This is about as interesting as watching paint dry. I don't mean that in a mean way, but I don't understand how this is much different from what Any Warhol did in the 1970s taking a moving picture of a static building. Can you enlighten me?

[ervans]

No, there's no way. If you don't get the feeling of the big power of the train rocking around you there's no hope

Ervans - I get the power feeling when I sit in an airplane, the pilot blasts forth the engines and the things shoots down the runway. But I ride a rickety commuter train into Chicago every day on track as wavy as this video shows. The only feeling I get from that experience is upchucked urp juice as the train driver gooses the brakes then accelerates again. Visit Chicago sometime and you'll get your fill of diesel power in one afternoon on the Burlington three-track mainline westward. :) Jim

It has something to do with where the trains are, but all I can say is I love watching trains and a lot of other people do to so that's it

I'm planning on a trip to Portland to visit my Brother. Pastor Duffy. and when I do I going to do some train chasing!!!

This one is Oregon Electric Railway was an railroad line in the U.S. state of Oregon that linked Portland, to Eugene. Service from Portland to Salem, Oregon, began in 1907. Portland and Seattle Railway extended service to Eugene in 1912. Regular passenger service along the Willamette Valley ended in June 30, 1933, though freight operations continued and the railway survived today (ultimately as a Burlington Northern feeder). (Operation as an electric railroad ended July 10, 1945.)

Why 4 Locos for such a small load?

Holy shit look at those rails :D

To me it's a wonder they allow such heavy trains to still run there at all xD

[radbcc]

@jjanossy Either you love trains or you don't. It's about that simple.

[rdrom70]

wheres the welded rail. talk about old school.

The pain scheme on 3006 and 3004 look exactly like the pain scheme I use on my railroad in train simulator.

[trainz675]

[BigOlBrandon93]

@acidm0nkey - well put and I retract my cynical comments. My kids liked watching trains too.
