Not the most scenic of trips, but there's something almost hypnotic about the narrow band of light.

The mystique of the trip. 😀😀👍

That opening shot could be a painting. Thought I saw a shooting star too, but no, just a bug. Still looks cool.

@@georgeheilman4243 I agree. It does look good. 👍😀

Interesting trip... Pity it is a night time run, but that's when most trains seem to run through this section.. I have heard them often at night, as they pass through Ross township? It's hard to figure out just where you are during the trip at night? Often seeing headlights on the nearby main highway between Epping and Conara helped? The line is pretty featureless unless you are very familiar with it?

@@robinmathews2446 drivers are trained to run over a line before they can take a train on their own for the reason of knowing where they are and not loosing situational awareness. The night videos show why this is so. Glad you enjoyed the ride 👍 😀
