Union Pacific's Caliente Subdivision [Las Vegas NV to Milford UT]
(Originally released in 2020)
Union Pacific’s Caliente Subdivision etches a course across the arid deserts and deep canyons of the American Southwest. It is the centerpiece of UP’s Los Angeles & Salt Lake Route running 240 miles between Las Vegas, Nevada and Milford, Utah.
This is a solitary route winding through a remote country that has changed little since the rails were laid in the early 1900’s. Modern high-horsepower diesels pull twelve thousand foot stack trains past the bleached bones of old ghost towns nearly forgotten. Sheer canyon walls echo the deep bark of GE’s and throb of EMD’s lugging loads of coal, autos, iron ore, containers, trailers, and mixed freight.
Trains tunnel throu...

    As always, a great video with great history and information. You really stand out by narrating all aspects of the railroad you're filming from town history, history of the RR and any unique info on locomotives, and taking a moment to showcase an industry that works with the railroad (in this case, logging) was unique and I encourage more of that. I find films on shorelines and regionals so interesting and a nice change of pace from the typical focus on the class 1's. Will you be considering the WLE for future films?

    If you visit Portland again, make sure you’re able to make it to the Columbia River Gorge Model Railroad club layout. It’s a few blocks away from the Steel Bridge and has a huge HO layout based in the Gorge area. It’s in an old freight depot and has open visits during the winter holidays. I’m sure they’d let you come anytime though if you contacted them! But as always, wonderful video!

    The NWP pulled out of western Marin and Sonoma County (north of SF) in the 1930's. Having hiked some of the more obscure portions of the former ROW, I imagine this is how the trains would run if the lines were still active.
