Soaring the Oregon Trunk: Winterail 2024 Show 

Always amazing, what an education, what an experience, can't you enough!

Congratulations on being Honored! You deserve it. I'm captivated by the Drone footage. As a Drone pilot I can only marvel at the skills you have acquired. You present these trains with such a great eye to providing the sense of Scale and grace. Simply awesome! Can't wait to see more.

The Oregon Trunk (& companion Gateway Sub) are two fabulous pieces of railroad and your videos of them really shine!

I always love the bird's eye views :)

Incredible beautiful!!! Applause from Germany !

Dan, what a great show. Hope you won some prize. Some more wonderful views for modelling. Thanks. Tom

Dan, even having watched this last weekend, it's a joy to watch again and again. I got a laugh watching the clip of 4449 crossing the Madras bridge with the Amtrak engine crew visibly enjoying the ride. Thanks for posting this!

Nobody does it better, Dan, kudos yet again !

I am always excited when I see you post a new video, especially in the mountains. Another wonderful job!

Dan.. wow!! I hope you received a standing-ovation as your work is superb.

I'm delighted your work is getting it's due recognition! It's always a treat when I see a new video from Railfan Dan.

Amazing video!!! Fantastic job Dan.

Thank you Dan for another excellent video with both great shots and edits!

My home town, my high school (class of 1958). I'll make a special Winterail return to Corvallis next March.

These scenes NEVER get old! Glad your talent being recognized by many. If you’re looking for something to do in your spare time I suggest you open a drone pilot’s school.

Excellent photography! Very well done.

Very nice video Oregon is such a beautiful state this video helps me relax 😊

Outstanding work as always Dan! One of the best channels on here by far.

Wow, excellent job Dan. I frequently visit many of those places. Need to go back. Theres more to see! I was pleasantly surprised to see those drive arms pumping away on 4449., thanks!

Beautiful !

Another amazing video...thanks for posting!👍

One of my favorite things to do is spot you while your droning.

I have said it before and will say it again - you turn the ordinary into a work of art!! I only hope the Winterail audience realized your skill and talent and recognized you appropriately. My wish for you is that someone from the BNSF organization sees this and sends it up the ladder to the "C-Suite" for recognition. The quality of this presentation belongs on the screen in the board room during a meeting so everyone can better understand the "true grit" of daily operations of railroading. It is of that high a quality level to be shown there!! Great job, be very proud of your work!!

Dan, that is a beautiful presentation. I live in Nebraska , so we don't have quite that kind of scenery and I enjoy seeing your presentations. I watch the videos partly as a railfan and partly as a model builder. Your videos show some delightful bridges, trestles, cuts, tunnels, and such. Some very inspiring structures, plus you present some nice footage showing the approach routes to the bridges. It's often easier to model a bridge than to depict how the tracks get on and off said bridge. Thank you for your fine videos. I'll stay tuned for more!

Wonderful scenery, Dan, and awesome editing..

Epic, as always. Thanks Dan

Very nice video. I wish I had known about the event in Corvallis. I would have driven over to watch this on the big screen! 😊

Stunning Seinery ❤ It 😊

Applause! Applause! Most definitely! That was a magnificent show. Your videography is always top notch. Watching, it made me wonder; what if Amtrak had a Seattle to LA train that was routed along the Columbia River east of Vancouver, down the Oregon Trunk to Klamath, down the Gateway to Keddie and the Feather River Canyon. From Oroville to Sacto, down to Bakersfield and over Tehachapi, a run through the high desert to Barstow (or maybe skip Barstow and stop in Victorville instead), and then over and down Cajon to LA. I'd ride that train in every season more than once!

Just found your channel Dan. Outstanding!!

Beautiful presentation of trains and scenery on the BNSF Oregon Trunk line, Dan! Your editing of the various scenes in this video was excellent. The drone footage was excellent. I was not aware that the Oregon Trunk was part of the Portland, Spokane & Seattle Railway, Dan, until you mentioned it the line was completed by the SP&S at the beginning of the video. I do not remember hearing or seeing a mention of the builder of the Oregon Trunk in any of your prior videos on this line.

This is an amazing compilation video. The locations are breathtaking from start to finish. The different seasons adds a lot to the experience. The orange pumpkins stands out from the snow covered landscape. I guess the Amtrak engine is only there for backup if something happens with the steam locomotive. By the way that particular train was a fantastic catch. I'm sure the guests really enjoyed your video, no wonder they applauded it at the end. Excellent job as always Dan.

Great video your friend Lou Thelen told me about your video, huge thumbs up, liked, and subbed.

I think this route used to be not much used but once BNSF was allowed the use of the UP Feather River Route from the Keddie Wye all the way into Sacramento, CA, the route has seen a lot more use.

Awesome work Dan !!

Good Show! Dan!

Well done Dan!

@railfandan , have you heard that Big Boy 4014 is gonna be thundering through the feather river canyon in July?!?! I pray you can get footage of this epic event!!

Like 1️⃣🔝➡️👏🏼

Hi Dan, just want to say thank you. I've been going through some bad depression and while I'm waiting for my meds to kick in your videos have been a big help. Great job, I'm a life long Oregonian living ing been and so love the effort you put in to your videos. And one question, is someone in the trailing engines? Thank you Dan and Skippy.

Stunning, as per usual, RailFan Dan,. Congratulations. Does anybody know where to go to find out about these special passengers trains and how to get one one?

Perfusionist Totally agree we need to get Dan to explore Crawford hill, Alliance, anthe coal mines of Wyoming

I would like to Build a Home 🏡 On That One Peak 😊

That was supposed to have said Bend

How Do Those Gorge Bridges 😊

What equipment do you use when recording off-camera narration?

Do you have a patreon? Would love to support your work!

I was there are 3:25 but a little bit too far to the right to be in your video.

Dan…. your work is so very good, compared to so many others on RU-vid, greatly enhanced by your excellent drone flying. You should have a lot more than 21k subscribers
