I love seeing trains going through beautiful canyons near rivers, like in the beginning and later in Immigrant canyon. Really like your music choices in this one, well done 👏

That was really good Dan. I like the Amtrak evening catch, with the bonus wink from the UP driver. Even caught the signal change!
I liked your music choice by the way. Well done my son 😉

@9:25, just like a snake stalking its prey, only to have the prey slip by unnoticed. Superb videography as usual, Dan, you have spoiled us all... 🤘

This is another beautifully edited video. There's everything here: cool freight trains, gorgeous landscape, Amtrak train and a lovely sunset. I'm sure crews likes to work this line, because the sights are amazing from start to finish. Wonderful update Dan. I wish you and your family a very happy and successful new year. And keep up the awesome job in 2025 too.

Another wowee Dan. The meet with No. 6 was perfect. As Winnemucca was mentioned two comments: We’ve stayed there and dined at the Martin Hotel on Railroad St. Besides the view the tracks they have great Basque food. My father-in-law was flying in a group of B-25’s transiting from Hamilton Field, CA to Boise, ID. When over the Winnemucca radio fix they received the communication that Pearl Harbor had been attacked. Upon arrival in Boise the bomber crews were ordered to re-fuel and depart for Alaska-life plans changed instantly.

So many great videos posted lately and I love them all...I wanted to say on this one I really like the time of day you shot this...we get to see more colors in the area and for me this was really a little extra special and the low light at the end with the engine with its lights on was a great finish...thank you for making my holidays extra happy!!!

Dan, your camera technique is impressive!

At about 6 minutes in, you mention the Valmy power station; the Valmy formation is a geologically-important unit relevant to gold extraction in this area. As always, beautiful scenery, with musical serenity layered on. I can't thank you enough for your creativity and production/technical expertise. As I frequently mention, it's a little sad for me, as I can't get to these landscapes conveniently, any more.

Thank you, Dan, for this wonderful video of the westbound Union Pacific loaded grain train heading to California through the part of the Grea Basin in Nevada on 2 August 2024! I enjoyed watching the train as it travels along the Humboldt River west of Raglan, Nevada. The drone footage was magnificent. I was overwhelmed at seeing the meet with Amtrak's eastbound California Zephyr toward the end of the video. That was great planning on your part. Your drone did an excellent job of capturing the grain train in the low light of the waning day. What was the Interstate Highway that kept appearing in this video?
