- Taken over several trips to the area, PRP brings you the first installment of a two part video covering the beautiful Black Butte Subdivision of Union Pacific RR. We will see many trains and operational situations over the road that crosses the shoulders of majestic Mount Shasta. I hope you enjoy this trip. Sincerely, your friend at Pacific Rail Productions.
Calling stormy weather a “talkative sky” is amazing
🙏🏻it was telling me, maybe don’t stand on top of that rock! lol. Thanks!
A nice compilation of Union Pacific trains!
Thank you!
Beautifully done. You add details on train consists that help tell the story of not only UP but of all the employees who work to make the system run.
Awesome scenery 😁
This was incredible! You make amazing videos and I can't wait to see more!
Thank you very much! 🙏🏻
Awesome captures🚂🔥🫵🏼1️⃣
More fantastic work, Jeremy! The night shots of the Klamath Falls yard were beautiful, and made me a little homesick. When I was a kid there was still a water tower standing along a siding at Grass Lake summit, and a wye off the siding where SP turned helpers back in the steam days. The tail track of the wye extended past what's now Hwy 97. The old Hwy 97 route ( now called Deer Mountain Road...) climbs up Whaleback Mountain before dropping through the little settlement of Bray and finally into Mt. Hebron. I love that country! Thanks again, Jeremy, for the time and effort you invest in your videos; there are a LOT of us who appreciate it!
I’ve enjoyed making it! There’s a lot more Klamath Falls material coming in the Modoc video. I appreciate your encouragement. It’s been a labor of love. It’s a special region; would have been cool to grow up there. Always look forward to your thoughts Robert
Beautiful Jeremy
Thanks Dennis!
Thanks for sharing this great scenery, along with the great trains of the UP!l Love the UNION PACIFIC!!!
I’m really glad you enjoyed the video CJ.
Great video, as usual. Mt. Shasta shots were really nice. It's supposedly an active UAP site, but I didn't see any in your video.
Spectacular scenery! Truly, one of my favorite areas of California.
Thank you for this and the upcoming videos!
🇺🇸😁👍
Beautiful stretch of railroad!
Was up there Sunday 6-2-24...only train was a BNSF unit train south bound...many, many many ties set out, plus hirail rig with more ties heading north at Whitney Creek.
It seems the traffic can be slow at times. Sorry about that.
@@pacificrailproductions5281 yes it can be. I have been up there a few times with my grand son and nothing. Rail fans take what comes along.
breath taking scenery...thanks for sharing. i look forward to part 2.
Awesome coverage of this area ! I've been long curious about this region, especially after a trip on the Coast Starlight from LA to Seattle. I really appreciate the work you put into the making of this video presentation. Looking forward to part 2.
BTW; You've got a new subscriber : )

Larry, thank you for your support! Nice to have sunny SoCal aboard
@@pacificrailproductions5281 You're very welcome : )
Excellent work
Awesome my friends Like 👍🏻 excellent video fantástic locomotive my support from Argentina and Greeting
A pleasure to hear from Argentina! 🇦🇷 welcome!
Once again great information and great camera work
I like the name; SP Bob! Many thanks
Jeremy this is great and you know I was just recently here as well. I'm currently working on what I got during my time here and it's fun to watch some of the same spots we both captured. I guess great minds think alike! Great job on this my friend!
Yeah, it’s been on my to do list for a while! It was fun getting down there! I’m glad you filmed it too my friend! Can’t wait to see more:)
I really like how you moderate and all the background information
Beautiful video Jeremy! Amazing as always!
Thank you; your shots are beautiful up in Washington!
@@pacificrailproductions5281 Thank you!
My home.
You sound like railfan Dan lol
Just about to comment on this video and here you are haha! The voice behind PRP is actually a good friend of mine and I enjoy his material as well! We do live in the same region.
Dan is a lot younger than me, so thank you!
What mostly confuses me is why the train wheels make the buzzing sound on the tracks. I think probably the tracks were freshly grounded, so it might be that a rail grinder might’ve came by and grinded the tracks
Yeah that’s only a feature of smooth, class one tracks.
Splendid video and very inspiring for us train modelling aficionados (gauge N). Warm greetings from Belgium!
From Belgium? Wow you’re in the middle of it all, Paris, London, Amsterdam… so cool! Thanks Johan! And happy model railroading! You have a western American theme I take it?
Thanks again for the encouragement.
@pacificrailproductions5281 You're welcome, well yes, we try to make a modell rail inspired on what we see West of the Mississippi, i your videos. we mainly use UP and BNSF rolling stock. As landscape, we're still thinking about an Oregon or Californian theme, but are also open to others West of the Mississippi themes. There are splendid wide views, as shown in your videos. It's very inspiring! Was once in California and saw a bit of the mighty beauty of nature there.
@@johannleuckx1625fantastic stuff! I’m glad to offer inspiration for your model RR!
Nice work with beautiful scenery. How many trains per day come through here?
I’d say average about 10-12 per day. As well as 2 amtraks.
39:04 passenger special!
Yeah, he had a nice view!
Mount Shasta great town as is Dunsmuir
Yes, great work. How you find out all the down load on train and loads? You must not be using a smart phone camera as picture quality fantastic. Wish you would leave the train info up a bit longer
Thank you uprailman! I am a UP conductor actually, so the information is available to me on the employee site. I can try to leave the info up longer. I wasn’t sure if viewers would want that. Didn’t want to detract from the scene too much, but I can add a couple seconds.
What video camera do you use? The shots and audio are really clear. I have a JVC HD unit with a decent zoom that works well for me. I'll be taking it to the Columbia River along with my trusty Nikon next month.
It’s really simple for me! I use an iPhone ProMax camera. When the kids are grown maybe I can upgrade! I go places that make lugging equipment tough anyways. Enjoy your trip to the river! My favorite place for sure. Cheers!
Great video! You mentioned the Cascade Helpers are no longer running. What’s the story there? When did they stop operating?
Just this last fall. They were cut and the helper crew board disbanded out of Oakridge. Back to DPUs now.
Any guess as to why some of the lumber loads are covered and others aren't?
I only have educated guesses. That would be that the lumber mill has certain customers that choose to pay for the extra protection. Either that or a certain grade of lumber needs or merits the covering from the elements. I would bet it is determined more by the customer’s needs more than the mill’s choice, and made clear in written contracts.
@@pacificrailproductions5281 Works for me. I also thought of the different wood species requiring the covers. I'll be stopping in Klamath Falls instead of Grants Pass on my way home. The railroad benefits seem better at Kfalls than Grants Pass.
@@cherijim2911 it’s true. A good choice!
could it be the uncovered lumber is green and hasn’t been klin dried?
@@natgass8102That seems reasonable. Could also be seasonal, needs to be covered in the rainy season but can be uncovered in the summer.
