The Amazing Feather River Railroads-see the Seven Railroad Wonders of the World!

- One of great railroad routes in the world. This film was done in 2009, one of the last busy years for this route. That's because the Union Pacific Railroad made the Donner Pass tunnel larger so it would accomodate the container trains and now many of those trains go over Donner Pass, not down the Feather River. You can still see trains there, such as coal and grain and manifests, but not the heavy traffic you'll see in this program. Thanks for enjoying it!

Used to love walking the tracks through uninhabited areas. Just enjoying the quiet and solitude of being alone with my thoughts and at peace from the cluttered world.
I worked as a Conductor going from Roseville Ca. to Portola through the Feather River Canyon with the Southern Pacific and now Union Pacific. Pretty scenery.
So did my dad.
some of the most amazing engineering feats are only ever seen by train drivers, great video thanks
Feather river is an absolutely amazing rout, rather you cab ride, passenger train, or hop a freight, one of the most beautiful routs I have ever personally ridden.
Back in the day, I remember the all streamlined, silver, California Zephyr storming out of the Feather River Canyon, reaching a top speed of 120 MPH. One of the most beautiful sights in the world!!
I remember the California Zephyr as well. I rode the train a lotta times.
yea would like to that 120 mph on feather river route LOL. Total BS
Feather river system is amazing
It's rare to have such a perfect blend of nature and technology.
I used to joy-ride between Oroville and Portola. Still remember the long tunnels and awesome views.
Never ending respect for the people who built/d and maintain railroads.
Arthur Keddie was a genius. The Western Pacific was his idea/dream, and he was designer of what is now known as the Keddie Wye.
The greatness of nature is so great that the bridges and the train look like toys. Superb video guides us where we can not go.
I went to highschool in Oroville and Jr high in Quincy. Lived a few places along highway 70 in the feather river canyon. I loved it there and want to go back when I retire. I miss the trains and the beautiful canyon places.
Amazing feather river rail roads,best videos.Train journey is most entertaining journey comparing to other means.Thanks to all railway employees who dedicated their lives for railways.
thanks for this, i always loved trains
Amazing
Thankyou very much for a thoroughly professional offering .It makes me very relaxed to watch the procession of Iron Horses.
Beautiful scenic views with these trains.
What an amazing collection of railroad infrastructure!
The Scenery Is so Beautiful.
Wow! .... You are right at where these trains are at! Take care!
I miss this stretch of hwy. Living in Plumas County, I had to travel along Feather River. Beautiful. Just beautiful. Thanks.
I just love US railroads. Great stuff guys!!
One of the best railroad videos I have seen
This is another example of why Northern California is such a great place to live and work.

Thanks for a great video - it was spectacular!
One of the absolute best railroading video's I've seen on TH-cam. Loved you getting that crew change out in the middle of nowhere. Great!
This video was just...way cool !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! And unlike some of your other "admirers", thanks for gettong close to those trains!!!!!!!!!!
Super cool ! GOD bless you !
I used to go trout fishing on the Feather, mostly the tributary streams. Chips creek, Chambers creek, Spanish creek and a nice inflow just about under the trestle at Tobin. Can't remember the name of it. Hung out a bit at Tobin when it was in business. Not a bad watering hole. Hauled lumber out of Quincy for a good many years. The Feather River highway was about as interesting for an 18 wheeler as the railroad was for a locomotive. Rocks! Damned rocks and slides. As they said, slow going. Well, no point in trying to hurry, there was always another corner ahead.
Rode the California Zephyr to Chicago, lo those many years ago. Army days back in the early 60s. Train ticket from Sacramento to Ayer, Mass was $78.00 if I recall correctly. Brings back some memories. Drinking gin with the off duty conductor(?) in a forward car heading down the Eastern slope of the Continental Divide. Asked him how fast we were going and he said about 103-105 mph on that stretch. I was impressed. Changing trains in Chicago. Ah hell, wish that I could do it all over again.
Great video. Thanks for posting.
Amazing video! Makes my heart thump with anticipation to visit this area.
Awesome video, The great US railroads and scenery, a truly industrious nation,
This was pretty amazing and I loved the scenery, it reminds me of the old west.
Amazing !
Thanks for the upload as a signal engineer i loved it.
Something most Reno/Sparks folks have never seen. Myself included. It's winter and it looks like summer there. Love trains.
Thanks ,like your video!
Great Job! This was sooo cool! Thanks for sharing with us!!

This is why i want to become a train engineer, working with the equipment, but mostly going on the track that leads u to these amazing views in the mountain, beautiful i tell u what!
Amazing footage, Will have to agree with the seven railroad wonders of the world, Thanks
That looks amazing.
I have driven past the Keddie Wye dozens of times, along with the other sites. Amazing to see them on video.
cool video. gotta love them trains.
Great work, Ladybug, those are amazing places!
I wish I was on that train...I L O V E trains. Thanks 4 the vid...
I live in Sweden. fun to se railway in other country. Well done movie!
Truly an amazing route. Unique in all of train-dom. I've wanted to actually go see it for myself for a long time. I hope I get to sometime. Thanks for posting this! And yes, requires slow speeds alright .... good brakes in one direction, and, a ton of fuel in the other.
I like the crew change mascot, LOL!
i appreciate your film. thanks.
Wow!! I like trains, but Im watching the scenery more!!!
Been to feather river falls..... beautiful!!
Great post,thanks Ladybug.
This video is spectacular! It's hard to imagine the effort that went into it. Thanks for sharing.
It would be great to be an engineer, you get to see a lot of scenery that you cant see from the roads/highways.
Thanks for sharing this.

Men, this was fantastic, such a great adventure.
I expected for centuries for a movie like this, once this complex of Feather River was not clear to me how it functions.
Thank you.
Thanks. Nice Video.
That was pretty damn good.
I am sure all those containers enjoyed the splendid views. This used to be a passenger line operated by the Western Pacific railroad. I took it many times.
I rode thru years ago on original California Zephyr with Western Pacific on their section of the train Awesome.
Great stuff. Good seeing those patched units of the Q, GN, NP & SP&S! Being from the midwest, I never have been out there to see the wye live.
I have this route as add-on in MS Train Sim, and it is a fun trip through very accurate representation of the route, including all the famous bridge and tunnel landmarks.
Very nice work! interesting sites and narratives ! Thanks! Enjoyed!
Wow, this was really cool to watch!!!! Would love to go along for the ride some day....thanks for sharing!!
Very nice!
Great video!
Awesome video!
Great stuff
Realy they are great !!!
I love your passion
I live in England and love the trains in your country. great vidio. Well done!
Nice video, thanks for sharing.
Excellent video
Wonderful video.
One thing this vid shows is the amazing skill and daring of those who built this rail track bridges and crossovers awesome scenery this would be a great place to run a tourist train
I loved to see this video! Shot in a variaty of angles and rich in sounds! It gives a good view of the situation and the colors are spectacular! Nice commentary too!!! Thanks and greetings from the south of Chile!
Beautiful. Compliments from Holland.
I will be driving thru that canyon this afternoon. Great drive really. Nice vid. I think the automobile road is almost as spectacular in many areas.
great scenery
on that ride ..it was quiet in the pullman car as people readied themselves for sleep. Then, from one upper, came my voice: "i'll have you know i'm a respectable man, so one of you girls will have to leave." hahahaha
Nice video. I work the BNSF side of this run and it is truly amazing. Thank you for the posting, I shared it to facebook to show distant relatives and friends what amazing work I have.
Great vid. Thanks for sharing.........
By far one of the best rail-fan vids I've seen. My compliments to you =)
Excellent training, dude!
