Mighty Soldier Summit [4K] Featuring Gilluly Loops, Thistle Tunnels & More Chasing BNSF 5/11/2019

[@jpdriver1967]

Great video! Bonus to have a warbonnet in the consist. Only thing that could have made this better would have been a lashup of DGRW SD40T-2s pulling the grade. Thank you!

[@Tricky929]

There was a time when all you could hope for was a glance from the side of a roadway to see and understand the workings of a railroad. What a difference the drones make.

[@scoobycarr5558]

Congrats to the men of the Rio Grande who built and maintained this line in the first place and to the late great Rio Grande for sharing with us about their Scenic Line Of The World!

[@robwestdyke5520]

BEAUTIFUL VIDEO! Takes me back to the many times I’ve traveled that route. Thanks for spending the time and money to produce it

[@TheRailfanDan]

Thanks a lot! Man that's cool. I live in Eugene Oregon so this was far away for me but I want to go back again so badly. I absolutely loved it there.

[@michaelstelzriede3699]

So far the best railfan videos I've seen! Skills, man!!!

[@TheRailfanDan]

Thanks very much!

[@richardbedard1245]

You have the right to be proud of this video. You've really outdone yourself. I like your choice of background music for this one because it brings out the majesty of the landscape. I wonder if the train engineers get tired of it. Thank you for sharing your talent with us.

[@errm1913]

Nice... love the way you manage to keep an exceptional photogenic composition while flying!

[@phinsgranpop]

There are not many clips that I could watch more than a couple of times , BUT this one I could watch every day . The flight was excellent , the views were awesome . THANK YOU for a magnificent clip.

[@ivanoffw]

One of the best subscriptions on KZbin. These videos should be kept forever. I wonder if the people who originally surveyed this line knew of the beauty they were creating.

[@hcrun]

Spectacular country, spectacular videography, spectacular music. Superb!

[@dav0352]

You smacked a grand slam with this one ... tremendous photography AND music. Many many thanks!!

[@lloydgrisham8821]

Fantastic! My wife doesn't care about the trains but really enjoyed the scenic views. Thanks!

[@trainhound1732]

There was scenery there? I was watching the train I must ave missed the rest..

[@allenscottmontgomery3929]

My family is from Richfield on the old Marysvale Branch that left the main at Thistle. Back in 83 dad took us up there to see the damage from the slide and flood. It was freakin wild! The first twenty miles of the branch was destroyed and I think dad cried because it was all too clear that they would never rebuild. I have a lot of fond memories of chasing trains on Soldier. The good news is, it sure seems that traffic levels have picked up in the couple years. The best train I saw lately was an eastbound BNSF with six units and four cars. Talk about over powered!

[@TheRailfanDan]

Wow I bet that was a wild sight! A shame indeed too. I can understand why your dad would be upset. Ha yeah that is a bit overpowered!

[@billmorrison3714]

Absolutely stunning! Fantastic music selection as well.

[@TheRailfanDan]

Thanks Bill! I really hope to get back here within a couple years.

[@JoeBehan3]

I just found your channel and this video. Awesome footage and accompanying music. Restful. Wanted it to just keep going! 👏👏👏👏👏

[@ScottHiddelston]

Fantastic. Wonderfully filmed

[@markhayes6407]

Beautiful footage and the accompany music is soothing and appropriate. Great drone work.

[@shivasorion2014]

Dear Railfan Dan...Brilliant Work. !!! your idea to turn 180 degrees at 2:41 was awesome...at 4:11 you pull a balanced field...your excellent control of the Phantom 4 Pro at 7:00 is clearly evident...at 10:23 the highway shot is great...at 10:51 the tunnel exit, cool and at 15:00 the full visual stretch is impressive...Your choice of music is a great match for this video, as it pulls you into your work...listening to this with the audio off, well then , it's just Brilliant work..thank you again for sharing.

[@baitsauce]

How long before the wrong people in Hollywood see this and offer him a job?

[@alphadog4802]

Awesome ! You capture the mountain vista's all while keeping the train in center stage not to mention the fantastic music ! Bravo !!

[@barbaramiola4322]

Que paisagem espetacular!

[@haroldsmuck3569]

very interesting video, enjoyed the video very much, would like to see more like this, thanks for sharing.

[@HDDcam73]

After playing this route on train simulator everything looks so familiar. It's cool to see the real deal in action. Awesome video, keep up the great work 👍🏼😎

[@TheRailfanDan]

Thanks a lot! Yeah that would give you a great relation to this.

[@mpaulk2023]

I used to drive my old pathfinder around on those dirt trails near the tunnel when I lived in Utah....good memories lol :-)

[@HOSteam]

Magnificent Dan! Coupling it with that music score made the hair on my neck stand up.

[@TheRailfanDan]

Thanks Jim I'm glad to hear that about the music!

[@thomasmackowiak]

Beautiful video Railfan Dan! I subscribed to your channel after seeing this video. I look forward to more videos like this!

[@TheRailfanDan]

That is very good to hear thank you Thomas!

[@johnstafford4304]

Wonderful video. You take us to the off non visible locations with your drone. KEEP IT UP

[@zeeshanaleyshaikh4720]

Beautiful footage

[@jimjones6290]

Dan I live in Utah and its that nice that you made great video of an area i’m familiar with thanks

[@railroadradio]

Another fantastic job, Dan

[@TheRailfanDan]

Thanks so much!

[@daudimaniseli759]

I LOVE BNSF ENGINE PERFORMANCE, AND PHYSICAL APEARANCE,,THENKS ALL ENGINEERING WHO CLEATS RAILWAY, AND LOCOS,, ME FROM TANZANIA (AFRICA)

[@Perfusionist01]

Really nice video. I like your style, format and music.

[@TheRailfanDan]

Thank you Gary! This video was a big check off the list.

[@andrewwalsh4798]

Beatiful, just Beautiful. Thanks.

[@SonicMonumentStudios52]

Awesome!!! I loved making that drive. Used to take it from SLC to Monument Valley. That last stretch into Helper/Price is stunning. So cool to see that all (especially the loops) through that POV. Thank you covering that. Echo Canyon down to Mountain Green and out through Weber Canyon in Ogden is wild too if you can get up that way on the UP Transcon.

[@billr991]

Thanks for creating and posting this video. I enjoyed watching it very much.

[@jerrysmith1929]

I spent a couple summers working at Crater Lake Lodge, so I always appreciate your fine aerial photography of the Northwest. I'm really pleased to see you getting closer to Denver which I used to call home. I'm hoping you may continue in that direction. Maybe even to Arizona where I also worked for several years at the Grand Canyon. I haven't been able to find much aerial railfanning in those areas.

[@rubervalgoncalves7961]

Superb footage! Great music! Trilha sonora excepcional. Greetings from Brazil.

[@carlhohenstein7930]

Great video Dan, The drone nailed it.

[@bfurailroad1104]

If the water wasn't racing down the gully, this could pass for a very nicely detailed model layout. Perty Kool!

[@dayosingh]

Thanks, Dan, oh man everything here is superb- the scenery, the music, the train, and the videography. You are a class act man.

[@jean-pierrepodik9638]

Hello! thanks for the superb video . Greeting from northern France.

[@adamvitz8238]

Great video! I shot this train the morning of that day in Grand Junction!

[@TheRailfanDan]

Oh that's so cool! Small world.

[@StormySkyRailProductions]

Outstanding drone video.

[@tudieu-qng6817]

Super video my friend!

[@trainmaster9323]

Beautiful !!

[@denzack1]

Outstanding in every way!

[@scoobycarr5558]

At least I'm glad that there's still some trains over Utah's Soldier Summit in the form of BNSF and Utah Railway, if not for Union Pacific who still owns and operates the line. I'm currently on MSTS Train Simulator doing Utah's Soldier Summit with a stacker from Union Pacific with Southern Pacific heritage units.

[@wizardofodds8239]

Me too, Scooby. I've spent a lot of time scouting Soldier Summit's trains. The U.P. currently (2020) owns the railroad right-of-way and infrastructure. BNSF and Utah Railway have trackage rights.

[@robbybachmann332]

Beautifully done.....

[@EntertainmentWorldz]

great video bro

[@AsepRFPWK]

07:35 best moment, the machines can see back of trainset

[@dcarailandcar8538]

The best chanel, fantastic image! Congratulations!

[@taslimchaudhry1431]

Great drone Video Thanks for Share Video. 🇮🇳

[@Atsf1976]

Another great video. I hope to go up there in the next year and now I'm much more excited about it. What frame rate does your drone record in?

[@alejandrotorresperez277]

Felicidades broo por suvir este tipo de videos con paisajes tan ermosos algun dia me encantaria viajar en tren para ver todos los paisajes

[@jasonarnot1857]

Outstanding!

[@OnlyTrains399]

Amazing chase dan! Great shots!

[@williamlenoch1526]

Wow!!! Simply awesome Dan! I just watched it on my PC. I'm going to go watch on TV with better sound. Great job!

[@matthewhancock2127]

Train man Dan used phantom 4 Drone to record this awesome video of solder summit. I plan on using some of this as inspiration, and influence for part the building of my Model Railroad. It is rear to see double track main passing over the Rocky Mountain Range. However, in Castle gate and Soldier Summit that is what you have, setting up for fantastic meets of two trains going in the opposite direction. Dan your the best at this, keep up the great work, and maybe you could film over Castle Gate.

[@richardbedard1245]

I look at these videos with "n-scale" eyes.

[@georgebono8655]

Always great stuff. Really like the music adds tons to the video.

[@c58rytcx]

Awesome stuff, Dan!

[@danielhiggins4331]

ABSOLUTELY SMASHING!!!

[@fernandosouto7918]

the best videos I've seen, wonderful congratulations!

[@jmcfarlandjr]

That was wonderful.

[@markswasey4301]

Awesome video!!!

[@dashaB-sl4pu]

Simply brilliant

[@douglasnpowell]

Truly amazing

[@jorgepolo4865]

Impresionante y supremamente espectacular lo que el hombre puede crear para el beneficio de la humanidad.

[@J3scribe]

That was epic!

[@jimholder6656]

Truly superb!

[@zilmavieiramaia5304]

Amo vídeo de trens e muito lindo as paisagens

[@valterraymundi6008]

Muito lindo paisagem maravilhosa expetacular maravilha lindo lindo postagem maravilhosa Brazil

[@simply_kenetic4915]

damn, I remember running many D&RGW trains over this route in Railworks the real thing is always better. sweet video I wanna railfan this route atleast once

[@TheRailfanDan]

It was because of seeing this on Railworks that I became so interested in seeing it one day. The real thing is definitely always better.

[@briankistner4331]

Well, if you're good at using the RW route editor, you could try to fix/enhance it to look better, more closer to the real thing.

[@geomodelrailroader]

been a while since I been to Soldier Summit I need to go back.

[@bfurailroad1104]

Watching this video could put the viewer in a train watching trance and at the same time learn you on making different scenery ideas. The cameraman is either railfanning or he's a landscape inspector.

[@AlohaMilton]

Nice! Dramatic geology FTW!

[@TaniaAmel-g7w]

Hii in from Indonesian,, i ❤ locomotive engine performance and i very very amazing natural scenery 🥰😍❤️

[@joeystrains.9316]

Awesome!

[@stevenikitas8170]

[@kamranshabbir6258]

[@tedmaas3588]

NICE JOB>>>>VERY WELL DONE>>>>THX

[@marianhula2567]

Fantastic

[@ariceliosoaresdasilva4357]

Excelente

[@stewartdeerfield]

Nice video as always Dan, tell your dad I said hi.

[@bututiti1384]

Frumos e să privești...

[@scoobycarr5558]

And the BNSF is running CNW style

[@scoobycarr5558]

Now if Union Pacific can sell the Rio Grande to BNSF and Utah Railway can operate via trackage rights Salt Lake City to Moab, UT, that would probably be great ...

[@AsepRFPWK]

😍👍👍👍

[@brianbrown8731]

looks funny to see BNSF on UP in Utah

[@oubrioko]

0:36 Rail fans scurry back to their vehicles... 1:03 ...to haul a$$ down the highway to next photo spot.
