The Long Grade | Union Pacific's Cascade Line | Part 1
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 14 июн 2024
- Taken from our 2015 release "Through the Oregon Cascades Part 1," follow UP trains as they depart Oregon's scenic Willamette Valley at Eugene, and enter the foothills of the Cascade Range.
The Cascade Mountains of western Oregon are thick with tall timber growing along steep slopes broken by waterfalls and streams. This is the setting for a mountain railroad that climbs from deep within the Willamette Valley to nearly 5,000 feet above sea level at Cascade Summit.
Part 1: The Long Grade, begins at Eugene Yard and heads railroad south into the foothills of the Cascades. A forty mile 1.8% grade between Oakridge and Cascade Summit puts UP’s newest locomotives to the test and keeps train crews on their toes. The line wraps around horse shoe curves, crosses trestles, and disappears through numerous rock sheds and tunnels before reaching the top of the pass.

Worked a 12 hour shift today. Cracked open a brewski and enjoyed this latest video on my 4K HDR pj + 100inch screen. Oh ya brother!
I watched both parts on 75 inch and felt like I should be soaked from the rain and snow. Very special.
@@drkskyes.nnbhhhh😮😮5
It's always a treat to see some local railroads. Props to you guys for hiking out to the remote sections of track to get footage
I love the cascades, the air is so refreshing.
Just found this channel. Subscribed!! My Dad worked that line from 1946-1986. We we’re living in Klamath Falls. He use to bring home beautiful Christmas trees on the Caboose from sidings up on the mountain ❤ we lived next to the tracks off the highway and went he would go out and come in we would wave the railroad lantern he had at home, and he would wave his. Great childhood memories 🥰
That's an awesome story! Thanks for sharing.
"DO'OH!!" The video ended right at the part that I was waiting for!
In 2018, I camped at O'dell Lake for the first time. In the middle of the night, I was awakened by the sound of a train horn. I didn't know that there were tracks nearby.
It's amazing how the forested mountains can make a train horn sound like a perfectly tuned symphony!🎵
These videos from 7idea Productions are of documentary quality, and I can't wait for part 2!! I ❤ the Cascades!😁👍
That's a cool story Steve. And the second part is coming right?
I agree there is nothing like the horn drifting through the forest. Part 2 will be out Friday.
Thanks for watching and leaving a comment!
I rode Amtrak 14 from SAC to EUG . AMAZING SCENIC View's. Never would get old everyday riding that route.
I used to work in these areas. I'm a little surprised you didn't get me on video. 😁
Great job! I'm looking forward to part 2.
You knocked this one out of the park. Beautiful scenery, well filmed and professionally narrated. Can't wait for part two.
Years ago I recall taping these episodes on VHS. They were the best of the best, and It is so great to see them again on RUclips. Thanks much to 7idea Productions for sharing these special treats!
FANtastic video!🙂🙂🙂
Wonderful video !
A great video! Enjoy it very much.
Another amazing channel who films in this area is I think @Pacific Rail Productions. He does a lot of good work up here 👍👌😎🇺🇲
Great addition to the video of the rail scraping procedure, something most of us will never witness.
thanks for your great videos, greetings from austria👍
The sound is superb, I recommend headphones!
Another amazing upload, thank you so much!!! Watching from Pahrump Nevada 🇺🇲
Hello Pahrump! Been through there a few times.
@@7ideaproductions I wish we had trains out here lol only got the UP in Las Vegas that I get to see for my train fix 😂 lol
I thoroughly enjoyed watching these incredible trains passing through beautiful countryside.
Thank you.
great video!
Another awesome video of a gorgeous area. I especially love seeing Coast Starlight’s 11 and 14 since I have done them both many times.
Thank you! Yes it is a great ride.
@@7ideaproductions I also meant to say how much I love seeing the rail grinder. You’re right, it looks like something out of an apocalyptic future.
I was sound asleep on the Empire Builder one night and woke up to strange sounds, and bright light bleeding in around the curtains of my roommette. Half asleep, I pulled the curtain aside to see some kind of train straight out of Hell and it was right next to us.
It was moving slow and it looked like the whole thing was ablaze with sparks and fire and smoke and noise. I didn’t know about rail grinders then and I had no idea what I was looking at. It was a very surreal Dante’s infernoesque sight to see. The next morning it almost seemed like a dream, or maybe a nightmare, lol.
Thank you again for all these videos.
Hate to sound repetitive but FANTASTIC work again as always. That had to be sketchy going up in those woods with bears, bigfeet, and mountain lions possibly around every corner
Thank you! I don't know about bigfoot, but I've seen cougar.
They exist but their solitary creatures
Another great one man. Thank you
I remember the first cascade subdivision part one and part two DVDs I remember seeing part 2 that featured a Dash 8 locomotive a flame off the stack as well as a glimpse of P32 number 509 leading the northbound Coast Starlight in phase 4 Striping
Yes those were my first DVD programs from 2006. Originally released separately, then later I combined them into a two disc set.
@@7ideaproductions wow that is very cool
Stunning photography that captures the wild yet wonderful scenery of the Cascades.
I would have loved to see a picture of Salmon Creek waterfall in the winter.
I love the cascades, the air is so refreshing.. Another amazing upload, thank you so much!!! Watching from Pahrump Nevada .
Great video I love the scenery and the description and details you provide
Thank you!
Agree. Good with the descriptions when following along on Google Maps. Found the Lookout sidings and the tunnels. Lucky I found 7idea Productions. 😀👍
This is incredible. Thank you so much for posting it.
Watching from Jamaica 🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲
Great video. The scenery on this line is really extraordinary. The shot through the covered bridge opening was special.
An outstanding job! Nicely done!
Thank you for making this video, I loved it
Absolutely amazing!
Excellent video graphy.!¡Thank you for sharing it 😊😁😁😁😎😎😎😄😄😀
Wow another train video.
Maybe, just maybe a smart person who doesn't like trains,might not get on a train video site. Just an idea.
Man you really put down the work for these videos I thank you for them there great video's...👍👍👍
I'll bet that there have been and still are some amazing Bigfoot sightings along this route. Gracias por tu video. RT sends, envía, Colonia Centro Histórico, Puebla, México...
Probably the best railroad video I've ever watched. My dad worked on the SP Signal Gang all over this line in the first 5 years of the 1940s. He bid on the Signal Maintainer job at Glendale on the Siskyou Line in 1946, got it and never left until he retired in 1979. He and my mom lived in an Outfit Car at all of these sidings from Springfield to Cascade Summit and Crescent Lake.
Awesome video 7idea Productions. Yall are the best for railfanning. Can ya try Hutchinson KS? Lotsa UP and BNSF action
My heart is pounding when I hear the engine of the train.🇰🇷👍
Awesome train compilation!!
Thank you!
Excelent video from Argentina
Back in 2001, I was working in a small design studio located in the east end of the Eugene Amtrak station. I got used to all kinds of trains running literally 6-8 feet away. One day, I hear this awful grinding sound coming from the tracks. I look out the window to see that rail grinder slowly passing by in all its flaming, sparking glory. As I'd not known such a contraption existed, I had no idea what I was looking at. Between the fire and smoke, it looked like a train straight out of Hell. lol
Any chance you'll one day cover the Siskiyou Line?
Thank you very much!
Can you do the full video of “coal trains of the powder River basin” please?
Interesting/informative/entertaining. Excellent photography job enabling viewers to better understand what the orator is describing. Enjoying this presentation from the comfort of my computer room. Along the " Space Coast "🚀of Florida 🐊🐊. Wishing viewers/R.R. Employees a safe/healthy/prosperous (2024)🌈🎉😉. Locations maps added to the information.
You did not mention that those cabins is now a Bat Homes hence the upper windows .
Good Videos♥️👏🏾👍🏾
I like train videos on RUclips 👍
The Oregon Eastern mentioned did not build the old grade up the Willamette R. That was further north on a different river. This one was SP built. The Army built the new grade across the lake, when the dams were put in.
Is that what I said? I'll have to go back and look.
@@7ideaproductions well I think so, but my wife tells me I don’t listen very well.
@@7ideaproductions tell me if I was wrong.
Maybe it was Oregon Pacific I heard. Now I don’t know!
@@johnnyjones2255as I understand it, the Oregon Eastern built the line from Natron to Oakridge in 1912. The plan was to build over the Cascades and on to Ontario in eastern Oregon to meet the UP. This never happened. Later, the SP (being separated from the UP - both had been controlled by EH Harriman) finished the line over the mountains and on to Kirk in 1926. There is a lot more to the story but that is the jest of it.
You guys really need to do some of the lines out East.. would like to see that.
We got the Clinchfield Loops in North Carolina, lots of tunnels in the Appalachians, and some fast running areas.
Muy bien y buen vídeo, gracias
Another awesome video Aaron! Yes, I'm still kicking. Mark Lestico is moving to Tennessee soon. Just retired. April and I miss you and Joel. Is he still working the Brooklyn Sub? Great memories. God bless you and your family.
Top notch!
As good as it gets.
DPU, i see you
I absolutely love all of your productions. How do you find out what model number engine is used?
35:44 I seen the lumber in the white an green raper
Divorce Courts got you by the Balls.
u gotta make a decision better fuel milage but risk getting stuck on a hill or worse milage but able to make it up the grade and if all six axels have power its less stress on the 4 with power
