    The angle of the sunlight made a really nice effect on the cars going around the curve in Hesperia. It was good to see 4822 and the coach honoring veterans, and thanks for the update on the Barstow project--seeing that huge crane going over the tracks was amazing (photobombs notwithstanding). Another great one!

    I turned it on, left the room for something, and then came right back. I saw the NS at horseshoe curve and I SWORE either a train was going to get rear ended or one of the engines had separated for some reason. Then one just went right past the other. Ohhhhh! Ok.

    Wow, some great catches thanks VRF. As well as the Crane movements, there was Illinois Terminal at Roanoke and two War Bonnets at Fort Madison. I was spitting feathers when Executive SD70MAC was videobombed by a GE loco, but there was another showed up at Barstow. I'd been hoping to see Davisville again. Can't help noticing the leaves at the Curve starting to look a bit Autumnal in the sunlight.

    the Ballast train at 4:40 I didn't notice the large doors that usually go under the hoppers. Do these cars have a conveyor belt that's operated by that odd shaped yellow middle unit to take the ballast to the spreader behind the power?
    17:54 must be some sort of diagnostic car, considering the amount of stuff under the car. The grain(?) hopper is a buffer to smooth out stops, especially emergency stops, minimizing the shaking or sudden movements as much as possible.

    10:25 as soon as the train cleared, cars started crossing. But before the crossing could turn off, it lowered for another train. A pickup truck with trailer ran it and ripped off the crossing gate
