Capturing attention grabbing railfan videos like what we see on this channel is a true testament to Dan’s all round skill. With drone videography we can’t just fly around hoping for something interesting to be around the corner/bend. Battery capacity determines flight time and has to be monitored and managed as efficiently as possible. Thanks Dan for all the work that you’ve put into these productions and sharing with us👍👍👏😄, from Vancouver BC and a newby drone flyer🙂

How generous of you to name your friends! I'll subscribe. Looking forward to your Big Boy footage--it'll be beautiful and well done as always. Glad you got to spend time with your dad. Blessings to you and yours.

This will be a fantastic video I'm sure. Big Boy is a special beast and it's always great to see him in action. It's awesome you could spend time with your dad while chasing 4014 through the states. I can't wait to see the finished product. Thank you for your efforts Dan and for the important update.

Hey Dan...I'm going to speculate that there is some coordination of where you fly your drone when a train comes through. I highly doubt that things are coincidental. So how does one find out the time table of a rolling stock freight coming through a certain geographical section? Thank you.

[@TheRailfanDan]

No way to publicly get freight train schedules so it is a bit of luck as well as inside intel from railroaders. Amtrak is the only railroad you can get public live time updates.

[@619sdbdub]

@@TheRailfanDan I figured as much. Caught an Amtrak a couple of days ago with the engines sporting blue and red livery colors. I mean...like there was hardly any silver on them. So weird.
