One of great railroad routes in the world. This film was done in 2009, one of the last busy years for this route. That's because the Union Pacific Railroad made the Donner Pass tunnel larger so it would accomodate the container trains and now many of those trains go over Donner Pass, not down the Feather River. You can still see trains there, such as coal and grain and manifests, but not the heavy traffic you'll see in this program. Thanks for enjoying it!

Used to love walking the tracks through uninhabited areas. Just enjoying the quiet and solitude of being alone with my thoughts and at peace from the cluttered world.

Feather river is an absolutely amazing rout, rather you cab ride, passenger train, or hop a freight, one of the most beautiful routs I have ever personally ridden.

I went to highschool in Oroville and Jr high in Quincy. Lived a few places along highway 70 in the feather river canyon. I loved it there and want to go back when I retire. I miss the trains and the beautiful canyon places.

Back in the day, I remember the all streamlined, silver, California Zephyr storming out of the Feather River Canyon, reaching a top speed of 120 MPH. One of the most beautiful sights in the world!!

I used to go trout fishing on the Feather, mostly the tributary streams. Chips creek, Chambers creek, Spanish creek and a nice inflow just about under the trestle at Tobin. Can't remember the name of it. Hung out a bit at Tobin when it was in business. Not a bad watering hole. Hauled lumber out of Quincy for a good many years. The Feather River highway was about as interesting for an 18 wheeler as the railroad was for a locomotive. Rocks! Damned rocks and slides. As they said, slow going. Well, no point in trying to hurry, there was always another corner ahead. Rode the California Zephyr to Chicago, lo those many years ago. Army days back in the early 60s. Train ticket from Sacramento to Ayer, Mass was $78.00 if I recall correctly. Brings back some memories. Drinking gin with the off duty conductor(?) in a forward car heading down the Eastern slope of the Continental Divide. Asked him how fast we were going and he said about 103-105 mph on that stretch. I was impressed. Changing trains in Chicago. Ah hell, wish that I could do it all over again.

Truly an amazing route. Unique in all of train-dom. I've wanted to actually go see it for myself for a long time. I hope I get to sometime. Thanks for posting this! And yes, requires slow speeds alright .... good brakes in one direction, and, a ton of fuel in the other.

that Y bridge at the end is pretty cool, with both roads using it simultaneously and the modified tunnel portal being blasted to fit the newer intermodal double stacks. Thats kinda interesting details of anyone ever wanted to model this area. The dual wye bridge would be a really cool model.
