7idea productions and Distant Signal are by far the two best RR channels on KZfaq. The history lessons are great. "Whiskey Mike"

I used to live in Pocatello right across the street from the hump yard and crew change point when I was a teen. I would fall asleep to the sound of idling diesels every night.

Great to see a program filmed this year! Thank you Aaron! ❤

I grew up in Pocatello not far from the switch hill. One day a group us got the idea of visiting the hill. On our run through the yards we were detained by the railroad guard. Instead of kicking us out he took us to the hill and we got to see the cars from the inspectors chair under the tracks on the hill. One of the highlights of my childhood. Great video. Thank you!

Absolutely riveting production!! All hits and runs with no errors!! Prester Bob

Superb photography and narration. Come back when it's warmer.

I live here in Idaho. 1.5 hours from Pocatello. Railfaned it when I was down there

Would love to see a video of the UP Montana Sub between Pocatello and Silverbow. Such an overlooked interesting sub.

I agree. The photography is excellent. Not just trains rolling by. Very well done! More please!

What a great channel ...thank you!

I lived to the west of the hump bowl tracks while going to Jr high and high school during late 1950s and early 1960. My father was a yard engineer and a couple times was able to take on the hump engine shoving trains over the hump.

OH MAN I love winter railroading! Thanks 7idea!

I remember staying in Pocatello for a couple of days in the late 1990's with friends at there house on the hills around town. It was a log home and very quiet but you could still hear the cars bang at the hump. At that distance, it didn't bother me and I fell asleep to it soon. Jordan was a welder for U.P.R.R. I should have had him take me for a tour but we had a horse trip planned and never got around to it.

Winter on the OSL this week. 1:05 We begin where all trains on the OSL are built Pocatello Yard itself

love riding trains in the snow .

Thank you for this view NOW I know where I want to go for my next railroad adventure!

Having lived in Pocatello my whole life, I miss the around the clock bustling rail yard operations that used to occur here. Railroad employees were a large and diverse part of our population. Most were re-located or laid off permanently with the down sizing that took place over the course of several decades. I feel like city officials in our town did very little to compromise with operation expansion proposals that were made by UPRR throughout the late 20th century. As a partial result, Union Pacific expanded in other locations and our huge rail yard seems like just a whistle stop nowadays.

Amazing videos and catches, love those landscapes. 7 idea the best. Greetings from Chile.

Excellent Presentation combined with extraordinary efforts. Hearty Greetings from Hyderabad, India 🇮🇳

Thank you so much for some OSL footage. It’s once again great to see home territory. Reminds me that I need to go spend some time trackside.

Superb video, thanks for sharing, from Germany

I love the small history lesson. Thank you!

Gorgeous! So beautiful, so easy to imagine the quiet and cold. That Mike guy had a good thing going.

Awesome catches along the Pocatello sub

ALWAYS Spectacular videos! It's amazing how you can pronounce the names of all those towns with their unusual spellings! Besides patience, it must take a lot of hot coffee ☕️ to keep your camera and sound crew comfortable! Thanks always, for these interesting and beautiful videos! 👏👏👏👏👏

Love excellent videos of the UP’! What a challenge with the winter weather! LOVE THE UNION PACIFIC thanks for sharing!

You captured the scenery wonderfully. The sound was perfect. How your team gets these pictures amazes me ibn the conditions they work in.

Great stuff! With how dead the OSL feels nowadays it's nice to see traffic on it even in winter!

Nice video about an out of the way line. Great to see some of the old stations still standing. Kudos for getting out there in winter conditions to shoot this.

Love this video! Stunning scenery well shot and love the fact the line is signaled too

Dang 1 day and 20k views. That’s a sign that Idaho and trains make for the best videos!

Videos are great to look at during snow storms and right after. But it is not so great to have to work under the cold and msnowy conditions when prroblems arise.

I grew up in Rexburg, ID. I know Pocatello well, but I didn't know the train history. One thing I don't miss is the weather. So 🥶 cold .

Great video 👍👍👍👍

Thanks for your efforts. I grew up in the Bancroft area and eventually moved to Pocatello, now the last 30 years. I drove a PTI van for about 6 months 2 years ago during cancer treatments. I hauled crews from Green River to Nampa, Ogden to Silverbow and many locations in between. My country.

I can’t believe you caught this many good trains out there. I run I-86 and Hwy 30 regularly and since PSR I feel lucky to catch 2 trains all day. Great video!

Excellent train captures.

On occasion i haul fertilizer out of Pocatello or Soda Springs. So i kinda railfan from the cab of my truck. Thanks for the history lesson and the excellent footage.

I just love these train videos😊

Thank you for doing the history lesson on the display locos in Ross Park. I live about 5 houses away from that location and haven't been able to get any information on them. Way cool!

30:11 love seeing the old AC6000 units out and about.

Awesome video great history and info

That long curve shot at pebble is the one I'm planning to use when the 4014 comes through this summer.

Keep those Union Pacific videos coming!!!!!!

Excellent!

Preserve the Bus Station and Train Station 😊

My grandpa was a conductor for the UP Rawlins, Wyoming to Pocatello, Idaho in the 70's and 80's

Loved this one. Very close to my home in Preston, Idaho. Do you plan on doing one from Pocatello to Ogden?

Excellent content and narration.

No heritage/special paint locomotives. No foreign power. And you managed to catch two SD70Ms together NOT in the 4000 number series. Excellent work!

That's some rough country. I wouldn't mind visiting... but I think I'd miss the sea. 29:55 is a great shot.

Nice footage from the frozen tundra! As always, great video content and hope to see y'all this summer catching UP 4014 out on Donner Pass!

Dying to see the Seattle sub and Brooklyn Subs get uploaded. Those are my territory(with the Portland sub as well)

The 2-8-2 steam locomotive in the park is/was a coal-burner, as shown by its ash pan under the firebox.

That's some serious hazmat😮

Great Film. You should do a trip from Harrisburg, Pa all the way up to Horseshoe curve, Altoona PA.

What’s your biggest challenge of filming in the winter time? Beautiful filming by the way, the sky is so blue.

SUPERE video 😍😍❤❤

Awesome videos!

Wow, surprise new video...always well done! Is this the first video you made straight to youtube? Will there be an extended version available on your website?

I Love Unit Trains! Shipping Coal, Potash, Covered Hoppers, Coal, Gravel, Tank Cars, Hazardous Materials, Beef, TOFC, Well Cars, so much!!! Big Lash Ups of Motive Power and a long string of cars. Too bad some of the mergers took away some of my favorite Train Lines. Occasionally a former popular car will find its way into the pack. But, where is its destination? Not to the scrap heap, maybe to a club for members to make it a museum piece? So glad I’ve been buying KATO Track, I’ll be laying claim to at least a 12’ by 20’piece of the basement for my N Scale Operation. The Electric Company came in and ruined some of my plans. The basement concrete block wall in the Northwest portion of my future empire was exactly where the Panel Boxes for the Main and 2 Sub-Feeds had to go. Yep, took a big portion of what I had hoped for a 25 foot run. Down to only 12’ due to the Utility Room.😂 That gave me pause for over 30 years! When WW3 starts what will we face?

I would like to see you do an Arizona video even threw Yuma AZ.

When the dvd/Blu-ray movie comes out?

that 6901 was 1 bad mother ,id loved to see it run yeatrs ago

Never Make It to the Erea Beautiful Scenery 😊

As usual, Idaho has no idea of maintaining roads in the winter. Great video!

top.

What's the average time lapse between trains on this route. The video makes it appear they are riding each other's tails!

Technically this is not the "Overland Route" at all, which goes to Ogden and on the SP to Sacramento. It's the Oregon Short Line or the Northwestern District.

I drove thru here in 2108 in a rental truck…

The condition of those artifacts at Pocatello is a shame. The cab of the steamer is filling with snow, the diesel looks worn out and the caboose looks even worse. I guess the people of Pocatello just don't care.

I live sand point to montna

This is awesome.
