AMEN! Never race the gates! The reason so many Brightline crashes happen in Florida is because the cars underestimate the train. Trains are just a longer form of tanks and like you said, they take a long time to stop. Train drivers have to deal with so much whether it be witnessing a car in front of them or a jumper, you need to be strong mentally for the job and I have high respect for them.

some times, if you time it right, with a motor bike, it is likely to cross it before it starts shutting. due to the fact that it takes a few moments after the bell starts as it is coming from 900m or so.

Mike, with this video you made me feel half my age (errr, about your current age, I think). I spent a day around Boston Bar and North Bend with my good Canadian friend Kevin way back in 1989, photographing freight trains from both CN and CP. The Anderson Creek Trestle was one of my favourite spots and we managed to get two freights running parallel on opposite sides of the Fraser. We got there by car but back then I rode a motorcycle here in Australia (a Honda 750 4 cylinder touring machine). While I no longer ride (although still have a motorcycle endorsement on my license), I feel the same euphoria as you when on the open road touring my own country. I used to do a lot of motorcading of trains out of Melbourne but not so much now as, unfortunately, there are nuts out there that don't have the same regard for safety (both road and near the railway) as you and me. I'm really glad you made those safety comments about proximity to the rail line in your comments. Quite by coincidence the previous KZbin Clip I watched to this was Comeng998's coverage of a steam train trip from Melbourne to Warrnambool and return Saturday last (29th October). The weather was atrocious most of the day but Adrian (Comeng's real first name) captured the atmosphere really well. I recommend you view it sometime soon if you can spare the time. Simply type in KZbin Comeng998 and select the video from the list. Goes for about 34-35mins. Looking forward to YOUR next week's offering. Cheers from Michael in Melbourne.🙂

Everyone has their own hobby to remove the stress in their live, and for you it's riding your motorcycle and I don't blame you. As awesome as your adventures in the US and beyond are, there's also nothing wrong with exploring what your own neck of the woods has to offer. And as shown in this video, the sights sure are stunning

"Train chasing" was a staple of my childhood. We used a car, not a motorcycle--most of the time it was my dad (the train enthusiast) and several of his children. We rarely went train chasing in the city, though. Most of the time it was Cajon Pass, near San Bernardino, CA. I spawned another train enthusiast, and it always made me happy when the kiddo could go train chasing with his grandfather. eta: We only chased freight trains. It made victory inevitable.

Thanks for another interesting video. Train chasing is a part of the rail fan experiences. Just like you experienced if you are chasing a passenger train and they get a clear track and you get stuck in traffic you will lose the chase. But we did get to see some interesting scenery from your motor cycle. By the way I had an interesting train chase by chance back in the 1970 ‘s. Me and a friend were driving between Lancaster, Pa and Harrisburg on a road that paralleled the Amtrak line to Harrisburg for several miles. By chance at the time there was a train to St. Louis that came by us as we were driving west. The speed limit on the highway at the time was 65 MPH but the train pulled by the legendary GG-1 was going faster than 65. There was not much traffic at the time so I tried to pace the train while my friend shot a picture of it through the front window. I was able to keep up with the train for a while but every time I got about even with the engine the train would speed up. Well I had to give up and let the train win and when I looked down at my speedometer we were going 85 MPH. So the train must have been doing 90 or more Mph. Lucky for me there was light traffic and no police on patrol so we got our picture and no speeding ticket. Keep those interesting video of yours coming.

I love trains and have done lots of "chases" of freight trains west of Calgary on my motorbike. However, the ride from Calgary to Field, BC takes just over 2 hours and the trains take 6-12 hours. It is fun to watch them go through the spiral tunnels and there are other epic viewing spots, including Morant's curve. Another great video Michael.

Watching this reminds me of the road trips I used to take on my Honda Hawk GT 650 back in the 90s, when I lived in Virginia. I'd often take a sleeping bag with me plus enough cash for a hotel and gas if necessary. Often I'd just stop in the middle of nowhere so I could see the stars overhead. Don't have a motorcycle now, it's just too dangerous where I live. But I still miss it. Thanks for the fun video!

As a former pilot, I find the motorcycle great because it's "like flying on the ground. Turning, banking, climbing and descending..." On the upside, if something goes wrong, you can pull over and get off. On the downside, motorcycles have more things to maybe hit than an airplane does. Remembering the Three Great Rules Of Motorcycling: 1. Don't hit anything, 2. Don't let anything hit you, and 3. Don't fall off.

Bringing up some new information about the sponsor of the video. Established Titles is currently being looked into by many KZbinrs that have been sponsored by them as their business practices are being questioned. As most know they sell souvineer plots of land and claim to keep a record so you can claim a Lord/Lady title. Legaly the title isn't real though enough people say that. The biggest thing is that they claim to donate some of the money to charities to help plant trees around the world. The gag Title part I'm fine with and is an interesting incentive in my opinion though as the company doesn't publish any information on how much they donate to the organisations they do, it's being questioned if they even do donate anything. Another thing that hurts Established Titles is they fall under a company also known for things like Deal Dash. I don't know if this comment will ever be read though I hope it helps give insight to anyone that might see it before purchasing a title, as I regetably did.

The company was very shady so I don't blame the creator if they fooled some creators.

I liked the feeling of riding on the bike with you. Beautiful sunset. That was fun.. Maybe if there was no slow traffic you may have had better timing? Would you want to do it again during earlier hours so we could actually see North Bend? Enjoyed this video 🍂🍁❤🍁🍂

Unfortunately I think going earlier isn't an option, since the train always leaves at that time during the day.

Love your videos man. I also love your positivity. Video suggestion: you can do this same route again without traffic or chase the Rocky Mountaineer in the early hours. The only difference is that the train doesn't make stops i think.

You’re not allowed to split lanes in Canada? That would let you get there a little faster and is also safer than being stopped in traffic behind a car or truck.
