Featuring • Montana Rail Link • Eastern Idaho Railroad • Union Pacific 4014 Big Boy & UP 844 • Boise Valley Railroad

See great Northwest Shortline & Regional Railroad action along with UP Big Boy steam across the scenic and mountainous states of Montana, Idaho and Wyoming. See the Montana Rail Link gas local and freights out of Missoula and Helena, MT with diesel power ranging from GP9 to SD70ACe's. The Eastern Idaho railroads north and south divisions are covered with yard switching, locals and road freights. The Boise Valley Railroad starts along the UP mainline at Nampa, ID as we follow the Boise turn job along its 25 mile route that also passes by the beautifully restored ex UP Boise Depot. Plus as an added bonus, we caught the Union Pacific 4014, a 4-8-8-4 Big Boy on its inaugural trip out of Cheyenne, WY. This train also ran as a double header with UP 844, a 4-8-4 Northern. Rail footage is the spring of 2019 from the camera of Bradley A. Plets.

In part 1 of this series from 2019, there is a big variety of steam & diesel action in Montana, Idaho, & Wyoming which all of these scenes were captured in the final year of the 2010s decade. The segments shown in order are 1. Montana Rail Link with BNSF, & Norfolk Southern, Plus Northern Pacific 4-6-0 number 1382 on display at Helena. 2. Eastern Idaho Railroad. 3. The Inaugural Run of Union Pacific Big Boy 4014 from Cheyenne Wyoming to Ogden Utah with 844 on a Double-Header to participate in the 150th Anniversary of the Golden Spike. Some other Railroad video producers were also on the 4014/844 double-header: 7Idea, Revelation Video, Pentrex, Trains Magazine, the late TJ Weber of Belt Line Productions, Mike Armstrong, Jim Parfrey of Steam Train Videos, & both producers of America By Rail: Les Jarrett of Railway Productions, & the multi-camera crew of the late Greg Scholl: Bill Rogers, Scott Griggs, Daren Guneau, & Narrator Chris Kovacs. There is a blooper however that Brad says that Challenger 3985 was converted to oil in the 80s, when he should've meant 1990. Some of Brad's Angles of 4014 & 844 was also shown in another title: Steam Smoke & Thunder Volume 2. And 4. The Boise Valley Railroad with 2-8-2 number 2295 sitting on display.
