The late great U. Utah Phillips often talked about about the 'Bo whose moniker was Hood River Blackie. Now I know where Ol' Hood River started his career so to speak. Thank you for this wonderful video!!!

Great video Jim. Sure brought back warm memories of my 3 times having rode this train. I was very fortunate to ride on the full scenic dome cars that once plied these rails.

Oh god… the mount hood got a new locomotive I thought they only had 88 and 02
@Trainlover1995

Actually, 2250 is the only locomotive they have now. Iowa Pacific idiotically pledged the entire Mount Hood fleet as security for several large loans from Sandton Capitol, and when they defaulted in 2020, all of the equipment was repossessed and put up for sale at Ozark Mountain. The new owner of the Mount Hood managed to get almost the entire passenger car fleet back, with at least one car now being in the hands of the Oregon Coast Scenic Railway. 02 was sold to the Denver Rock Island Railroad in Colorado, and I have no idea where 88 went. The current owner of the Mount Hood is working to unravel the mess Ed Ellis left behind, and has some great plans to preserve and enhance the operation. The future for the Mount Hood Railroad looks bright.

This is the first time that you take a ride on the Mount Hood Railroad passenger train lead by an EMD GP-38 Dash 3 diesel locomotive #2250 up front in Hood River, Oregon. What train in the Pacific Northwest are you going on next in the future? As always, I am Thomas Comeau and I will see the replies from you, Jim Zim!

So you stopped in Pine Grove, eh? I live just a bit further down the track in the town of Odell. I wondered where the train was running to lately since, judging by how overgrown the tracks are getting here, its plainly not making it as far as it often used to when it would stop in Odell and/or Parkdale. Glad you enjoyed it!

In this video, you and your wife are riding on a passenger train over the Hood River in Oregon known as the Mount Hood Railroad. Pretend that the G scale Santa Fe Super Chief passenger train lead by an EMD F7 diesel locomotive #202 from LGB is the Mount Hood Railroad passenger train. And pretend that the brown cardboard box is the train depot in Hood River, Oregon. What is in that brown cardboard box back at the house in Washington state? As always, I am Thomas Comeau and I will see the replies from you, Jim Zim!

Thanks for the ride, Jim! BTW, If you don't mind. What's the going price range on a ranch style house, something like yours or smaller in Washington, Oregon areas, these days? And are those on a basement foundation or cement pad? The country out there is so beautiful. I hope you enjoy your new home, it looks like a wonderful neighborhood. Once again, Thank You for the video, no mountains here in the midwest.

For new construction, they would start at about $625,000 in our area. Pre-existing homes can sell for quite a bit less, because lumber cost less in previous years. Our home is on a foundation with a crawl space under it. I don't know if that's how all homes here are, but that's how our builder does it.

Local operators took over from Iowa Pacific. I believe the rolling stock seen in the video is staying put, and the vista domes were sold off. 2250 is being leased from Western Rail.
