Railroaders work hard on the Gateway Sub, a place of awesome landscapes and exciting railroad operations. Now BNSF’s Gateway Subdivision, this former Western Pacific highline is known for its beautiful scenery – and isolation. Much of the line is dark territory where crews run via Track Warrant Control and manually operate switches after meeting other trains. Traveling aboard a BNSF freight train between Keddie, California and Klamath Falls, Oregon, the journey along the Inside Gateway takes you past Pit River Canyon and other areas accessible only by train.
The ride along the former Great Northern track above Bieber is a fast-paced run through pine forests and across the semi-arid lands to the north, with stunning vistas of Mt. Lassen and Mt. Shasta in the distance. The Gateway Sub plays an important role in BNSF’s overall strategy and traffic levels are at record highs. Scenes taken from trackside and aboard the cab show the variety of trains sent over the line, crossing high trestles, passing through tunnels, crawling up steep grades, and rounding sharp curves on an incredible journey. Get ready to experience stunningly beautiful trackage while Runnin’ the Highline!

Great footage of a leisurely run through beautiful countryside. This would make a wonderful addition to anyone’s collection.

Along the way, there are other road names like Union Pacific, EMD, Southern Pacific, & bypassing the since been closed McCloud railway.
There is also a cab ride on a BNSF Dash 9-44CW number 739 leading a mixed freight from Barstow to Pasco known as Train H-BARPAS. The driver that’s taking the throttle is Richard Mitts, & the conductor for the same freight is Tim Britton. Behind the Pumpkin are a trio of Santa Fe Blue & Yellow Units.

Excellent Cab Ride Video. Almost all Tripod Mounted footage in the cab so it’s easy to watch. Way before the line got CTC so having to reverse to pick up the conductor after doing a meet is interesting. A very scenic route with plenty of trees, forests and animals. An all around nice program to watch. And as usual the Pentrex narrator is good to listen to for information.

Another great production by Pentrex. Here is a video filled with scenery, and wildlife, in the rugged mountain terrain. with high running, and cuts, valleys and lakes, and the snow capped hills, there is rarely any straight track for any distance, combined with plenty of grades. Occasionally the odd ranch appears to open up the landscape adding even more variety. With on ground shots and cab rides through out the video, we see the line from all angles. Add in the various paint schemes of BNSF, plenty of meets with trains in sidings, maps along the way, even showing the agricultural areas, and You have a great video that will be enjoyed for years to come. An excellent video that will be rated high as a favorite in the collection.

Much like going to KC, although this one predates it, it is very well done, ground shots, lots of good narration and plenty of awesome action.

Really liked the video. Once again had really nice cab footage riding from the famous Keddie Wye to Klamath Falls Oregon. Some nice scenic ground shots are thrown in to keep things interesting. Maps and narration really make it a good video.
