Great Northern’s historic crossing of Stevens Pass has never been easy. The first two months of 2020 proved particularly harsh as “Old Man Winter” relentlessly pounded BNSF’s Scenic Subdivision with a barrage of winter storms. This provided the perfect setting for capturing trains in punishing arctic conditions.

On the west side, we will visit Skykomish, which lies at the base of the mountain grade. From here, trains dig in for the 2.2% climb across the Foss River Trestle, over the icy waters of Deception Creek, and into Scenic and the west bore of the 7.8-mile-long Cascade Tunnel.

On the east side, trains emerge back into the wintry setting at the east portal of the Cascade Tunnel. From Berne it’s a stiff 2.2% descending grade to Merritt and Winton as the railroad navigates the foothills of the Cascades. Leaving the snow zone behind, we will tour the former railroad town of Leavenworth, which has been transformed into a Bavarian village decorated in Christmas lights for most of the winter. Bundle up and get ready for a chilling railroad adventure!

    Railroading is, at its heart, the story of man and machine against the landscape. It’s a never-ending challenge … and when trains and the landscape are caught in the grip of winter, the challenge is even greater. This is another great production from 7idea, capturing the “feel” of the struggles train crews face when dealing with mountains grades and difficult weather. The videography is flawless and there’s just the right amount of narration to add to the program while leaving room for the sound of hard-working trains. Five enthusiastic stars!

    Mountain railroading is always interesting, but in the winter…. it is extra challenging. Between the snow and the stiff grades, we witness a great battle of power to conquer the mountains. If you love winter action, you will be extremely pleased with the action in this video. And for the wife’s….. take in the scenes at Leavenworth & the Christmas lights. An awesome show.
