Very enjoyable video. I especially liked seeing the layout of the customers along the line. Not many people concentrate on such but it's very helpful to we who are modeler's. Thanks again.

Thank you so much for posting video! Lucky guy. When S P was around. My buddy, who is a conductor, invited me to ride along on a local from Oxnard up to Goleta in Santa Barbara. It was a thrill of a lifetime! How cool is it that you got invited aboard that little switcher. And took us with you? 😅 What amazes me is the father of these young guys was able to buy a whole R.R.,& run and maintain it. Looks to be in good condition. What a great way to make a living. Plus they have solid custoners that keep em busy! Cant thank you enough. Glad i found your channel. Mahalos, brother. P.j.signs, Carpinteria Calif.

That's a pretty neat story 😮😮

Used to work for the TCWR (now at CN); pretty cool to see how far reaching our corn hoppers went.

wow its like watching the Raritan River Railroad in action again

My dad worked for SP and then UP and he retired from Brooklyn ramp in Portland 12 or more years ago .as a kid I got to ride in engines and caboose from the coos bay depot to the trestle in Florence .One of my dads jobs was to run ahead and open the trestles for the train.

Every time I hear the horn I think of SP. The Nathan P3 cast or not. SP had them on every train that ran on the Siskiyou sub, ran from Roseburg to Eugene.

I would LOVE to have your job, my friend!! That's my kind of excitement!

1202 is an ex Canadian Pacific (CP Rail) SW1200RS built by GMDD in London Ontario. General Motors Diesel Division was the Canadian arm of EMD.

Another excellent video. Thank you

I always enjoy your videos. I'm sure it was a good experience riding with crew. Old hat for you, I suppose, but it would have been even better for me.

Excellent video. Nice crew of People too. Thanks for your hard work.

Thank you for a very enjoyable and informative video. I’m in the UK and model Oregon railroading in N scale so very interesting to watch. And thank you to Oregon Pacific RR

The SW1200s that Portland & Western had (they had four from Pittsburgh & Shawmut RR at one time) were not well liked by the crews there. Rough riding, slippery, and prone to sliding the wheels and resultant flat spots unless the brakes were handled carefully. I liked them, though, as they were snappy switchers. Thank you for the video, got my "I wanna cab ride' urge satisfied for a bit.

Great viewpoints from not only the Locomotive cabs but also the industries served. Another good job! Thanks fr sharing.

Great video. Thanks for sharing with us armchair railroaders!

Great video, great info as well! Thanks, & BE SAFE!

My Dad Jim Hurd was a SP Brakeman/Conductor from 1943-1978. He loved working the locals. I got to ride with him in 1972 on the Canby Local from Canby to Molalla.

I'm glad you clarified it was a variable switch I about just screamed that he was about to run through it!

Love the shortlines.

Awesome Footage of the Beautiful Oregon Pacific Railroad in the State of Oregon ❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥💯💯💯💯💯💯💯

I was working for UP for a while and I really want to get into Oregon Pacific

Thanks for taking us along! Also the video is full of great info. Outstanding!!

Outstanding Video!! Thanks!

That was super special! Will you be covering their Portland Branch soon?

This is a cool video where we see a railroad switching cars for customers you guys keep on rocking& rolling stay safe

Excellent video. Great seeing another shortline railroad in active operation.Very surprised how four industries keep this railroad so busy.Keep the shortline videos coming.

This was a great video. I work up north of Hubbard near the Grim Rd crossing and enjoy the UP trains passing through there multiple times a day. I also see the Oregon Pacific operating on occasions as I travel into Canby and the surrounding areas. Keep up the great work!

Great video of the OPR's Canby line! I need to get down there and railfan this route soon! This is one of the few places I haven't railfanned in the Portland Metro Area.

Awesome video, I live really close to this railroad and always wanted to see behind the scenes. Thanks!

Another amazing video, Jeremy! Thanks for sharing another astonishing backwoods railroad! This short line is surprisingly busy, and, as a hopeless fan of vintage EMDs, it's SO cool they do all this work with a couple of gorgeous SW1500s. Their 12V-645s seem to get through their day effortlessly, with nothing more than a low, slow, easy rumble. Bravo, my friend!

Thank you for such an excellent railroad video! Excellent composition on the camera and excellent narration. Such enthusiasm from someone who is already a railroader and having new experiences on the rails. And big thank you to the Oregon Pacific Railroad and their customers for letting you ride along and document their operations. I'm jealous.

Very enjoyable and interesting for someone like myself, a retired fire company officer, farmer and fan of Oregon and northwest railroading. Nick, North West Farmer (Oregon)

Hello from central Texas. Enjoyed the video very much. Glad I found your channel. Keep up the good work.

Slow and easy on that track ..THAT JEEP IS SICK !!!

It's a shame they've had some trouble with fires on their locomotives over the years. I have been around this small rail line often over the decades. My uncle lives just a couple miles from the line, and I have hauled out of RSG and Interfor Molalla for years, being in the timber industry. I need to stop and talk to the railroad owners one of these days. Good folks😊. Thanks for another great video!👍

Thanks for the Video. 👍🙏

Thanks!!

Is that a hi-rail Jeep?! Cool!

Great video, thanks

Love your beautiful video friend thanks sharing this beautiful video friend

Thanks for uploading this video.😊I enjoyed it.Keep these great videos coming.😊🚂🚃🚃🚃🚃😊

I really enjoyed this video. Back when I was in third and fourth grade my family and I lived in Sycamore Illinois. The time was early 60s. Across the street was an a Chicago and Great Western (CGW) industrial switch line. I believe it was a NW2 that ran on this line. Our road dead ended at the raised grade for the mainline. F units with long line of box cars behind would blast through at high speed. Your video brought back good memories. Great views from the cab. Thanks

Thanks for the video of Oregon Pacific's Short Line Switching. BTW greetings from New Zealand 🇳🇿 ❤

A very good video and thanks for showing. How many miles long is the Oregon Pacific Railway?

Thanks for the great videos! Also, at 25:30, the coil cars wound up in front of the locomotives on the spur, under the overpass. How did that happen? Ref minute 24:45

Where do you get your maps of the railways from?

@ 1:54 pm today Listening to the Eugene yard and I assume its the Pushers talking out of Oakridge . They are some funny boys .. but unless they are waiting for a UP 14 ? Amtrak has not passed them .. waiting for them . Is it not like 11;? am for EUG ? I rode it once .

What days do they operate. Also on those days what time do they usually get on duty

Is a “variable switch” similar to a spring switch?

Very nice Railroad, 45:19🚂🚃🚃🚃
