That owl! Oh my--that OWL!!! So gorgeous!!! I also enjoyed the mini-parade at Cumberland, and it was neat to see several engineers honk at people who waved at them. It's a little thing but it means a lot. Kudos to the firefighters at the bungalow, and a big hello to the Italians; it looked as if they were having the time of their lives and I hope they get to see a lot while they're here. Thanks for another great one, guys!

How can you not smile when a family finds joy waving at a camera sharing a hobby. I think the owl was a little camera shy, didn't want to reveal it's hunting technique.

Big 10 curve, I’m sure the Rocky Mountaineer was checking to make sure no tramps were on the cargo cars.

I've been wondering what company the blue locomotives between the regular Rocky Mountaineer were from. Thank you @VirtualRailfan for letting us know. I'm assuming they're there to help the regular locomotives.

I think that at 0:48 the engineers tapped the brakes and the noise was from the couplers pushing together; the train seemed to slow down afterwards.

It was a Great Horned Owl, our largest (and one of the most common) owl species. Don't know about the camera...

Some freight wagons have extensive and sometimes quite artistic graffiti. I suspect that an analysis of all of their individual route histories will show a common record of having all spent time in one particular freight marshalling yard. I wonder which yard that might be? It would be likely to have a more lax security regime than others. 😎

@0:50 what you hear when the independent brake is momentarily applied without the train brakes, I would guess it was a mistake.
