BNSF Railways Oregon Trunk Subdivision DVD 7ideaAlso available in Blu-Ray Disc..BNSF Railway's Oregon Trunk Subdivision stretches 220 miles between Wishram, Washington and Chemult, Oregon. This DVD will take you on a trip up the line from Chemult all the way to the Columbia River Gorge ending at Wishram Yard. Watch trains as they sprint through the pine forests of Central Oregon, roll through an ancient lava flow near Bend, cross high bridges and trestles at breath-taking locations like the famous Crooked River Bridge, and snake through the scenic Deschutes River Canyon. We will also see a few Union Pacific trains detouring off of the nearby Cascade line due to a massive mudslide. This program was taped between January and July, 2008. |

The BNSF Oregon Sub runs from Chemult OR to Wishram WA, passing through Bend OR. From Chemult, the BNSF has trackage rights on UP's Cascade Sub south to Klamath Falls OR. The Oregon Trunk runs through all sorts of spectacular scenery ranging from dense forest to sagebrush desert conditions and a rugged river canyon. This railroad line has been pretty much ignored by other producers, so kudos to 7idea Productions for taking a chance on this rarely seen railroad line. This DVD is in the 16X9 Widescreen format. The program starts at Chemult in deep snow, and works it's way north. In addition to BNSF trains, we see several UP detour trains. A massive mudslide near the summit closed UP's Cascade Sub for several months in early 2008. This sub normally sees just a few trains each day, but the UP detours make this a busy line. Highlights include the huge barren 9 square mile lava flow near Bend OR, the Crooked River Canyon arch bridge which at one time was the 2nd highest arch bridge in the USA, the Willow Creek high trestle and the Deschutes River Canyon. Interestingly, the Oregon Trunk Sub still has a lot of jointed rail. See if you can spot a rather odd mix of power on a UP train. Narration is sufficient, providing details about the railroad line and most trains. Markers are displayed for most locations. The photography is excellent, as good as it gets! The kids may or may not like this one – the trains are not moving very fast (jointed rail) and there is not much horn blowing. This is a Must Have for BNSF fans and northwestern railroad fans.

You can do either of two things, go there yourself or buy a 7idea disc from the Train Video Depot!!!!!! A superb quality feature film of a little known area. Fantastic quality that is a hallmark of 7idea productions. Ken (Oakland CA) on 2011-08-21 21:02:45.
