First time viewer, good camera work. Let the scene do the talking. Unless it's really important to the shot? Shh...
I understand, not all of the train videos have me mentioning anything in them. Thanks' for saying something and I appreciate you subbing.
I love the smell of walking through a forest of pine trees.🌲
Thats exactly what I'm doing, is jus stopping and taking in all the incredible smells! The sun kinda warms things up and everything just smells so killer! the cedars are my favorite
@TerraExplorations I always loved a good campfire when you're using pine.the smell of the resin burning and the constant crackling of the fire 🔥 creates a memorable experience...
Great video
Happy Saturday Westley!
All aboard! 🚆
Great catch and nice video
Happy Friday Westley!
another great video brother 🤙
Appreciate you stopping by the channel bro!
Good one, TE! 👍
Hey man nice to have ya! those fires we had really put a wrench in the summertime trips. are we gonna get to see ya again on a vid? really sorry about Mo, he was a big part of the crew. I hope that won't stop you from enjoying being out there anymore.
@TerraExplorations Thanks for the kind words about Mo! I've been doing some camping...I've just been too lazy to video it beyond video for my own memories. I'm actually camping out tonight! No fires allowed, unfortunately....a burn ban is in effect in Maryland, which is the first time I've ever heard of that 🤔 Normally I don't stress over such stuff, but it's indeed a tinderbox out there....I'll make no fire! Stay well! 👍
Feels good to hear that brother. camping tonight! man that sounds great! I hope ya have a killer time out there. interesting thing about the ban, with it being all dead and dry I'm surprised I never heard of a ban in fall before either?
My mom had an outdoor freezer that she kept covered with a plastic table cloth and she used to put the cats kibble in a bowel on top. One evening we came home late and when Mom walked passed freezer she began petting and talking to the cat. Suddenly she discovered it wasn't our cat but a possum. She shrieked scared the possum and they both ran in the opposite directions.
Now that is funny! Thank you so much for visiting my channel that really gave me a chuckle😁
What beautiful nature you have there my friend :) Sitting there with the radio is the best thing to do relaxing 73!
I just love spending summer here! I only had my small radio, but the reception is really awesome up here. at home I can only pick up Asia for a few hours in the morning 05:00 till maybe 08:00? I just clipped a speaker wire to the antenna and attached it to my Bo Staff.
Love the scenery...
If it weren't for Field and Stream and HighTimes I'd probably still be in Texas.
Good morning
Good morning and Happy Halloween
Looks like a pretty chill spot.
This area is known for its Bigfoot sightings (The Bigfoot Hiway) and yes, it was a cool camp till fire took it over.
Great video
Thank you!
Good morning
Happy Monday to you!
Good morning
A good morning and a happy Friday to you!
There are a ton of trains in my area.ecspecially in the downtown area.
I bet, especially up there where you are at! could be really cool chillin by a fire at night and hearing them like ya did on that camp.
Good catch, TE! Our trees are changing color here, and the long, slog of winter will soon be upon us. My ol' dog passed away in February, and I've not felt like doing much. But recently I've been itching to get out camping, myself. Thanks for sharing! The West Coast is "God's country"....unparalleled beauty! 👍
Dang it! Sorry, TE and Juggalo! I didn't mean to jump into the thread. I do that all the time 😫
Aw man I'm so sorry to hear about that. I was wondering why I haven't seen ya in awhile.
All those containers are probably going to Seattle
I'm always wondering where these are coming and going. Thank you for commenting!✌🏼
That conductor was my son 😊
It was nice to have actually met a rail worker, he was really friendly and had plenty to talk about. I wish I would have asked him about more stuff, but he had alot of walking in the dark to do. Thank you for visiting my channel!
shared 4 ya
Right on! Thank you
I've heard of a wake and bake,but damn.that's crazy!
The sky was just full of soot and ash as the temp dropped sixteen degrees. I had to bail outta there after a few hours the smoke was burning my throat, and the ash and soot was just covering everything.
@@TerraExplorations that's crazy.I probably wouldn't be able to camp due to my asthma.
That sucks man, yea it was just awful I had to call it and just get outta there it was so bad.
Great video
Thanks for stopping by!
Good morning
Good morning, Westley and Happy Friday to you!
Those conductors do some walking! Am glad they're nice folk. Crazy about the smoke! I've only experienced that once, here in Maryland....summer of 2023, I think, from the Canadian fires. Did the Amtrak come through? 😊 👍 Good one, TE!
He didn't seem to mind, guess it was better than just waiting in the unit. we talked for a good bit every time he would walk by. I thought it was pretty ballsy walking around in the dark up here with just the light of his cell phone. Yeah, those fires are really bad, you can see how it just darkens the sky. The soot and ash are what really makes things really unbearable! Yes, we did get some traffic rolling by!
floofy sniffer
I was able to pick one up as a baby and it was pretty soft n' fluffy. lol
Fantastic Video! Super good!
I'm happy you enjoyed it! Thanks for visiting!
Why don't the train owners grease the wheel bearings. That is a lot of steel on steel friction going on.
There are greaser boxes set up here but they don't really take out all the flange squeal do they? lol Thanks for commenting and visiting my channel!
The bearings aren't squealing, it's the wheels against the rails
What's crazy is that I didn't even know we've been having issues with wildfires this year.glad you were able to get out to enjoy the day.
Oh man, the whole NW was on fire here! it was the worst this year with over 20 fires and choking smoke everywhere. after June the fires start everywhere here so ya gotta get out and enjoy summer while you can up here. Reason I get really torqued when I find smoldering campfires left by the flatlanders... statewide fire ban, 85+ degrees, and people have to have a campfire.
@TerraExplorations I won't pay for cable,so I get most of my news from online.so that's probably why I haven't heard about the fires.I know last year you could see and smell the smoke from Canada's wildfires in Ohio.
Me too, online or the radio. You're right, British Columbia had it real bad, and all the rest of Canada was just a smoking blaze. California gets pretty scary as well.
Good morning
Good morning Westley and happy Sunday to you!
Wo, those water tankers are cool! The cages and nozzles: are they actually able to fight fire from the tank car? Crazy. That's an awesome catch! 😮
Yeah, way cool I thought! I will have to see if they have anything on here showing them using a rig like this. It looks pretty really interesting... imagine being on top of that thing and being pulled through a forest fire? lol! We had over twenty wildfires here, some from lightning and some from people deliberately setting them. Over 180 head of cattle killed by an arson in eastern Oregon.
Nice video,,,,,,,,
Thank you so much for visiting my channel and commenting!
Saya juga suka video kereta api..terima kasih sudah berbagi
Thank you, my friend! I have a little bit of everything on here of things I like to do and share with everyone.😁
Takes a grass like no problem
Yes, it does. I actually was able to feed one of the smaller ones and hold it for a short time.... Gouda Cheese and pieces of apple it liked. Thank you for visiting my channel and commenting!
Heads up tomorrow mornings Amtrak may have Heritage/Anniverary unit 301 leading if u can catch it!
Nice video... 👍
This is how our summers are cut so short. after snowmelt ya got maybe a couple of weeks before the fires start. I missed all of July and August this year.
✌️✌️✌️
The fires sure did a number on this tour
@TerraExplorations that's messed up. we don't have issues like that where I'm from.hope things pan out for you in the future...
What a nice place being there in the nature and get lost. We do not have that luxury in Malta as everyday, the few trees and greenery left is being turned into roads, pavements and housing. Glad that you have that healthy nature there buddy. Enjoy your times :)
It's the same thing here brother, everything where I live is owned by Logging companies and is gated, day use only and is on video surveillance... only because people dump trash and set fires. I drive 175 miles and camp out here for 6-7 days to get these videos. only after the snow melts up there and there are no fires.
Good morning
Good morning to you and a Happy Friday!
Good one, TE! Yowza, the trees are so different from here on the east coast. Watch out for those fires! 👍
Funny, I can always tell by the trees what part of the states folks are videoing from. Yes, the fires are really bad this year.... some lit intentionally. The soot and ash got so thick just covering everything, and the smoke just burned your throat n lungs.
Hahah yeah 1930 lol well nice talking to you too and yes that was a day lmao
It was an interesting evening for sure, I was havin a great time. The next day was jus awful! I went to check for nails at the wye (rail wasn't as old as I thought) and it was just raining soot n ash! It got dark and cooler cause the smoke was so thick I had to go. should be nicer in a couple of weeks, I'll try to get up there again.
Dang well they must have replaced those then at some point we'll good luck on ur next adventure
Thanks, I'll be lookin for ya!
Good morning
Good morning and Happy Friday to you!

How did all this happen?
Are you listening to a scanner? What type? That train was rideable😊
I'm using a BF-F8HP, I got the rest of the info from the Conductor. I'm up there for a week usually with my truck and gear to get these vids... it's always so tempting!
Tomorrow's northbound 14 should have Federal Railroad Administration car in the consist,Heads up!
Thanks for the heads up on that one! ... the smoke up there is just so bad right now.
Wo, great point of view! 😮👍
Thanks, one of my first spots.

Always wanted to camp at Odell Lake/Cascade Summit area!
Gorgeous area I say go for it! we should have a coupla weeks here and there next month of some great weather still.🤞🏼
Cool video and great scenery! Overall great!
I appreciate that very much, and thank you for visiting my channel! Yes, it's a great place to be if you really like the wilderness. eight months of rain, over twelve feet of snow, and fires make the season short unfortunately. Thanks for stopping by!✌🏼
