Trains and City Skylines

All over North America, trains pass through cities of various sizes. City skylines can often provide interesting backdrops to the railroads that pass by them. They are, in a sense, a portrait of the city. In this video, we will take a look at trains passing by famous city skyline scenes in over 30 different cities in the US and Canada.

My favorite clip is the Portland one if only because 90340's horn is pure ear candy, but these are all some pretty nice shots in their own right :)

[AMTKProductions]

Wonderful video on the city skylines. It makes these types of videos better when filming trains passing or arriving, departing, etc.

[wolfgangpfeilergartenbahnd]
