    14:10 That little dog is very brave to be so close to the train.
    At least it waited patiently until it passed instead of taking a chance running under it😊

    That Milwaukee Bellingham footage is very rare. Good stuff.

    Came here for Burlington Northern, but seeing the Milwaukee Road trains and the Canadian were a bonus. Color shots--let alone film!--of the Canadian in CPR livery at the Vancouver Waterfront is very, very rare.

    There’s something very authentic about the BN’s horns, half of them are fouled and the other half are very high pitched.

    Thank you for sharing these videos, its great to see this era in living footage rather than photo collections.

  • @SteveJohnson-SD70MAC-747

    Great video! I was a young kid when a lot of this power was running on the rails in the PNW, but it is good to see again.

    I worked in many of those places and mainlines, I’m currently working on both the Stampede and Yakima Valley Subs between the Stampede Wye and SP&S Jct, I have worked on the Seattle Sub between King St and Vancouver, WA and the Scenic sub, Bellingham Sub, the former Milwaukee Lynden branch, Cherry Pt, Sumas Sub, Woodinville branch, Prairie Line, Columbia River Sub, Lakeside Sub and Fallbridge Sub, I worked out of Interbay for a couple of years (2009-2010) and Tacoma for a short time in 2014.

    Boy do those vids bring bak the good old days from the 50"s thru the 80's. I worked the 70's till retirement July 31, 2018 & the 1st 25 saw a lot of changes mostly attributed to computers & deregulation which allowed the last 20 yrs 2 wish I'd picked a different occupation. It was not enjoyable or gratifying job then. When I started in 2972 it was a job that u were proud to say that u were a railroader,, but then the railroad turned into a business & they ran it like they wished they didn't need us anymore & there main goal was & is still 2 remove ALL or as many as they can employees from their company. This all started when they were deregulated. Change is necessary but the trail of humans u leave behind is sad. It's all about that mighty $ & that works both ways for both the employer & employee.

      In 100% agreement with Ted. Only things different are the dates. July 1978 till Feb 2019.

      Congrats to you both. Enjoy your retirement. 6/7ths of the way there myself, some days I wonder if I'll make it.

    2 of the BN freights had C&S (Colorado & Southern) units leading.

    I miss the Cascade green, I miss the EMD Fs the variety of freights, no boring unit trains, well I really miss my youth! The 70s were a good time in the NW for me.

      Here in the BNSF rail yard in Superior, Wisconsin there are a couple locomotives in their original Cascade green doing yard duties with the white diagonal stripes on their fronts. There is also a green caboose that is on the rear of small consists that go around the city 😊

    All those fallen flags. Wasn't laser focused attention but of all the roads seen only Amtrak, the Borg and Borg North 1 & 2 are still around.

    This has to be fake or photoshopped/edited. There was no graffiti ANYWHERE!!? Not on the rail cars, street signs, building walls, bridges, basically anywhere spray paint could be applied 😂🤣 j/k. Great video though, thanks 👍
