The Toledo Hauler moves through Corvallis, Oregon

[@Natalie-xm9rn]

I went to OSU from 2016-2021. I rode my bike everywhere, class, gym, library, work, store, covered bridge, Avery park; and partied too much and tried to figure out life. The pandemic shut everything down in March, 2019. I remember leaving the lab where I worked at Nash hall and I wouldn’t be back for two years when everything changed. I had to move back home to Portland after graduation. Life went from “normal” to what it is now, which feels very not normal and I often can’t make sense of it; and/or the only reasons that make sense are usually ugly or hurtful. Life has been hard on my heart. I just woke up to a train going by. It was so loud and clear. When I was in the library at OSU the train horns would echo around the ceiling of the the ‘rotunda,’ a tall round room and it sounded like music. I love this train, I lived on 8th street and I would run 2 blocks down Van Buren to watch it go by the police station and be amazed at how large it was. It rattled the windows and I could hear it go all the way through town until I couldn’t keep up with it and it would rattle on just like the end of the video. Thank you for posting this video 9 years ago I’m so glad I found that beauty again.

Dude, that's awesome video taken from your bike! I love the shot of the front-end unit coming through Bailey Junction, and it's cool the hogger was so mindful of the horns' making excessive noise. I live in Corvallis and enjoy the P&W movements every chance I get.

Decades ago (in the middle part of the previous century!) I was a student at OSU and lived in Cauthorn Hall. Across a large empty field were the tracks where the Toledo Hauler ran nd I'd watch it go by from time to time! Was it steam powered then?? I just don't remember!
