Nice one Jeremy! That was fun to watch. I do enjoy your narrations.

[@pacificrailproductions5281]

Thanks my friend!

[@johnfreeman1189]

Fantastic work. Two thumbs up. Thanks for sharing!

[@trainsafeeccentricswithben2984]

Great Job. The last train destined for Barnes was a soda ash train. A Branes yard job will spot the loads and then Longshoreman switch the cars to load the ocean vessel. Pre pandemic I was hired to train the longshoreman on how to operate the Lokey and switch cars. Good job until the Covid shut us down. Went back last year and trained the walking bosses.

Ben you really get around man! Seen a lot of stuff! Sounds like we just barely didn’t overlap times at Eugene. I got there Jan 04.

[@vdivanov]

Just… stunning landscapes leaving one breathless! And yeah, the trains are neat too. 🤓 No DPUs in the middle, only at the rear. 🤔 This is my favorite newly found rail channel.

[@pacificrailproductions5281]

That’s awesome to hear friend! Thank you for those very encouraging words! Hope to see you again in the comment section!

[@johnclements8549]

Just an outstanding series! Thanks again for just superb rail photography and video!!

[@pacificrailproductions5281]

Much appreciated John! It was a very fun trip😁

[@nancyannirvin4507]

There is just something about the sound of a train horn as it passes by. Even though I have lived, for 36 years, a block from the tracks between two crossings I still love the sound. Loved the series. Saw things I have not seen for 20 years or more. It was nice. Thank you!

[@pacificrailproductions5281]

Thank you! I’m glad you shared! 🙏🏻

[@wafflesnfalafel1]

wonderful vid sir, thx - those night shots at JOSO are spectacular. Agree with you on the luck thing, might not be your day but you'll never know unless you get out there and try.

[@pacificrailproductions5281]

Absolutely! Thank you very much for the comment!

The empty UP train in the Gorge is a empty soda ash train from the Port of Portland's Terminal 4

[@aramcartozian6084]

I road the Oregon Trunk a couple of times down to Bend. My friend had a friend that worked for BNSF, back then it was just BN, so we hop them in Wishram.

[@pacificrailproductions5281]

That would be a fantastic trip

[@mec2512]

Good timing with the BNSF train coming out of the tunnel there. I've never been able to catch one there

[@pacificrailproductions5281]

Super unbelievably lucky! I had never seen a train there before. 10 seconds later, I’d have been past it!

[@mec2512]

@@pacificrailproductions5281 It always seems to happen when you least expect it

[@Snowtruckdriver]

Celilo is Island of green on the riverbank

[@66zebulon]

Thanks for all of the roadway segments, as well as the railroad ones. I also liked the way you interspersed some historical scenes where the telegraph poles were strung along the UP's Columbia River Gorge line. Most of those have now been taken down, I think.

[@pacificrailproductions5281]

Yes they are disappearing gradually. I always liked them since as a kid, they helped me find the tracks.

[@Snowtruckdriver]

MT grain cars in that scene going back to Wyoming

[@kellenmatthews1440]

Why is it part of a 10 mile up connection to the great north western railway

Great job on the 5 part series, living here in Camas, WA we have seen some of the places you visited but many more that we knew nothing about. The music intermixed with the videos make it all the better. My wife is a bit a raillfan as well, but we both loved the Coming Home to Oregon part in the gorge. We have always loved this country since we moved here some 44 years ago from the east coast. I have two questions if you have time. When a train is "tied down" do they actually set brakes on some of the cars manually? I also am curious what type of camera equipment you are using for your videos. Thanks and keep up the good work!

[@pacificrailproductions5281]

Many thanks to you! I’m a musician as well, so I enjoy the dimension it adds. I’m always happy to hear feedback! Trains tied down require hand brakes enough manually applied on the freight cars to hold the entire train. Once a release test is complete, the locomotive’s hand brakes then get tied. As far as equipment, I’m pretty simple-I use my iPhone 13 ProMax camera and occasionally a tripod. I edit with an app called VLLO. It’s really quite basic and easy and portable! I dream of a drone one day…maybe a higher quality camera as well. But the kids at home have my finances pretty well “tied up” for now:)

[@kellenmatthews1440]

5:00 what is the name of that railroad and what part of Oregon is it located in

[@pacificrailproductions5281]

At 5:00 that is the line to Lewiston Idaho. This location is in southeast Washington. This is part of a 10 mile UP connection to the Great Northwest Railway.
