Thank you TT for these great catches, hobos on car 28 of train #2. So pleased there’s a new owner for this route. Looks like a very hard climb, a ride’s better than walking
@@travelingtom923 are you confined to base? We are due to new variant now in our village and out of control across the UK. Hoping for vaccines by mid Feb
@Foamer Points hi, hope it’s a virus way better than we one we bred in Little England. I enjoyed watching your inauguration event yesterday, you guys do ceremony really well
6:21 Spotted them, maybe in another life I would have been a freight hopper, but at least there's plenty of videos of people doing it so I don't have to!
I drove through Tennessee Pass in May 2016. It is pretty beautiful there. The fact that it is reopening to freight traffic is incredible and sounds like deja vu just with Stampede Pass on BNSF in Washington. It was shut down to traffic from 1984 to 1996 and then resurrected and rehabilitated.
Ah ha. There's the Hobos. When you hop a freight I always bring some water and a simple thing to snack on. Blanket ain't a bad idea either. They don't beat you up anymore like they used to. I hope.
Good Morning Tom!🍵When was that video filmed? I remember my first foaming of that pass. I naively ran down to a rock outcrop to tell a guy a train was coming down the pass. His greeting had to be to shush me because he was getting ready to film it!!😀
@@travelingtom923 You may already know that where Highway 24 crosses the pass, there is a narrow gauge roadbed. If you go about a quarter mile west on it, you will find some honeycomb coke ovens, one of which was collapsed when I saw them!😊
@@georgematthews2877 I was 21 in 1995 but I actually starting photographing and filming trains in 1985. My mother was a huge fan of video recording and had tons of 8mm silent films of us growing up. She gave me a camcorder in 1986 and naturally I started filming trains. I had 8 hours of my early stuff on one VHS tape and I don't know what happened to it. I had a great relationship with the BN and they let me hang out in their Denver shops as much as I wanted to and even let me ride on their trains. I was only 13 back then but was there so much they thought I worked there. I have tons of photographs. Maybe one day I will do a video of what is was like in the BN shops with narration and photos.
Well, thanks to a few of the counties involved whining, the expedited application has been denied; the lease will have to undergo full environmental review.
That is actually important. Showing any type of rail activity on that line keeps it off the abandon list for at least another year. Union Pacific will run Hi rails up and down periodically so people know it is still be used.
