Couple of notes too: 0:10 PSR at its best right there... ] 1:00 thats the first time I've seen a shorter container on top of a longer container, its normally the other way around, so thats interesting... Very nice shot of Q142 disappearing into the sunset @1:16 2:19 H e r z o g F o r T h e W i n 4:27 JEEEEZ thats loud. The norfolk southern ones aren't that loud. lol 10:04 I repeat, PSR at its best. 14:58 You ok there 3033? need to clear your throat??

Great meet! My quest for an Amtrak on my line in daylight continues...

[@iceclimberGD]

I know the feeling lol. Thanks for watching!

Here’s a question, does a Marta count as a train even though it’s electric powered? If if it doesn’t count as a train than why do people call it one?

[@iceclimberGD]

I'd say it does. I'm just not as interested because they're passenger trains and super common.

[@bobbythekidd4712]

Indeed ;)

[@DV_Graph1cs]

Do many trains come through there?

[@iceclimberGD]

It depends, there's barely any at daytime but lots at night usually.

[@DV_Graph1cs]

@@iceclimberGD Does this have to do something with PSR?

[@iceclimberGD]

@@DV_Graph1cs Yeah, PSR is the entire cause. Used to be one of the busiest single track lines in the country until that cursed operating plan came in...
