I appreciate that, thanks for watching Doc👊

Thank ya brotha!👊

Thanks Jayne, much appreciated👊

Thanks man, really really appreciate that! Unfortunately I missed NS4001 (haven't seen it in about 4 years), life's been busy and haven't had that many opportunities to get trackside lately. Hopefully I get another chance to catch her soon. Thanks for watching👊

And I always enjoy reading your comments❤️! Thank you for watching👊

Much appreciated and congrats on the drone! It's a great hobby, lots of different types of drones and styles of fliers...and it's just an awesome community. As I encourage everyone who gets a drone, if you haven't already I would recommend getting your FAA Part 107 certificate. Lends a little street credit when people approach you with questions about "what are you doing" and I think it makes you an all around better pilot having awareness of airspace and regulations. Thanks for the algorithm tip, I'll have to give it a go! Thanks for watching and can't wait to see the drone shots in your vids👊

@@edfoulks8047 yes my wife and I are both taking the test to get our license.

Haha, glad you liked it sir👊

Thank James, as always I appreciate you watching👊

Thank you Wayne, really appreciate that! Good to know that the "story" comes through even without the narration and fancy graphics👊

Sure did! I'm mad at myself because I somehow deleted photos and video (both air and ground video) of the old bridge when it was still in place over the tracks. But, I am happy they didn't just destroy the old bridge. The other tiny one lane wooden bridge just to the east (closer to Bosworth) was also torn down around the same time. No preservation and no new bridge in that spot. Thanks for watching👊

Thanks Rupak, much appreciated👊

Thanks again Latrell, appreciate you watching👊

Many thanks Dave, glad you liked it👊

@@edfoulks8047 you're very welcome.

Glad you enjoyed and thanks for watching Leito👊

LOL, thanks for watching Carmie. The FPV drone loop-dee-loops aren't really my thing, I like to keep it a little more simple! I'm no expert here but my guess is they put the DPUs in the middle instead of the end because of "slack action" - these container trains are lighter and those who build the trains are less concerned with the amount of tension on the couplers because the train is less heavy therefore less weight to pull. For really heavy trains I think they want to avoid too much pull on the couplers so they would put the DPU at the end to "push" reducing the tension on the couplers...but that's only my guess. It could be as simple as they just took what started out as 2 trains and combined them into 1 big train👊

Good eye man, good eye! Thanks for watching👍 If you’re interested in the full catch here’s the link kzbin.info/www/bejne/sJC3dpeAd7OfjbMsi=CxcVvx7KyzFFXamf

Many, many thanks my friend👊

Thanks Bubba! Seems the KZbin algorithm just does whatever it does and I happened to be on the fortunate end. Much appreciated. Been watching for one if your weekend live streams and haven't seen one in a while, hope to catch one soon👊

Good times, big thanks D!👊

Thank you Dave, appreciate your kind words👊

@@edfoulks8047 you're very welcome Ed.

I think that means you enjoyed it😉 Thanks for watching👊

Thank you David, I really appreciate that👊

Thanks for watching and I appreciate the like👊

Instead of switching between air and ground shots thought I'd just set them next to each other. Thanks for watching👊

Thank you sir, I very much appreciate that👊

Tru dat! When they bridge was built in 1918 I'm not sure the engineers envisioned a bridge that would eventually carry between 60-80 mile long trains per day well over 100 years after it was built...or maybe they did??? Thanks for watching👊

Thank man, much appreciated👊

Not just drones but ANYTHING DJI...all under the guise of a "security" risk. Yet no one can articulate even a general "security" threat they pose. Clearly it's really about protectionism. On a level playing field US drone manufacturers can't compete so they've turned to Congress to eliminate the competition for them. I would LOVE to buy an American made drone but the reality is no one else can match the quality, value, and ease of use of DJI products. Rant complete and with that said, thanks for watching man! 👊

Why must you present me with these challenges...now I have to buy yet another drone just see if I could fly two at the same time👊😎

Thanks Dave, much appreciated! 👊

@@edfoulks8047 your welcome.

Thanks for watching man, I appreciate that! This ole girl's been around for a while and she's starting to show her age a little. Plan is for a new bridge to go in next to the existing bridge but the old bridge is solid enough they are going to keep it in service👊

Thank you very much! It's not often I get to see Geeps on mainline service👊

Thank you for watching Leito, much appreciated👊

Ain’t it?!?🎺

Thank for watching! To get the audio, I just mount the GoPro on top of my drone instead of the bottom....JK, I'm using an H1N external recorder. The recorder stays with me at my location so most of the time you don't hear buzzing props. I just synch up the audio and video in post production👊

Thanks James, it was my lucky day, no very often I get to see geeps like this out on the mainline👊

Many, many thanks sir!👊

Ya know, I never thought about that, maybe it's going to continue its life elsewhere. I saw the radiator fans moving but I couldn't tell if there was actual power applied to the axles. Thanks man, as always much appreciated👊

I haven't seen one in many, many years. I know that are out there, I just see them all that often anymore! Thanks for watching Marsha👊

She's an old lady, construction finished the same year WWI ended. The railroad has plans to add another bridge next to this one but the old bridge is still structurally sound and as I understand it the old bridge will remain in service even after the new bridge is built. Thanks for watching👊

Thanks Dave! That's why I look forward to NS manifests...you're alway guaranteed to see some classic boxcars...and I got lucky this time and got to see a geep too👊

Thank you, thank you sir!👊

Thanks James, I've always been fascinated with these high-wide defect detectors👊

Thanks Paul! I think our English speaking brethren with the really crazy accent (the ones down under) do even longer trains...and they are "uncrewed"/remote controlled on trips hundreds of miles long! Appreciate you watching👊

Yep, as I understand it this is one the last remaining single tracked sections of the Southern TRANSCON. In November 2022 BNSF approved money for a new single track bridge to be built just to the east of the existing bridge with the intent to use both bridges. In May 2023 they cleared the area for the new bridge then nothing else happened and hasn't since. I haven't seen anything on why it was halted or when the project might resume...if ever. Thanks for watching👊

I bet they will when the time comes! Thanks for watching👊
