Spectacular Snow Trains: Union Pacific in Oregon & more (4K) | Jan. 2024 

Thanks! You put a lot of work into them…❤👏👏

The Oregon Cascades and northern California have beautiful scenery, even more so when snow covered. I've ridden over this route a couple of times on the Coast Starlight. Your drone footage shows off the country much better than you can see from the train. Your views of Klamath Lake are especially beautiful. Imagine what the pioneers must have faced crossing through this area in wagons. One of my ancestors did and settled near Portland. I marvel how the Central Pacific built a railroad over Cascade summit. Those were very tough and determined men. Your video shows some of what they conquered and the difficulties railroaders still face running trains on these steep grades in winter. Well done. That must have been tough flying in that snow; it looked very cold.

Watching this video was a true joy!🤗 It beat going to the movies any day. So, thank you Dan.

Another stunning video. Pengra Pass never gets old. I keep thinking of that once in a lifetime shot of you and Mark waving at your drone. And yes, once again I marvel at what it must’ve taken to construct all of that. When you’re flying and it’s snowing it just looks magical., like being inside a snow globe. Thank you as always for the beauty that you capture and share.

I’m a sucker for trains and I can’t explain. About 50 years ago I was in my early teens and often did chores for others. A guy I worked for had a huge landscape project going on in his basement and I ended up helping create a landscape with cars trucks buses people and of course trains. So big thanks for this video

Now that’s some awesome RailFanning stuff right there. 👍🏻👍🏻 What a share great video Thanks for putting a great video out there. Have a fantastic weekend

Good video ❤❤😍😍

Thank you for another exciting video of trains in mountain scenery with the addition of snow and snowstorms, Dan! The drone footage near the beginning of the video in the snowstorm was fantastic! I enjoyed watching trains moving through the snow!

It shows that you put in a lot of effort. Thank you for the views. Have A Great Day.

Another mesmerizing video! These are areas of Oregon I have yet to visit, and now I want to make many road trips to these beautiful areas! Spectacular views and interesting trains! So much hard work and dedication goes into these videos! Thank you for sharing it with all of us!

Ooooh man, I wonder how it would have liked if Southern Pacific was still ruling the rails! I always will carry the SP in my heart......

Epic scenes Dan! Once again, you knock it out of the park!

Thank you Dan for your continued effort to produce these highly enjoyable videos. My big issue now is when I am going to my "Happy Place" to escape our crazy world, you keep adding these production masterpieces to the channel and now I have to stress out picking the one I want to watch to chill!! 😁 Seriously, the music, drone work, geography choice, and professional talent makes your work stand out so far above other's efforts!!! Thank You!!

Another great production! The south-facing shots, along the Black Butte Sub, also show well the burn area of the Lava? fire. Also loved the drone footage north of Klamath Falls where you’re flying near the low clouds and a waterfowl swoops by. Flying the drone in heavy snow-you’ve got more nerve than me.

Wow very good train 😊

Thank you Dan, a great video! In 30 years of (rare) visits, I've never once seen the top of Mt Shasta for cloud... Good to see the Amtrak GEs too, they've done well and good to see them still working hard. Had to smile at the fallen tree resting on the wires 34.20 - obviously UP S&T (Signalling & Telecommunications here in the UK) do a very good job!

Wow, great snow scenes and bravery on you're part, driving in those white-out conditions are hazardous.

Fantastic views, well recorded and presented.

Your Drone Flying skill are unbelievable. Flying backwards and rotating to keep the train in frame. Very impressive!. I fly a drone as well but not like that. It's Impressive that you fly such a long distance and keep everything in frame. Just Wow!

Love your beautiful videos! Thanks for sharing! Love the UNION PACIFIC!!!!

Great video sir! 👍🏻🎥💯

Rail On...Dan! Thank You!

Love your shots. Train engineers be like 'We drone celebs now."

Thanks!

The whole video is amazing, but the first sequence in the snow laden trees at Pengra Pass is just jaw dropping. Speaking of, when you're driving south on US97, after you crest the little pass over tunnel 17, the view of Shasta as you come into Dorris is just magnificent. I envy the Amtrak passengers passing through that winter wonderland. Perhaps a southbound trip on the Starlight at a future date is in order. It's the only western Amtrak train I haven't traveled on.

Nice 👍 I like the south bound manifests, and spotting lumber loads from mills near me. Roseburg Forest Products, Douglas County lumber, Swanson, DR Johnson.

While I enjoy all your videos, the winter ones seem to have that little extra magic. As always, nicely done, sir !

So I watched most of this last weekend at my friend's house and am now just getting around to finishing it a week later lol. There are so many areas along the line that I love going to on the hill, but perhaps my favorite 'go-to' is at tunnel seven. It's there that I can hike along the side of the tunnel and check out some of the cool things that the SP did to the tunnel, along with other cool features, back on the day. Like, did you know that there's a tunnel access portal sticking out the side of the mountain? Also, the trail gives access to the small rock shed, trestle, and tunnel eight. That's the location of a derailment back in the 1960's (?), dropping at least one boxcar down the steep ravine that is till there to this day.

Epic video....thanks for sharing...keep up the good work!

Another great video Dan. Thanks for sharing.

Awesome video

Railfanning Dan: Drone Master.

I ❤ the Tunnel Scenes 😊

Beautiful !

Thanks

Amazing video ! I camp in the McCredie springs- Fields area about 25 nights a year. Lots of trips in the snow.. Great to see videos from my home away from home.

I am such a huge fan of your work. That shot at 9:15 was one of the best cinematic drone maneuvers outside of FPV I've ever seen! I loved how in a couple shots, you could see pilot and aircraft. So much great stuff packed into one video!

7Idea Productions better up their game now. Great footage.

Wow!😲 Epic Scenes. Epic Trains. Epic Flying. Epic Photography. Epic Music. Epic Narration. Epic Video! This is fabulously beautiful and exciting!🤗 Gotta Love It!❤ Thank you Dan. 🚂Lawrence

Excelentes vídeos me encantaron 👌👍👍

Absolutely magnificent video the scenery is breath taking thanks for sharing this gem.

Outstanding job dan

WOW WOW WOW epic videos

During my two summers working at Crater Lake Lodge I made the drive to Klammath Falls many times. Not having a drone, Chiloquin was my favorite place to photograph trains.

Just found your channel and have become a subscriber. Your videos are awesome.

Great drone work. Appreciated.

Awesome photography!

Love trying to find from time to time the "hidden" pilot. I enjoy both "seeing" the pilot and how hidden they are at the same time. 😎😎 Thank you for your efforts making these!!!

YES!!!!!!!!!

Magnificent ❤It 😊

Your videos are always so good and the background music is well thought out. The winter shots in the beginning were amazing. I like the drone and on the ground shots throughout. Very well done. Keep them coming. I think what I like the most about that area is how remote and desolate other than the towns plus all those fir trees. Definitely a beautiful area to film trains.

Look at That Seinery 😊

Ein wunderschönes Video toll gemacht weiterhin good Lucky Train greetings from Germany Cologne ein Fan aus Krefeld Germany Rhein side Düsseldorf ❤

I'm impressed by how much of a tank your drone is, all that falling snow even if you called it quits! (no drones were harmed in the making of?)

Those coupling were too tight on that train causing the horns to blow in high pitch. Hahaha Beautiful Winter videographer Dan!

漂亮

Wave Dan !!

Nice videos

Snowy landscapes are indeed the best and the nicest. Especially from the air, where we can see a lot of the surroundings too. The snowfalls at the start are really lovely. The trains are cool here, as they snake around the mountains. I'd like to ask something. Does the exhaust smoke bothers the drone when you fly close to the locomotives? Fantastic video again Dan. I really enjoyed my beloved UP engines. And of course the pumpkins too.

Yes DC locomotives are best for snow as AC locomotives drop the load way too much in snow. DC will spin more and 'dig' thru it.

How is this video being filmed? Awesome footage of the train and mountain view!❤

Well done, some very beautiful footage. I wonder if it's possible to get loco sound from the drone, or you just hear the drone motor buzzing? I'm glad you got some ground scenes with sound, they were nice. My only suggestion: the music is a little Hollywood pretentious; a bit simpler music would be nice. Anyway, thanks.

😁

I have featured your video on my Face Book Page Transport Spotters Worldwide Guide

In weather like you shot in, do you have to be concerned with ice build up,on the drone blades like helicopters do?

Not a lot of snow😢😢😢😢

I have one regret watching this video; it is a pity this same artistry couldn’t have been done prior to the UP takeover.

Great vids. Get rid of the background music.

Illegal,to fly drones in inclement weather…

Thanks!

Thanks!

Thanks!
