In the heart of Western Oregon, a former Southern Pacific main line traverses a long, fertile valley surrounded by the Cascade Mountains and Coast Range. Described in the 1820s as a land of “flowing milk and honey” the Willamette Valley stretches for 150 miles between the cities of Eugene and Portland. The abundant small towns, farms and factories are fastened together by a network of rails feeding an important segment of the I-5 Corridor known as the Brooklyn Sub.
Traffic on the busy main line varies from intermodal and mixed manifest trains to heavy crude oil and grain trains from Canada. A few locals switch industry and pick up interchange traffic from smaller branch lines that connect with the UP. Those railroads include: CORP, Coos Bay Rail Line, Portland & Western, Albany & Eastern, Willamette Valley Railroad and the Oregon Pacific Railroad.
Besides freight, eight Amtrak trains including the Coast Starlight and Cascades Talgos allow travelers to experience the beauty of the Beaver State. Western Oregon has a lot to offer railfans and you will see why as we tour Union Pacific’s Willamette Valley Main Line!

The kind of production that has made 7idea a favorite among railfan video aficionados: creative videography, informative narration, stunning scenery and modern railroading at its best. The Willamette Valley is home to an entertaining mix of mainline, shortline and passenger trains, and you’ll see them all. And, to no one’s surprise, 7idea has taken drone footage to a new level (pun intended). Another “must have” program from 7idea Productions.

When you think of Oregon, you picture… mountains. The Willamette Valley is a very productive agricultural belt between mountain ranges. Quite a surprise for those of us who have never been there to see it. This video is full of great action from mainline heavy trains to passenger service to shortline activity. Well done. A must have for all rail fans
