    There's everything here. The lovely Mt Shasta, a couple of Amtrak trains, a bunch of UP freights, cool horseshoe curves and an amazing viaduct. The locations are all beautiful, especially with the nice springs colors. These long movies are really good, I always enjoy them a lot. Thanks a million for your effort Dan. Your job is always much appreciated.

    Hallo Dan, ich muss heute mal in meiner Muttersprache schreiben. Ich bin so dankbar für diese schönen Videos. Ich werde niemals die Möglichkeit bekommen, dieses große Land zu besuchen, aber ich bin immer wieder begeistert diese schönen Drohnenbilder zu sehen. Für mich ist es wie ein großes Spiel auf einer Eisenbahnplatte. Vielen Dank dafür. Grüße von Micha aus Dresden / Deutschland

    Another marvelous production. Loved the ground-level shot at Grass Lake with the train reflecting in the water. I watched another CZcamsr’s drone footage and it really showed how much BETTER your drone flying is when compared to others. Amtrak should buy those shots from the last sequence-amazing! Thanks for sharing these!

    Where to begin??!! You teased us with the preliminary short for this production, and you have totally proved that it was a really "special" production not just for you but for all of us. Yes, timing is everything to have the right light, train spot, and scenery, and you accomplished all of that. I am humbled how your work continues to mature in content because your prior work was so well done also. There are so many pictures in this production that belong on many train calendars as well as other high value locations in UP corporate offices! Once again, well done and totally appreciated.

    • @TheRailfanDan
      @TheRailfanDan  Před 9 dny

      Thanks Charles and yes this was another big one for sure and I hate to say it was a section of railroad I really haven't given too much attention to in the past so it was great to rectify that. You're too kind my friend thanks so much!

    Howdy Dan!
    I have been a fan of yours for about 2 years now. Thank you for all of the fine videos. The perspective that you give with your drones on railroading is outstanding! I am asking you, if it would be possible for you to cover the BNSF from Wenatchee, up the Wenatchee River and through the Stevens Pass tunnel. This Tunnel is 7.8 miles long and is the longest tunnel in North America. I think it would be a fantastic Video!

      @TheRailfanDan  Před 9 dny

      Thanks so much David! Someday I am sure I will make it up on the Scenic Sub again but not sure when. It is a bit hard to justify going that far away for a line that doesn't have very much traffic without having to take time off from work but I think someday I'll make it up there again.

    Thanks for another great video. I have really enjoyed the videos around Mt Shasta as I grew up there and frequented many of the locations in the films. I recently took some video of my own at sawmill curve when I stopped there on a trip to Red Bluff CA. There is a cut at the north end of the curve where you can sit on the bank and be pretty close to the train as it goes by.

    I'm always enthralled by your videos, but I usually set aside time to watch these long ones because I hate to watch in segments. It breaks up the rhythm, and that ain't right. Your production is so beautifully cinematic. I'm kind of running out of superlatives for your videos. lol
    Just as an FYI, Mount Shasta is a beautiful example of topographic prominence, a measurement of how important a mountain is in relation to its surrounding landscape, i.e., how far it sticks out like a sore thumb. Most of the Cascade volcanos qualify. Mount Fuji is perhaps the most famous example. Mount Denali in Alaska is the most prominent mountain on Earth when measured from base to summit, easily dwarfing any mountain in the Himalayas.
