Visit the famous Feather River Canyon in this exciting production on the Union Pacific's Feather River Route. Once owned by the Western Pacific, the entire system was purchased by the Union Pacific Railroad in 1982. Improvements were immediately started on the line which resulted in dramatic traffic increases over the entire railroad, including the Feather River Canyon. In this captivating production, you'll see a variety of trains making their way through this beautiful area in the Sierra Nevada Mountains of California. Coverage includes double-stack and intermodal trains, unit grain trains, steel trains and others winding their way along the vertical cliffs of the canyon. Pentrex covers all the well-known landmarks such as the Keddie Wye, Williams Loop, James, Clio Trestle, Pulga and many others.
The Western Pacific Railroad is gone, but the tradition lives on as ever-increasing numbers of Union Pacific trains work their way through the canyon.
