A look at the history and operations of UNION PACIFIC’s Condon branch and the Arlington area of the Columbia River Gorge. The Waste Management facility of Gilliam County is featured as the major rail shipper.
HI T REX: ONCE AGAIN TNX FOR SENDING THIS TO ME. I HAVE BEEN TO GILLIAM CO OREGON & KNOW HOW ISOLATED & DESOLTE IT IS. HOWEVER HAS ITS OWN KIND OF BEAUTY . JOE W DAVIS.
Excellent Job on the Video. You Deserve Much Higher Subscribers Numbers, Likes and Comments. Keep up the Strong 💪 Efforts and Thanks for Posting it. 👍🙏
Once more I'm impressed with your commentary AND videography! And I half expected one of the head-end crew to lean out of the window and holler, "Yo, Jeremy!" Thanks again for the wonderful work.
Fun ! Not, but someone has to do it ..Waved @ UP south @ Crescent day before yesterday ! they honked beside the Standard summit Horn .Then on my way to Sisters, I saw and waved at BNSF S.
Great video! If it can be placed in "layman's language" I would like a video on Distributive Power! A look inside at Waste Management (if they would allow) handling the unloading of the containers/cars would be interesting too! Thanks.
Great vid as always, but an ignoble job for a train. Didn't know Seattle dumped their garbage in Oregon. In 93 I had a sales route that included rural central Oregon. With time to kill one afternoon I drove out to Condon. Just in time to see the stacks of railroad ties from the removal of that line.
Great video all-around and very informative! Where did you park for that tunnel shot? Shoulder of I-84? I've been looking there on Google Maps for my own trip out there next summer and that's the best I can figure.
Absolutely love the video! Keep up the great work! I am working on making a model of UP’s SEGL and GLSE. Proving very hard to find HO scale containers that look right. Do you know the lengths of the containers?
That is great to hear! I wondered what it would take to model one of these trains too. Not sure if they’re 48’, 53’ but thinking something in that range. Once the correct length container is found it shouldn’t be hard though. Spray paint green or gray and cover the top with a tarp. A few added details and it’s done! Singles on articulated cars and doubles on single wells…voila!
@@pacificrailproductions5281 thanks do the info! I found some 3d printed containers on eBay 9 for 25 bucks, just got some paint. Have you ever seen foreign power on the garbage route?
Enjoy your videos! You have a great speaking voice. Have you ever considered voice over work? My guess is you are an engineer. How often do you operate the same locomotives? And do you have a favorite locomotive? With all the foreign power, do railroads have proprietary software? If so, how do they implement that in foreign power? Keep up the great work!!
@@pacificrailproductions5281 I'm was just wondering if the UP uses different software to run their locomotives or handle communications, than say CP? Or BNSF? Or are all railroads using the same stuff? Just watched your newest production. Great Content!! Look forward to more!
@@tomv99 I see. Now, at least on most engines we see on our territory, they are able to use the same program (PTC) but not EMS (energy management system)
The BNSF trash trains from the Puget Sound area run to Roosevelt, WA. Roosevelt is located just north of the Columbia River in the same general region.
It’s the only reasonable way to transport thousands of tons of trash a long distance affordably. In the northwest, this has been a practice that works to take trash to a processing area far from the inner city.
Disappointed that the United States is such a Disposable Nation. We Buy a Lot of Cheap Junk from Overseas and it’s Easier/Cheaper to Dispose of, than Repair. 🤪👎
