The Willamette Valley (/wᵻˈlæmᵻt/) is a 150-mile (240 km) long valley in the Pacific Northwest region of the United States, located entirely within the state of Oregon. The valley forms the cultural and political heart of Oregon and is home to approximately 70 percent of its population including Portland, its largest city, as well as Salem, the state capital. The Willamette River flows the entire length of the valley, which is surrounded by mountains on three sides - the Oregon Coast Range to the west, the Cascade Range to the east, and the Calapooya Mountains to the south.
The valley's numerous waterways, particularly the Willamette River, remain vitally important to the economy of Oregon, as they continuously deposit highly fertile alluvial soils across its broad, flat plain. A massively productive agricultural area, the valley was widely publicized in the 1820s as a 'promised land of flowing milk and honey'. Throughout the 19th century it was the destination of choice for the oxen-drawn wagon trains of emigrants who made the perilous journey along the Oregon Trail.

A bold video not for the faint of patience. This is reality. This is what I consider THE reference video of what Willamette Valley railfanning stands for. Small carloads, single engines, and railroads working just to make ends meet and serve their customers to the best of their ability. Follow along as Willamette Valley Railway 2503, one of the railroads two locomotives, switches cars in Woodburn, Oregon then heads to Mount Angel with a work train. Debris is removed from a recent rail and tie replacement project. Finally a closeup of rails that have been in service for a hundred years are shown in detail.
Union Pacific, Portland & Western, Willamette Valley Railway, Amtrak, and Amtrak Cascades make railfanning in the Valley fun and always interesting. Let's take a tour of the Valley and see what we can find. This variety of footage was shot in only three days time in March 2012.
A special treat to celebrate achieving my 1000th sub goal! Sit back, relax, and enjoy the rarest of Willamette Valley railfanning.

Small does not even begin to describe the central Willamette valley town of Shedd. But for so many trains on the Brooklyn Sub it is a common meeting point. This video is just an afternoon of action in this small town and a few others spent soaking up the warm summer sun. Enjoy.
