The Heber Valley Railroad - Heber Creeper - Drone Footage - 4K
Hey Everyone! And welcome to another video from FJX2000 Productions!
As you all know, I LOVE TRAINS! And on a last minute impulse I decided to run up and get some footage of the Heber Creeper! It is a little railroad out of Heber City, Utah that has been around since 1899! It will sure be neat when the railroad has steam locomotives running again but for now, diesel is as good as it gets.
Hope you enjoy the shots (though they aren't the best in my opinion.) And be sure to subscribe, like, and comment on the video!
See ya guys!

The Heber Valley Railroad
In February, MAK Productions took a trip to the fine state of Utah. During the trip, we decided to swing over and take a ride on the Heber Valley Railroad, home of the famous Heber Creeper. The line winds its way up the Heber Valley into the mountains of the Wasatch Range east of Salt Lake City. Come along with us as we take ride the Heber Creeper up the line and back again through a winter wonderland on a clear, cold, crisp midwinter day. This is surely a ride you won't want to miss! Watch in High Quality for best picture.

Remembering the Heber Creeper
From July of 1971 until October 1990, the Wasatch Mountain Railway the Heber Creeper operated steam-powered excursion trains through the Utah countryside from Heber City to Bridal Veil Falls. Steam locomotive No. 618, a 1907 Baldwin 2-8-0, was put into service in 1971 after sitting on display at the Salt Lake City fairgrounds for eleven years. The railroad survived until 1990, when it closed down after nearly two decades of operation. This video is from the last year of Heber Creeper operation, August 1990. No. 618 would be condemned a month later, and the final runs were made that October using diesel power. This film shows the train at Heber City, with 618 backing down through the old Heber station grounds (a bank building stands there now), and past several of the display steam locomotives. Seen to the left is Pacific Lumber 2-8-2 No. 35, which ran at Heber from 1971-1977, and Rayonier 2-6-6-2T No. 110, which never ran there and is seen without its saddle tanks (it runs at the Black Hills Central today see my other videos). We then see No. 618 out along the line with a passenger train. From trackside, 618 runs tender-first across the US-189 overpass, and then is seen downgrade in Provo Canyon. At Vivian Park, it runs around its train of yellow coaches for the return trip to Heber City. When the railroad closed in 1990 most of the equipment was sold off, including all of the passenger cars. Only a diesel locomotive and one steam locomotive (No. 618) remained out of a fleet of eleven locomotives. The depot grounds were also sold. After a three-year effort, the tracks were reopened in 1993 from Heber to Vivian Park (except for the last half-mile into Heber City and the old railroad yard, which was torn up). Today, steam locomotive 618 and the trains are operated by the State of Utah as the Heber Valley Railroad. The engineer at the throttle of 618 in this video is Craig Lacey, who is now the executive director of the Heber Valley line.

Tracks were removed from Vivian Park to provo. In this film, two steam engines, #100 and #36 were in use.

Exploring Utah: Where To Find Outdoor Adventure in Heber & Midway Utah
What is there to do in Heber, Utah? What activities are there at the Homestead in Midway, Utah? In this video, Ryan Davis tells us about some of his favorite activities in the Midway and Heber, Utah area.
The Ice Castles in Midway draw a large crowd during winter months. Every season, a totally different ice castle is built, and it is made purely out of frozen water. Ice Castles are the brainchild of Utah-based ice architect Brent Christensen, who began building small ice structures in his Alpine yard in 2008. In 2009, Christensen built his first large-scale Ice Castle at Midway’s Zermatt Resort. In the three years since, Christensen has built Ice Castles in Colorado, Minnesota, New Hampshire and varies locations in Canada, with plans to expand into New Zealand. Christensen has patterned his design for Midway after well-known geological features across the state, like slot canyons, arches and cave-like tunnels. Guests are invited to not only view the beauty of the structures but also to squeeze, squish and crawl through parts of the stunning, Narnia-like display.
Past visitors have been awed by the palatial abodes, each of which are created entirely by hand, using only icicles and water as the building medium. Millions of icicles sparkle a glacial blue by day and glow multi-colored at night with the help of thousands of LED lights embedded in the ice.To learn more about the Ice Castles and buy tickets, click here:
One of the unique activities at our Midway Utah Resort is our one-of-a-kind Homestead Crater. The Crater is a geothermal spring, hidden within a 55-foot tall, beehive-shaped limestone rock located on the Homestead property. Over 10,000 years in the making, The Crater formed when melting snow on the Wasatch Mountains seeped deep within the earth. Two miles below the surface, the earth’s interior heated the water. As it percolated upward, it picked up minerals, which were then deposited on the surface — eventually forming the volcano-shaped limestone deposit called The Homestead Crater. The hole at the top of the dome lets in sunlight and fresh air while the interior stays heated by the mineral water at a constant range of 90 – 96 degrees Fahrenheit. Visitors can take tours, swim, scuba dive, and take SUP yoga classes in the crater. To learn more about the Homestead Crater, click here:
The Crater Springs Golf Course at the Homestead is a par 72 course measuring 7,095 yards from the back tees and plays 5,091 yards from the forward tees. Golfers of all skill-levels can come to the golf course and enjoy beautiful surroundings while they play. To learn more about Crater Springs Golf Course, click here:

The North Pole Express on the Heber Valley Railroad (former D&RGW Provo Canyon Branch)
A day late for Christmas, but it's up!
In this video we follow the Heber Valley Railroad's North Pole Express with eight cars and two cabooses from Heber to Soldier Hollow, with stops at the Conanville Road crossing, Provo River Bridge and Snake Creek trestle. The locomotive is an EMD-built MRS-1 developed during the Korean War to be used in foreign countries, essentially an SD7 shoved into a much smaller British loading gauge.

Utah's Heber Valley Railroad Train at Baseball Park (Salt Lake City Bees)
This was pretty funny, I was at a baseball game in Salt Lake City in the middle of 2011. I had great seats behind home plate. I looked out past the outfield and saw what looked like a little tractor hauling kids back and forth from left field to right field and back.
It turns out it was the Heber Valley Railroad's way of advertising at the baseball game. This was great, I shot a little cell phone video, so the quality is not anywhere near my usual Canon HD footage. Enjoy.
