ESPEE LIVES Part 2 KRAFT Switcher UP Amtrak and Toledo Hauler!

[@tomroise9426]

Great video Thx for showing the industries served. Too many videographers forget the switchers and cars they spot are the reason for freight railroads in the first place.

[@tomroise9426]

Love industry. Most videos don’t show or tell watchers where the cars are going and what’s in them. Keep up the good work.

[@pacificrailproductions5281]

I appreciate that!

[@unionpacificcascadesubdivi6477]

This is an awesome series! I appreciate all the operations detail. Helpful from a model railroad ops planning perspective. Cheers!

[@pacificrailproductions5281]

Much appreciated! That’s exactly my motivation.

[@johnfreeman1189]

Wow... Another great one! The work you put in is much appreciated. ✌

[@pacificrailproductions5281]

Thank you John!

[@Tandor69]

Great video! I usually see 1124 sitting in the Salem yard. Nice to see it out working

[@pacificrailproductions5281]

Thanks Mike! 1124 was due for FRA 92 day inspection the following day, so I was hastened to film it just in case it left!

[@johnclements8549]

These two part series videos were just spectacular! Being relatively new to Oregon your videos show me good railfan areas to safely view trains when we come to the Valley from the Coast.

[@pacificrailproductions5281]

Thanks for the good review John, and I enjoy the operational aspects! Glad it helps! Happy summer!

[@johnpetrovitz935]

Ditto all the comments! Another great video! Really do appreciate your efforts and thanks so much for sharing!!!!

[@mec2512]

Wow!!! You really nailed it with the Kraft local. Spectacular

[@dennisfrazier9896]

You do good vids Jeremy!!!

[@Noblemarq12]

I love anything Southern Pacific. broke my ankle two weeks ago, so not train watching, so I watch through you, keep up the awesome job your doing sir :-)

[@pacificrailproductions5281]

Sorry to hear about your ankle! But I’m glad you enjoyed the video! Thanks 🙏🏻

[@robertlloyd7167]

Yet more fantastic camera work! Your commentary is enjoyable and always informative as well. Being from Corvallis, and a huge fan of vintage EMD power, I always enjoy shots of the Toledo hauler. Those old girls are just as reliable as the day is long, and their lives aren't exactly easy. Pulling that crooked 2.6 percent grade out of Toledo is no joke! As an aside, any idea what the old concrete building was used for at Independence Highway? I've always thought it was an old steam power plant...

[@Kelso2003]

Just some cool Oregon trains

[@jc_mac712]

Great informative video of the Salem area jobs. Thanks for sharing, hoping you'll do one on the Salem switcher now! Plz....

[@pacificrailproductions5281]

Coming soon! Salem switcher coverage is the next local. Thank you!

[@TheGomes412]

Awesome work!

[@modeltrainsandtracks]

A great video , thank you. Loved the shot of the Hauler heading out over the trestle - a collection of shots at that location and the river bridge is likely a video in itself? In the last shot of the Hauler pulling away from Halsey ( I think, ~17.50 ) I loved the way you synchronised the FRED with the music, excellent!

[@pacificrailproductions5281]

Thanks! Yeah, that was fun how it turned out just right! Thanks for noticing!

[@tzrr-nsnyswmodellingmore2821]

awesome video yo!

[@ivanoffw]

The Toledo Hauler sure does have a lot more power on it these days. The UP's SP is in better condition than the ones the P&W have, I suppose that the UP has kept the newest locomotives.

[@portrail3305]

Loved it more like that and thank you

[@OregonRailfan216]

Nice video!
