrak Cascade...

[@henrymartyn3117]

How come they don't use the Talgo power units? Or are they electric? Amtrak should buy the other two train sets and spare cars,then electrify the line from Vancouver to Eugene.

[@oregonwesternrailroadprodu5239]

I think so to

[@easternroutemainlinevideos6823]

90251s K5 sounds like it came off a P42DC

[@AirchimeLTDproductions174]

It's very possible but the tonality of that K5 is so antique it might very well be 80s or 90s. My guess is Early-90s or Squaretag.

[@easternroutemainlinevideos6823]

Interesting

[@ErvansTrains]

@wsuraifan No, I didn't get up for that

[@FanOfthePADRES411]

that sounds almost like surfliner cab car 6905!

[@ErvansTrains]

@frederikteglhus I think so can go both ways

[@HartlepoolFC2016]

Is this Portland in MA?

[@dansnydar8709]

Wish Amtrak had Business Class on the long distance trains, such as Coast Starlight. Bedroom space is limited, and when I travel last minute, I'll fly before I go straight coach. I travel alone, and having to sit next to a stranger between Seattle and Los Angeles isn't gonna happen! If Amtrak would wall off the last half of the last coach with large biz class seating, I would give it a try, and pay more for the semi-privacy. I wouldn't expect the same complimentary meals as sleeper class. Perhaps just a coffee card would do. A single traveler in coach is subject to being moved around to accommodate couples and families. A first class coach section would be well received, I believe.

[@jmream2618]

why did they remove the strobes lights from cascades F40PH roof

[@stephaniealvarez3417]

Q quit

[@cirno_the_ice_fairy_stk]

The first car is a locomotive without engine !

[@TheJramos1970]

wow!

[@sodiumvapor13]

90250 has the best K5LA IMO

[@easternroutemainlinevideos6823]

nice K5LA. 90340 sounds better :3

[@6800andr]

Сигнал офигенный!

[@coolleo149]

There’s 197 right before it was the big game train and got into a wreck with the truck :(

[@jmream2618]

is 197 a p40 or p42

[@Wii_Cheat]

Jmream2 Jmream: P42

[@lego4555]

is is important

[@DFWTrains]

I saw it

[@andrewsk8rsolomon]

[@Traincal007]

Ervans come to Canada and then you can rimed CP rail

[@ErvansTrains]
