I have to agree to music was an excellent pick to go with the sprawling views of Arizona . Beautiful photography, angle choices and height views. Very much enjoyed watching. Thanks for putting this together.

whats with the ultra heavy dramatic music. Railfanning is fun. Keep it simple

13:55 // 24:55 // 42:05 // 1:11:23 // 1:17:19 You are looking at 400 million years of geologic history in one shot. Really amazing video work!1

you make the most insane train videos I've ever seen. this exceeds a big budget nature documentary. Well done!

So happy to see you back on Utube! I watch your videos every day and the enjoyment and relaxation your videos provide is second to none! I still think you should be on Nat Geo or Discovery! Thank you!

Fantastic cinematography with beautiful music. This video immediately went to my favorites. Thanks for all of your hard work in making this production.

Man! I want that job!! I'll bet they don't wake up in the morning saying "Crap! I gotta go drive the train!!"

Do you accept donations to do more railroads?

The Big Four of years ago could only see the Big Four of today! 🏁

Wow, what a ride ! Great views of Cumberland, Md. at the beginning, too! My dad was born and raised there, and my grandmother last lived on Green Street, across from the Coca Cola bottling plant. My brother and I would always watch for trains crossing viaduct just down the street whenever we were in town to visit. My dad's closest friend worked for Chessie and predecessors after world war 2 and retired in the early 80s. He worked as a " car knocker " and worked with the wreck crew when they were called out to clear up derailments. That was in the days when railroads did all that for themselves . Mr. Charlie Barr used to tell us quite a few stories of wrecks he helped to clean up. Thanks again for such a beautiful ride along!

Absolutely world class drone footage, of one of five or six mountain passes through out the United States rail system second to none in the world! Last you Sir. are incredible in cinematography & music, this is the greatest ever done!

Just going to add on to the praise, thee best video's on you tube. You are a Rembrandt of video production, drone, scenes, music. Excellent! Glad your back.

Absolutely Amazing! Even better than all your others, and those have been incredible. The Cumberland church scene with the organ music, was so well done.

This channel deserves a million subs

What is the name of that track you played in the background at Vaughn. I really like it and would love to use it in my videos

When was this shot? 2023

Did they donate the target signal

(37:00) Wye ? Did this used to connect to the mines in Swansea?

Hopefully that signal was donated to a good museum I would hate to hear that that piece of railroading history was scrapped on site

Great drone work. And, the music is also very nicely done.

Great video! You have very good cameras. Very nice drone operation/flying. Great quality. Nice cinematography! Great editing. I really appreciated the short (for me, too short. I love pipe organs) pipe organ concert. Nice little Wicks church organ.

OUTSTANDING!!

Yes, cumberland is tough go same here calgary to vancouver bc.CSX yard is main turning point on csx systems the repair is well locations for repair.excellent video and music thank you.😊

Absolutely Beautiful Drone video and very informative too, I could feel my blood pressure dropping and great music also, you knocked it out of the park.

I thought this was going to be a tutorial for Train Sim World. Didn't realize it was the real thing. I'm really glad I stumbled upon this. Great job!

Neat to see the pole line still up tho prob no longer in use.

This reaches the level of art

Fantastic! Thank you for producing.

wow, your cinemaphotography and music in the beginning is absolutely UNREAL!!!!! Subscribed. Railfan or not, youre worth the watch. amazing job.

As at 51 year CSX & predecessors employee with the final 20 years having the Baltimore Division including the Keystone Sub as my territory - WELL DONE - It should get a KZbin Emmy for Railroad Production.

The more I watch, the more I see people in Madison not obey traffic laws. LOL

This movie just blew me away. I have biked the GAP trail for decades and I always enjoy the scenery of the Laurel Highlands and the amazing rumble of the CSX trains along the Youghiogheny River...you often cannot see the trains while biking but you can hear them as if you were next to them. Seeing the landscape from the air provides a new and stunning view of the Laurel Highlands. I live near Pittsburgh and this area is pretty much my backyard. It's a too welk-kept secret. Notice the homes in the movie. Nothing extravagant or fancy but they are almost always well kept and neat. Cumberland, Meyersdale and Rockwood are charming towns worth spending some time in. Those folks on the Capitol Limited sure got their money's worth. Decades ago the Pittsburgh & Lake Erie and the Western Maryland used to run trains from Pittsburgh to Ohiopyle for day trips. The Capitol Limited uses CSX tracks from Washington to Pittsburgh and uses a track that runs under Oakland (where the University of Pittsburgh is) to connect to the Norfolk Southern main line to continue to Chicago. The view of the Horseshoe Curve at Mance is every bit as impressive as the Horseshoe Curve in Altoona. You deserve an Oscar for this. Well done.

Watching this beautiful video reminds me of when we sang songs in school about how Wonderful our Country is... I miss that 😢

You should check out the lima Hamiltons at the whitewatervalley railroad.

Help me understand the no horn crossings csx has everywhere.

Excellent video!

Amazing video

So does the signal connect with the track physically? Does it change something about the diamonds?

The pairs in your video at 58:21 into video were either left of trolley line or of line that may have come south of Somerset Yard as I haven't quite figured that out yet. Yet the line connects to the Western Maryland Railroad/ Railways line as on the other side on Great Allegheny Passage as we for years were forced to use road to go around WM by crossing the Casselman River to use old U.S. 219 to reach Meyersdale tunnel or go up hill to PA 160 to go south over B&O Sand Patch tunnel to reach T to reach Frostburg to right of T or turn left to reach Cumberland at WM Station and C&O Canal and still have to do so when Big Savage Mountain tunnel is closed.

At Rockwood PA wye there was to be a wye up to Somerset PA Yard along the Garrett Shortcut.

At Garrett PA in Somerset County PA along the B&O RR side of Cassleman River was where South Pennsylvania Railroad was to come south from the east side of the 3 Allegheny Tunnels to service Snyder's of Berlin now owned by Utz Snacks to reach wye to B&O as the SPRR was to cross the Cassleman pulling right onto the Western Maryland RR that became Railway to reach the Vanderbilt controlled Pittsburgh & Lake Erie PMcKey and P&LE RR mainline to reach the Vanderbilt lines in Youngstown & Cleveland Ohio. There was also to be wye to the B&O RR's Indian Creek Branch in Ohiopyle as there was also to be a SPRR Wheeling VA now Wheeling WV line that the SPRR was to share with B&O RR's Benwood Tunnels and B&O RR's Sheepskin Trail using the Outcrop Tunnel between BoWest and B&O's first mainline south of Uniontown PA using Outcrop Tunnel.

Looking at the video here to the far side of the Western Maryland RR/Railway Trestle as WM is facing Meyersdale at the end of the trestle was a wye pull to service Grey Mine operations that to this day still has tracks in Ground and a railroad crossing. To the left of the trestle at Meyersdale was a amusement park and trolley line as we are facing towards Rockwood, Confluence, Ohiopyle historic Great Falls PA.

Just wonderful video I grew up near there hunting all around myersdale

The C&O would've connected to the Pennsylvania Canal at AMTRAK/ Greyhound Stations in Pittsburg now Pittsburgh PA in Allegheny County PA.

Magnificent cinematography! Flawless production. BRAVO SIR

Very nice drone footage. Great production. Great video.

I found this PDF pertaining to the B&O Railroad from Buffalo, Rochester New York into Pittsburgh and south into Maryland. www.phmc.state.pa.us/portal/communities/railroads/files/107870_bo_pittdivision_draft.pdf

I would like to do a reaction video to your video !!

With all the railroad consolidations it appears that B&O now CSX had been and is working with Burlington Northern Santa Fa Railroads, as the Norfolk & Southern past Pennsylvania Railroad had been working with Union Pacific Railroad.

You, sir (or ma'am) are on the next level of railfan cinematography! Just subscribed! Think I'll watch it again!
