Fantastic work on this video - great drone work, great editing, and great narration.

Cool video! Agree with uncle Mark. Would be neat to learn about that stuff.

Interesting to see from the air! Much more interesting to see how complex this is! How this is figured out as to which train gets to be where would be a neat episode! (How they know if the track is available and for how long) Who controls this and from where?

Portage la Prairie IS the only location in Canada where the two mainlines cross AT GRADE. They cross again east of Winnipeg but by an overpass.

[@TravelsWithBill]

Agreed! We were out the film the other crossing last summer. Not nearly as dramatic when it's an overpass.
