R 2.0 - Idaho Northern & Pacific Railroad - Joseph Branch

[@Funnyfarmlife715]

Amazing video! I worked this branch for 3 years. It’s awesome to see the branch from the air. Great work!

[@joeymatsumoto9177]

Very nice production! Keep it up! I recently drove through this area and caught a glimpse of the red locomotives and wondered what their story was. Now I know!

[@kenkemzura903]

Well done video. Very informative. My hats off to short lines like these that keep branch lines viable.

[@SIDETRACKEDCHANNEL]

Thank you sir. Indeed from thousands of shortlines to several major players there has been a return to shortlines on many of branches that would otherwise lie abandoned.

[@nicblaze6428]

You’re productions are extremely good, thank you so much for putting this together !

[@SIDETRACKEDCHANNEL]

I’m glad you are enjoying them. Many more in the edit room.

[@hankevans3663]

I live in Union Oregon, I have chased that train around many times, and explore the line up to Joseph many times.. super cool history out here

[@SIDETRACKEDCHANNEL]

For sure. We will be out there again in the future.

[@hankevans3663]

@@SIDETRACKEDCHANNEL there's a couple historical railroads out here like Sumpter valley railroad that still operates.. Union railroad of Oregon, which still has maybe a mile, mile1/2 of rails left and the old Depot.... Big Creek & Telocaset Railroad, most of it's gone but there's still some rail and rail ties left… rails dating back to 1883.. lot of cool stuff out here

[@SIDETRACKEDCHANNEL]

Some are on our list to look into. Hoping to start our second series later this year time willing.

[@TheBeeMan1994]

Ah so you’ve chased us? That’s pretty neat, I’m always looking for people who chase us to get some pictures from them.

[@freighttrainsahpassing9790]

Awesome shots throughout, I especially liked the map at the beginning, and love the red engine !!!

[@SIDETRACKEDCHANNEL]

Thank you sir. The weather really made that little red engine pop in the footage which adds to the visuals.

[@treasurevalleytrainwatching]

I've filmed the Idaho side many times and explored the TML but have yet to get out to the Joseph branch, your videography is AMAZING.

[@daveinidaho7970]

Great video and narration. Have family in the area and lived near here for several years.

[@SIDETRACKEDCHANNEL]

Thank you sir

[@snagletoothscott3729]

8:35 Been watching trains for over 40 years now and i can't remember ever seeing a locomotive jump like that while trying to get a train started.

[@TheBeeMan1994]

We move a lot of cars with cusion drawbars and many times we end up with ones with blown out cusion devices so it hits pretty hard when the slack runs out on one of them.

[@adtion1]

Fantastic video, cool branch line

[@SIDETRACKEDCHANNEL]

Thank you sir

[@minnesotarailfan11]

Great video I wish I saw this sooner amazing 10/10

[@rickdee67]

Excellent video! I really enjoy watching Train videos and this format is ideal! Wonderful footage!

[@pacificrailproductions5281]

Terrific video! Maybe the best I’ve seen from amateur filmers! I’m sure you could sell products if you keep producing these! Lovely and informative; also great operations coverage! Thank you!

[@SIDETRACKEDCHANNEL]

Thank you for the comment sir. I have several in production will more planned over the years.

[@cnoonan321]

Well done video. Very enjoyable.

[@tupolev792]

Awesome! great camera/drone work and voiceovers! You should really consider checking out the Idaho portion of the company too!

[@SIDETRACKEDCHANNEL]

Hoping to next year

5:17 Though they weren't an every day sight, i did see INP in the green and cream color paint scheme, which i like more than the red one. I used to live in Payette ID that had the UP main line and a INP branch line that started in Payette ID went through Emmet ID to Cascade ID which i stopped seeing INP trains once they sold the line. The long section of track leading to Cascade, i forget what they called it, something rocky mountain which was abandoned some years later which my parents got to ride the last train through.

[@SIDETRACKEDCHANNEL]

The red does feel a bit generic. Recently the Columbia and Walla Walla bought two of the older units and brought them back to life in Washington so there is a chance to see them running once again now. The branch from Payette still runs to Emmett. Just not beyond there which was the Thunder Mountain Railroad. Thank you for sharing your memories.

[@TheJesterboy1969]

Well done! Great narration as well.

[@SIDETRACKEDCHANNEL]

Thank you.

[@stuartadamsrailfanningvideos]

Hey my name is at the end of this 😁

Well you did help after all. 😎

[@brucejensen1779]

Very nice 👍

[@BigBoyCarlos]

Very nice production any plans on heading into Idaho and visiting the Boise Valley Railroad?

[@SIDETRACKEDCHANNEL]

Thank you sir. I am looking into Idaho. Starting to find contacts and do the initial research. the BVRR is one I am looking at. If you have any information please do email us at [e-mail]

[@Greatdome99]

'Slough' is pronounced 'sloo.' Wallowa rhymes with 'Allow-a' not Aloha.

[@SIDETRACKEDCHANNEL]

Yeah, I was raised all over so my pronunciations are a bit different. Something I’m working on.

[@kenmartin9227]

What is the former heritage of the diesels?

[@SIDETRACKEDCHANNEL]

Mosty Grand Trunk Western with one a Central Vermont unit then GTW.
