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.

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!

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.
@AcmeCinematography12 күн бұрын
Amen. Thank you! Yes we were blown away by how stunning the highlands are just east of Connellsville to Garrett. Just amazing. We intend to bike to Indian Creek sometime this fall to get the viaduct there!!! Very hard to get to that spot ! As you noted. So many beautifully maintained homes in the hills!!!

@@AcmeCinematography Thanx for the kind words and hard work. The Keystone Subdivision ought to have an excursion train, but given PSR and that there is only one track in a few sections, this is unlikely. I think CSX has a long range plan to double track through Pittsburgh (there is a tunnel on the South Side that has one track). A third track for Amtrak would be ideal. Thanx again!

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.

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.
