When I was a kid in the 1940's, I lived in Roberts and went to school there which was just east of the tracks. I could hear the trains from my grandpas farm. I have loved them every since. thanks for the memories.
I don't think people got the true message of this video. It's about equality, justice, integrity and most of all: being yourself. The train isn't afraid of the past, and is bravely moving forward to the future. From this video, I learned how to really get my life "back on track". Thank you, Ervans Trains!
I am a 65 yr. old female who never happened to run across a train video before. I loved it, takes me back to beging a child and hoping we would have to wait for a train on the racks on the way to town. At 720 the sound is good. Real trains 60 years ago sounded like the original sound.
Its an amazing video... starts silent with birds chirping in the background!.. then comes the drama... all settles down, and you can hear the birds chirping again... really amazing!
Also, the second and third locomotives do say "Portland & Western". You can see it clearly at 0:43 and 0:44 if you pause it at the exact right moment. The first locomotive says "Willamette & Pacific" and you can see it best at around 0:35 to 0:38.
great video. It just shows that just like trucks: without railroads, america stops. its important that transportaion is vital in keeping our economy rolling. Good job.
It seems like a lot of short line rails are wearing those same colors for example the TP&W Genesee and Wyoming CF&W just to name a few good catch on the train!!
I hope you're not talking about the W&P insignia on the front of the locomotive. That says Willamette & Pacific, you can see it in the video clear as day, thanks to the HD format. Still like the video, nice quality, great camera work.
i'm glad I don't live in america but in belgium because the horns of the trains would drive me crazy. in belgium we don't have that kind of trains and they never sound the horn at a railroad crossing.
Depends on the engine themselves. Like with the Dash 9 BNSF ones they can haul three times its own weight, each engine acts as a support the train main engine. Like they could control the train from the other engines if the main one fails.
Oh, ok, I don't know much about reporting marks and their specific meanings. That sounds understandable where the mix up would happen for those who do know. I was only talking about the insignia's on the trains themselves as being P&W and W&P. That is an interesting bit of info, it's almost like a TV station's call letters, each one is different and individual to that station(or in this case, railroad company). I learned something today, thank you. (no sarcasm)
@twowheelaction It's one of my first videos. The sound was great when I uploaded it, but then RU-vid made some changes with their software and 30 of my top videos have bad sound some of the time, not all the time. I would lose Millions of views if I deleted them also I still get over 10,000 views a day on those videos
Who Else Remembers The Version of This Video With Really Glitchy Audio? (And We Had To Click The Link In The Description That Redirects Us To This Video So We Can Enjoy It)
When you look at it that way, it's a bit excessive, but sometimes the railways have strange rules for freight trains, and indeed most other trains. I think it's just a case of 'country codes' - in Australia it might only have to sound the horn once but they just have a different rule for it in Oregon. Over here in Scotland they don't have to do either unless there's a whistle post (which is very rare).
This is a 'local' train that runs on jointed rails which are older type, so they have to go slower than most American trains that run on the main lines that run on welded rails...
2. Work on gradually zooming in and out. You'll wait until the train is way to close in view, then shotgun your zoom out. You'll find that the video will flow better overall if you more gradually zoom out as the train is coming towards you. Again, you have some good stuff, but those two right there will go leaps and bounds in helping to make them even better. Cheers!
