I enjoyed that. I live in Baker City so I'm familiar with the route. I get to hear the trains as they pass through town. I don't get to get out railfanning as much as I'd like to, so having well produced videos like this is great. Thank you for producing and posting it.
7idea is the gold standard of railfan videos. Absolutely stellar coverage. I followed this line on my way out west to see the Portland & Western SD7/SD9s before they were retired in 2021. I didn't have time to railfan it - so I am grateful I can view your video here. Thank you for making it and sharing it with us! -Drayton
I'm a retired over the road truck driver, I'm very familiar with the part of the country this video is filmed in, I really appreciate the effort that goes into making videos like this and I wonder how many other retired drivers like me watch these videos ❤
What exciting railroading action from The Blue Mountains, y'all did great work filming the best scenes of eastern Oregon. This gets 10/10 in all railfans books. 👏👏👏👏👏😌😃😎💫⭐
3:16 Every journey over the OSL has to begin somewhere and that somewhere is here Hinkle this yard is the terminal for all trains in the Pacific Northwest. Hinkle is where three major lines meet the Spokane Portland and Seattle reached Hinkle in 1884 they interchange cars with BNSF at Walula Junction and the Walla Walla Railroad, the Oregon Trunk has a bridge over the freeway which goes past the former Boardman Power Plant and ties into the Oregon Trunk at Bend and has trackage right over BNSF to Chennault where it joins the Cascade Subdivision then we have the OR&N Mainline of the OSL The La Grande Sub and the Huntington Sub. Hinkle processes all the cars then they head east to Pocatello and Green River where they are blocked into their trains before terminating at Bailey Yard.
I've driven Snowcats in the area to get to communication sites. While it's implied, the fact that the track between LaGrande and Pendelton is either up or down. The 2 pct + grades are the rule for the area. While there are a few "flat" areas, they are rare.
It's sad how much traffic has dried up on this line. Even being within driving distance of it now, I have so many other places I want to visit that'd yield more trains, and that's sad, considering how much I loved the Video Rails 3-parter on the Blue Mountains growing up. I definitely have this queued for later, thanks a bunch for uploading your content to your channel!
I've seen a huge reduction in freight traffic between Oakland and Roseville too. It actually seems to extend to SLC. Most of it must be going south, then coming up the valley to the bay area.
@@Narpets2112 Yeah there's actually new-ish trains that head over Tehachapi out on the Sunset Route - it's...odd seeing that traffic pattern be replicated from when SP did it in the 90s, except then it was because they had single tracked part of Donner.
Man the wide angle shots, particularly in at the beginning this video, are a sight to behold. Like the combination of the bright yellow prime movers plus the geography in the fore and backgrounds is a killer combo here.
About a month ago I asked if you had anything from Hinkle to Nampa. This video delivered in a big way. Answered a few questions that I had. Scenery and trains were top shelf. Well done sir! I enjoyed it even more as my wife and her friend were out for the night at the local gambling emporium for supper, drinks and gambling. I was stuck at home with six cold Heineken 0 alchol beers and some of British Columbia"s finest buds that became legal in 2018. LOL! By the way the surround sound was working overtime.
I've been waiting for this one Part 2 of our OSL Series Part 1 was Albina Point to Hinkle and this time The Blues Hinkle to Huntington Yard. next time it will be Huntington to Nampa a week after that Nampa to King Hill and Ticeska then my area Bliss to Pocatello Yard fallowed by Pocatello to Granger. Always good to cover the OSL that is my home railroad.
I've noticed that UP mainly runs GE C45ACCTE (ES44) on the point and EMD SD70Ace behind, seems to be the typical lash-up. Apparently they have a little better cab ride than the EMD SD's.
In Sept. 2010, I got close to the same shot of the train coming into view from around the corner in the beginning of the Telocaset segment. It was the 844. I was a little closer to the track and filmed it all the way under the bridge. {The bridge I think you got your next shots from.} It was a great video, but my camera was nowhere near the quality of your video. That day we chased the train from LaGrande to Telocaset, sometimes hitting 95 mph on gravel roads to keep ahead of the train.

I agree! 7, Thornapple River,& DiB are the trifecta of these types of Railfan videos!
@@7ideaproductions Hay I Love Your Videos

In 1980, Grandpa and I hopped an Auto Rack Train from Union Jct. to La Grande ! Thank you for the memories!
You guys do a fantastic job on your videos. The run from Hinkle to LaGrande is one of my favorite rides!

Fabulous, being based in the UK I love to watch all your videos. Thanks for sharing!
Never in life could I sleep in a car but I'd pass out in seconds listening to this.
Another excellent production. Thank you.

Thanks for another great production. I love the run from Hinkle to La Grande.
Another great video I loved the camera position on the ground when the engines went bye the camera shaked you could feel the power
My poor camera (I think it was a Canon at the time) could not handle vibrations of any kind. that runby rocked its little world!
It's sad how much traffic has dried up on this line.

Yup PSR really did its damage up here in the PNW, sadly I don't think we will ever see the train counts like we used to.
Agreed, I think it might be because they're putting more stuff over the Overland route or a downturn of intermodal traffic/soda ash
Those Video Rails programs are excellent.
I've seen a huge reduction in freight traffic between Oakland and Roseville too. It actually seems to extend to SLC. Most of it must be going south, then coming up the valley to the bay area.

Your videos are amazing!!!! So crisp and clear and very well narrated!!! Thanks for sharing!
I know this area! Amtrak's Pioneer Zephyr used to run on this line until it was discontinued in 1997.
I've been waiting for this one Part 2 of our OSL Series Part 1 was Albina Point to Hinkle and this time The Blues Hinkle to Huntington Yard. next time it will be Huntington to Nampa a week after that Nampa to King Hill and Ticeska then my area Bliss to Pocatello Yard fallowed by Pocatello to Granger.

Simply fantastic
I really enjoy your videos; informative and entertaining 😊
Those union pacific sd9043mac units are so cool
Very cool video! UP is my fave! Beautiful!
You guys the undisputed kings of train videos!
Thanks for your efforts😊. It's an interesting video...
I wanna get out east so bad. Amazing vid as always!
Ahhh man, no footage of the Durkee Ash Grove cement plant 😕
Always nice to see former SP locomotives
Wow another one cool!!

My back yard!
I like train videos on RUclips 👍
Amazing mister
The slug for a diesel locomotive is a lot like a tender for a Steam Locomotive

You know back in the 1997 they made the union pacific sd9043macs and you seen one between the auto rack cars cause that's awesome dude
Fantastic scenery. Over how many seasons was this movie recorded?
F yes 🙌
Were you going to have a pt2 of the Kearney Sub between Grand Island and Omaha? And do you have a video between Seattle and Spokane?
A dirt train from Wendover utah to washington. Hmmm, don't they have dirt in washington?
55:57 What is that white thing in between the rails?
Looks like a piece of trash lol
@@AnontheGOAT I thought it look like a garbage bag too lol
Some crossings look like MoPac signals
to bad half these units in this video are either retired/rebuilt wrecked or scrapped
