Visit beautiful Oregon and Union Pacific's three heavy mainline grades through the Blue Mountains! In this program, you'll start at the Snake River and the Idaho state line, traveling over the mountains to Pendleton.

Along the way, you'll see trains crossing three steep mainline grades, Encina Hill, Telocaset Hill, and Kamela Hill.

This is UP's main route to the Pacific Northwest, and you'll see everything from locals to manifests to doublestack intermodals. This program was shot in late February, and the weather was unpredictable. One moment bright sunshine, the next heavy snow!

If you like contemporary railroading in a mountain setting, then this program is for you!

Running time 1 hour, 48 minutes. DVD features chapter menus and narration on/off.

This 2011 DVD features mainline freight trains battling up on one of the most steepest climbs in Northwestern railroading history. Some Clips from "844 Still Going Strong" is also included. And unfortunately, this was the Final Railway Productions video to have Lane Venardos narrating. Starting with Narrow Gauge Adventure, and Western Maryland Autumn Steam onwards the following October of 2011, Les Jarrett Himself is back in the narrating Business.

I wonder if the previous two reviewers watched the same program I did. I didn't think there was nearly enough narration. There were printed squibs naming towns trains were passing through with elevations, but even that wasn't true in all cases. One train had a car which appeared to have a hot box as smoke was pouring from one of its trucks, yet nary a word about it. I watched it in Blue Ray and I don't think even that was used to its fullest in a countryside which was made for Blue Ray. On balance a so-so DVD, IMO.

Additional remarks by Rail Buff:
Narration: Could have used more.
Would kids enjoy this? I doubt it.
Image quality: Good.
DVD Value:: Fair.

This is an awesome DVD I really enjoyed watching the photography is excellent as is the informative narration that keeps the viewer informed. Anybody who likes big time Union Pacific main line action its all here from stacks to racks and plenty of manifest freights. A++++
