ervans: The P42 is for dynamic braking. I think it's required by law

TheMantisTycoon: K well that makes the video all the ways awesome

ervans: Thanks

jinu03: Good Catch ! Thanks ! 5stars!

ervans: Thanks

welder541: Hey ervans, What does dynamic braking mean??? Ive heard the term before but never understood it. Thanks alot. good video. I lived in the gorge near bridel veil for a time. Really loved all the train activity.

ervans: Dynamic braking is the use of the electric traction motors of a railroad vehicle as generators when slowing the vehicle

welder541: Hey Thanks I learned something. Now i understand where that high pitch whine comes from. Those generators!!!

pseacke: Thanks so much. I was born in Portland Oregon and lived there all my life. Moved to the South 5 years ago. This is a little taste of home. Thanks again.

spudmuffin1959: My Dad was the Oilman on this train in Portland. This just brings back memories when I was a child and seeing this train still running is such a warm feeling. Thank you for doing this.

switzerlicious: 18 cars. Don't tell me I'm the only one who's counted!

ervans: I think so

cochranexyz: Nice! People actually able to poke their heads out the windows, too.

ervans: Yes, and most of them were taking my picture

Alexvideoclip: 17, count again

switzerlicious: Oh yeah, guess I shouldn't have counted the engine as a car. ;)

Drewster327: WOW suprising No mile long pacing line, I guess everyone was 4449ed out from the eastbound trip

ervans: This is as far east as I went, and I only got one shot. There was no way to catch it again on it way to Portland
