Explore Union Pacific's Oregon Short Line Route between Pocatello and Montpelier, Idaho. The classic western backdrop of eastern Idaho creates a beautiful setting for trains to run through.
This program begins with an incredible aerial view of UP's Pocatello Yard then follows the main line eastward along the winding course of the Portneuf River. The railroad follows the old Oregon Trail as it negotiates canyons, mountains, and valleys. It passes small western communities and towns, most of which are deeply tied to the railroad.
The Pocatello Sub is an important connection between the Overland Route at Granger, Wyoming and the Pacific Northwest. Long stack trains frequent the line, along with a mix of manifests and unit soda ash, grain, and tank trains. Locals also serve industry at Soda Springs, Bancroft, and Montpelier.
Big diesel power includes a great mix of rebuilt General Electric AC's now classified as AC4400CWM's sporting UP's newest paint scheme. Along wit |
