its a shame about this line I wanted to go back and rephotograph it but oh well I was there and rode it when we had the NRHS convention in Portland however I took my memory cards to this photoshop to put on CD and pictures which I left with them and went back on another photo run and when I returned the shop changed hands and my work and CDs as well s memory cards was desposed of or lost ? thus no shots of the NRHS Portland convention and shots of this line exist anymore

[thomaskraker]

I hope a miracle takes place soon and somehow, the line is reopened. It sees like only an act of God will help us now.

[TrainTrackTrav]

WOW! Listen to those 567's making the sounds that they were made to. LOVE IT!!!!! Wish BNSF kept their SD9s. :-(

[nikosjk1]

The sounds of 567's and some beautiful scenery, great video, what a shame the line is now gone.

[TheMrBlinx]

I watch these videos every day. They are SO addictive. With the audio going to my stereo, and the sub-woofer cranked up a bit, it's almost like I'm there. This would make a great speeder trip.

[TheMrBlinx]

Where is part 2 of this series? Can't find it.

[Andypan43]

Great videos but where is part 2?

[mikeandkiley]

Yeah, I remember that day too. I loved running freight trains up and down that hill. Matt, thanks for the doughnuts and the Subway.

[csxt6573]

Haha no problem Mike, it was always fun when you and Dan would come into Banks. I remember rushing to beat you guys there on the return trip from Harbor just so we wouldn't have to take the interchange!

[larsenisi]

Man this brings back some great memories working on that line. I wish we could go back and do that again. Thanks for posting these videos Matt.

[danwat1234]

Could you re-encode this video onto youtube?? Because then it would have th 'HQ' option, which has better sound encoding!

[trainguyinky]

ware did part 2 go?

[SD457500]

Man, I love the sound of those 567 engines. I really miss seeing SD9s on the BNSF... Great video.

[honkyjonny]

favorite job ever besides the people to bad it will probaly never be again, but who knows

[NJT4111]

why did they shut down the line, it could have been the best torist line, look at the curves and the bridges, and tunnels! sweet video, your lucky

[decline2state]

It looks like service has been restored on the line as of mid- to late April of this year, according to the Port of Tillamook Bay's newsletter.

[NJT4111]

[Derailedtrain666]

[chbitter]

[TrainmasterCurt]

Love the 567chant through the tunnel!!

[Toyboy789]

Wonderful vid! Mesmerising! And the track is surprisingly smooth...

[larsenisi]

Those were good times... I am glad you got to come with me before the line was closed down. Great Video!

[csxt6573]

Yeah, so am I! Eventually I'll post the rest of the video, sicne you know darn well I took more ;)

[iggyjill]

the sd9 never had turbos built in them unless later the railroads installed them the turbo didnt become a norn til the sd24. also does the sd9 on potb have dual controls or is the a short hood forward control stand?

[csxt6573]

The SD9 I was in (former BN 6164) actually does have dual control stands, but it is only one of two that are so equipped.

[iggyjill]

is there anyway you can tell from the outside of the unit?

[csxt6573]

No, they look the same on the outside.

[trevorandy]

non turbo charged

[np560]

You guys need to get busy with the broom and get those leaves off of the walkways. NEAT 567 sounds!!!

[4449steam]
