Thanks Mike for all you videos.
I must say as a WP rail fan I don't really like the paint scheme. Never had a white WP on the nose nor did they have the all the Stripes with the WP on the nose, WP had Orange staggered WP on Green nose had a one Orange Stripe below the WP on the nose and a orange stripe on the pilot and when WP went new image the had Green WP straight across the Orange nose. So I would rather UP had used one of the real WP paint schemes, and I am not an SD70ACe fan anyway living close to the UP tracks their horns are too loud. Would love to see a ET44 with the new image paint scheme.

1988 is my favorite of the UP heritage locomotives because the Missouri Kansas-Texas Railroad had a large influence on my home state of Texas even when it bought out the former Rock Island line in 1980 that ran to Fort Worth at Tower 60 and then east to Dallas the right of way between Fort Worth and Dallas is used today by Trinity Railway Express One overpass bridge located in the medical market center district still where's the Rock Island Railroad logo on the side but more to the point if you can I would like for you to do the 1988 heritage unit next because the Katie is one of my favorites

Hello Mike, another superb video thanks. You really do have the knack of producing top quality material. The camera work and clarity is top notch and I have to say that for American rail videos - I am a Brit living in northern Spain - your productions are top of the list for me. Danny Harmon is next up on my list of favourites. Do I assume that the production of these videos is your sole occupation? Best wishes.

Sorry I missed this one, Mike. WP has always been a favorite of mine when it came to Western US railroads. So glad it's still here with us on a modern locomotive. Especially their iconic F units and U-boats. But, anyways, WP is a railroad I would've loved to see in its heyday. Stay safe and have a wonderful rest of the week!

Awesome video. UP1983 is definitely a beautiful locomotive- very cool how they used the colors from 2 previous railroads to come up with UP1983 livery. Thanks for the sharing the history and the beautiful scenery thru the route

Awesome video. I recently did a preorder of Kato's N scale WP Heritage unit. The Feather River route is the layout I look forward to building the most when I can. Do you have model trains, Mike?

Do you have any video on the BNSF commemorative 25th anniversary units? I realize that they may not be true commemorative units, it would be cool to see a video from you as you do a great job.

Cool! I saw 1983 a few days ago. Unfortunately, I was working at the time and couldn't chase it down and get some pictures. It was much dirtier than when it was filmed for this vid.
