This video is a compilation of footage that I captured around the month of February in 2021 of different trains and railroad lines in Oregon's Willamette Valley.
Since I live in Eugene at the South end of the Willamette Valley this is kind of like my front yard. All of these scenes are within a couple hours or closer.
This video features trains from the Union Pacific, Portland & Western, Albany & Eastern, Amtrak, and Coos Bay Rail Line. It also includes a BNSF train and some Canadian foreign power.
These scenes were filmed with the professional DJI Inspire 2 drone and the DJI Osmo Action.

14:15 and 16:38 - I get a good laugh at the lift span of the old bridge. Originally intended for tall boats and ships to be able to navigate under the bridge when raised, it is now spanning an island in the middle of the river.

Great work as usual. Thanks! These days I'm kinda trapped on the Oregon coast. The only catches I get are the local tourist trains. And the one good thing there is the rare/ancient power. I come here to see great videos of normal trains. :)

Thanks! I'm actually planning to get over to the Oregon Coast Scenic in a few weeks to film that GN F7!

@@TheRailfanDan Great! Only thing is after this weekend they close down until later in May. Which is fine, but I think they might be getting the steam locomotive back out at thst point. Which is also fun but also gets old after the 20th time seeing it. I live a ways south of there but maybe we can say hi when you're here.

It seems that Genesee & Wyoming are on a buying spree on power units. This past weekend Apr. 3th while on HWY 20 between Sugar Town aka Sweet Home and Lebanon, looked like Albany and Eastern had a ex CSX unit at one of the sawmills for switching.

Dan, thanks for putting this video of your February 2021 recordings in the Willamette River Valley. The trains and the scenery were beautiful. It looked like one of the Union Pacific trains had a number of scale test cars on the end of its train. Keep the videos coming!

@TheRailfanDan 3 года назад

Thanks Thomas! Sometimes working on editing these videos is difficult because the editing isn't my favorite part and this one was particularly hard to work through because the material isn't so exciting to me personally but I knew in the end it would all be well received and so I stuck with it with that in mind.

@thomasmackowiak 3 года назад

@@TheRailfanDan I am glad that you worked through the editing of this video. Your hard work was worth it as far as I am concerned. Thanks again for everything that you do in flying the drone and taking the ground views of the trains and then editing the drone and ground footage to present to us!!

@billbloggss 3 года назад

The drone really came into its own in this video Dan - a very pretty part of the world. Is Oregon always this wet? Some of the paddocks looked well and truly water logged. At 7.30 the umbrellas & tents I'm assuming belong to homeless people but hardly the ideal spot to pitch camp - the noise must be deafening in the middle of the night. At 19.45 how would a BNSF loco come to be the lead on a UP Sub and manifest train? I can only imagine they are the fiercest of competitors. Thoroughly enjoyed!

I like the videos from the mountains, beautiful valleys and great landscapes more. I find the flatlands a bit boring, there is just the same thing to see ...

I would say the Willamette Valley is a beautiful valley. I enjoy mountains and canyon's more as well but the perks of this are the multitude and variety of trains. Plus I've got to have variety to my channel you know?

Always interesting that W&P became P&W Western and Pacific to Portland and Western. I have Google mapped the tracks on satellite view interesting where they go. The Brooklyn sub starts at the Brooklyn Yard in Portland to Eugene Yard. Then CORP down the Siskiyou Sub and UPSP the Cascade Sub.

@billmorrison3714 Год назад

is the brooklyn speed restricted, or is yupee playing psr? is the pnw & pw class Ii or III, awful slow?, no helpers thru EUG?, btw another tour de force, the O.T.C. thanks you for your due diligence ;-) KEEP EM' COMING

@TheRailfanDan 3 года назад

I'm not sure about speed restrictions on Brooklyn. Maybe in some locations. Portland & Western is a class II railroad and a whole lot of their trackage is 10mph. Manned helpers have been happening up Pengra Pass out of Oakridge these days. Thanks Mel!

Absolutely incredible production!! We moved out if Portland to Amity (best decision ever). We lived near a train line in Portland and I was sad to leave the sounds of train horns. Turns out, there's a line that runs right through Amity and I can still hear trains!! That made this rail fan very happy. Do you happen to know what line goes through Amity?

@TheRailfanDan 2 года назад

Yes that line is part of the Portland & Western Railroad system and is referred to as the Westside branch.

Really cool seeing all the P&W west side main stuff! How frequently do they run that side of things? I'm headed to the area in June and would love to catch some action in the west side main. Particularly that Wilamina local looks like a great chase!

@TheRailfanDan 3 года назад

Jobs on that line run 5 days a week no weekends. The Westsider train runs North to Whiteson in the early morning and usually arrives at Whiteson around 0900 if it's on time so there's chance to get it South of there in the light quite a ways. The Willamina crew is on duty around 1100 if they're on time so they're usually heading out of Whiteson toward Willamina around noon. All subject to change if things are off schedule of course but I've had success with those times when I've chased them.

@joeymatsumoto9177 3 года назад

I'm a little curious how you plan these encounters with trains? I see some of these tracks all the time but I rarely ever see a train on them. Do you just pick a place and wait all day? Is there some sort of schedule you can follow? Or is my train caching luck just lower than average?

@TheRailfanDan 3 года назад

Well actually most of the trains on the smaller railroads are predictable in the times that they run if you have the info. Amtrak train schedules are also public knowledge. I usually have some kind of inside info when I'm out chasing trains anyway. It helps to know people!

@torscabinetofcuriosities 3 года назад

What's the deal with those BNSF grain trains? I saw one southbound through Eugene in January, almost identical to the one you caught minus the H1 second out. Do they originate somewhere in the Willamette Valley? If not, why don't they take the Oregon Trunk? How frequent are they? How long have they been a thing?

@TheRailfanDan 3 года назад

They are actually pretty common. Even more so so far in 2021 since grain is booming. Those trains come off the CN north of Seattle and run through the UP down to Bakersfield. I believe them running down the UP has to do with the destination point in Bakersfield.
