20:06, this is where you will be able to clearly see the Class these locomotives are. Both of them are EMD SD70M's.

One of the most undocumented regions of railroading. Thanks for this coverage.

Thanks for the walk down memory lane, Jeremy! The Basin was a great place to grow up and work. The video reminded me of a story a friend told me maybe fifteen years ago; he was bringing a train north from Keddie and came upon a flatcar sitting alone on the main just south of Henley. It had been set out for repairs in the south end of the yard and had apparently rolled free during the night, run through several switches and onto the main, then successfully negotiated all of the crossings south of town before rolling to a stop in a low section of track just south of the Hwy 39 trestle at Henley. After a brief radio conversation with the yard tower it was decided they'd couple the escapee to the head end and simply shove it back into the yard. Thanks again for the informative commentary and beautiful videography!

Wow! Such occurrences can happen in dark territory! Scary! That’s a good one-fortunately plenty of straight line vision to see it in time. I really enjoy the area and open views. When did you leave the basin?

Great video as usual. The UP to Alturus, CA I believe you mentioned was 98 miles from K. Falls, if that is the layover point it must be a pretty slow trip for the crew. Do the slow speed journeys get boring? We just made the trip down from Camas, WA to Tehachapi, CA in May but our portion from K. Falls down to Reno only saw tracks, no trains, disappointing but plan to go back in the fall to stop at Portola to see the Keddie wye and the Western Pacific Museum. Keep up the good work, much appreciated and very good video editing.

Thanks a lot! The majority is 10mph, so I’ve heard from the crew that it is boring. They’re used to class 1 track speed. And it’s certainly true that seeing a train working is more the exception than the rule. It just helps to know when to look! I’m glad you’ll be back though! I’ll be in Portola the day after tomorrow.

I had planned to come down to see 4014 but had an offer to go sailing in Puget Sound and looking at the forecast I am kind of glad I decided not to visit.
