Interesting to see the car types and open loads, what they really looked like and also the reality of the derailments of that route. Any idea what the location is?

Wow...nice video. Which customer were the covered hoppers coming from?

Probably a grain or feed dealer in around Eureka

I can't see the video yet, but covered hoppers were common on EUKA for a few years, transporting inbound cement to a bulk dealer in Eureka.

Santa Fe was a cement car, the SSW was feed or grain

26 cars. The NWP would be happy to get this many cars now. Hopefully someday....

According to my conductor, who worked there for some years, the meet was at Fort Seward and the derailment a few miles north of there.

Great location info.

I was in that area enough times to regret not having found sme of these interesting locations and at least a few photos along the Eel. I did get a few around Willits, just makes it more frustrating.

NWP probably gets that many cars in one month.

To be hardcore NWP north end took patience. One train a day, up one day down the next and if there was a slide, it threw the system out of wack
