HD Amtrak Cascades at Portland Union Station

[1AmtrakFan]

Were was this taken at. I love the Cascade just a unique and beautiful train.

[Applachia0928]

@otis656 It's a safety regulation put in by the government. Amtrak is working on quick-acceleration trains for the Detroit-Chicago line. Other than that, most trains start out slow.

[Applachia0928]

@peterandben Oh, shut up. The F40PH and the AMD-103/P42DC are both fine, powerful, and classy locomotives. If you want to foam, go find another foamer.

[TheDylanJoyce]

Such a beautiful Vehicle the Cascades is...

[ervans]

@TheDylanJoyce Yes it is

[frederikteglhus]

whats the idea of the coashes high roof in each end?

[ervans]

@frederikteglhus I think so can go both ways

[RCKTBOY7]

@ervans It's to be more aerodynamic

[tjw1963]

Those last few cars that raced across the tracks were crazy!

What the car at the end of the train another engine or a funny caboose?

[tjw1963]

@tjw1963 I made a typo and should have put, Was the car at the end of the train another engine or a funny caboose?

[ervans]

@tjw1963 Thanks Teresa, It is another engine. I just got back from a long trip to California. I heard you were in Forbes from racing16. I just finished reading it, great to see.

[FSXSuperboy]

That train looks crazy!

[brickbuilder711]

Great video and excellent quality Ervan.

[ervans]

@brickbuilder711 Thanks

[nickelback303]

i couaght this one in salem after u did lol funny stuff

[atlanticcoastexpress]

Great video - thank you. The articulated (lightweight?) coaches don't look anywhere near as tough as the locomotives though! Have you ridden on the train? I've always wanted to do the run between Portland and Vancouver in British Columbia, but England where I live is too far away and fares are very expensive! Thanks for being there to film the train – makes up for me not being able to come to see it myself.

[Catholic504]

good old #507

[whiskey1951]

Nice video ervans, you have very big trains over there.

[ervans]

@whiskey1951 Thanks

[tahoedewey]

Amtrack is not as fun to ride since they got rid of open windows in the cars, but it's still great to look at and listen to!

Thanks for the video!

[robmasterman]

Another superb video Ervan, Why are the locomotives so high compared with the coaching stock? The articulated bogeys on the coaches was also interesting to see....Bob

[ervans]

@robmasterman Thanks Bob, a lot of the coaches are that high on other runs.

[wsuraifan]

Nice video,did you get a chance to check out the Navy ships at the Rose Festival?

[ervans]

@wsuraifan No, I didn't get up for that

[peterandben]

That F40 looks awesome leading, powered or not. Then the genisis comes in and ruins it! Great video

[pwalpar]

Very good video Ervan, I dont think Ive seen this train before

[ervans]

@pwalpar Thanks Walter, this is a new one

[pwalpar]

Very good video Ervan, I dont think Ive seen this train before

[evilempirewoman]

It's nice 2 c that Ptld Or didn't tear down their Union Station unlike Ptld ME did in the '60's

[chefjavier]

How long it take the train to reach Seattle?

[trainguy3]

Do the big attachments on the end do anything, or are they just special connectors?

[PonyPower71]

I see that sucker sitting across from my apartment here in Eugene. I guess it gets cleaned and restocked here.

[ervans]

@PonyPower71 Thanks, for the comment

[iusetano]

Great pullback. I also like the pating shot of the bridge. It help define the scale. Excellent video.

[shininghappyperson7]

[golden210285]

genial no sabia que habia vagones como estos que comparten un truck para dos carros, y dime si es correcto solo tiene dos acopladores todo el tren justo en los vagones detras de cada locomotora? excelente video captaste al fondo un tren suburbano o un metro? saludos!

[otis656]

why is this train so slow?? trains this size here, the netherlands, go fast, even when just departed

[ervans]

@otis656 This is a old track that goes through the city over a lot on streets

[LDE2100EGM]

It looks interesting, thumbs up for this video !

[RS11raptor11]

Some people are so stupid.
