Narrow Gauge Steam in Eastern Oregon!

The historic Sumpter Valley Railway is a three foot narrow gauge line that runs through the gold fields between Sumpter and McEwan Station in eastern Oregon. See a wood burning Heisler logging locomotive built in 1915 and 2-8-2 mikado number 19 pulling photo freights and passengers.
Watch how these amazing engines are steamed up!

I sure hope to visit this place someday. While I did visit Oregon this past summer, I mainly was around the coast/Portland area. If I ever do find myself back in Oregon, I'll surely pay this place a visit when 3 or 19 are operating.

Wow both of these steam locomotive look very cool and especially #3. I have a long love for steam trains and this in no exception. Keep up the great work.

I love these videos of scenic railroads! If you do visit California soon or later, maybe visit the poway midland railroad. It’s a very small narrow gauge railroad that I work at that goes around a park in poway called the old poway park. Home to engine number 3!

Steam trains are a hit with the public even people who were born after the steam era. Strasburg Rail Road in PA gets many visitors annually. Durango and Silverton and Cumbres and Toltec are popular narrow gauge tourist railroads with spectacular scenery. And kids love steam trains. Even though today’s kids only know about steam trains through stories told by older people.

Rode that train twice. I used to live two hours SE of Baker City near Ontario and Nyssa, Oregon.

Very kool 🚂😎👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

[@WJack97224]

Well done. I wonder what maintenance on the steam engines cost. Oh and then there is the cost of maintaining the railroad track/bead.

Was this a third party charter or was it the normal photo train they run?

[@7ideaproductions]

It was a special.

[@mattmattioda690]

They run one every fall. It is usually posted on the schedule on the website. Well worth the trip.
