Awesome video Douglas!! love the EMD sounds

[@dhdisprsmith2296]

Love this Douglas! Listening to the SD40s and watching the train rock and roll over jointed rail…a step back in time! I’ve got to get down there sometime.

[@SD457500]

Glad to hear you enjoyed it!! It's an enjoyable chase, and there are so many neat photo opps along the way. Thanks for watching!

[@KCTopDawg]

Definitely a quality caliber video with awesome units and the fact that their EMD is perfect! Thanks for sharing

[@CharlieH65]

Wow! I've been waiting for the RCP&E to roll across this channel and this certainly did not disappoint. Bravo, bravo!! Can hardly wait for the next one! MY GOODNESS THANK YOU !!!!!!!

[@edwardstd52]

Good video! I spend a lot of time in the Hills and it never fails that when I spot one of the RCP&E runs, I'm heading somewhere in a hurry. LOL

[@lexpo181]

Excellent video again dear Douglas! ;) Thanks for sharing this great footage :)

[@SD457500]

Glad you enjoyed it! This part of the RCP&E is beautiful, and has so many neat places to see and shoot. Thank you for watching!

[@AndreiTupolev]

Beautiful sounds!

[@struck2soon]

Nice selection of weathered hoppers in that train. The old blue hopper @4:20 was worth a photo!

[@StormySkyRailProductions]

Awesome video of this railroad and the sound of the EMDs make it that much more enjoyable.

[@valeriebassett3107]

Great video! Beautiful scenery too!

[@AlexTrain5249]

I could only imagine what it would be like to have those tracks upgraded for 70 mph running. I know it’s not possible to go that fast in some places but it would be nice to see full throttle SD40-2s at high speed. It’s a shame those old beasts don’t have A/C.

[@douglasskaalrud6865]

If you’re standing along the tracks in Elk River MN under the right circumstances with the right throttle jockey, BNSF can come pretty close.

[@KurtBenning]

Nice catch!!

[@douglasskaalrud6865]

Thanks for taking the trip to capture these. Put some new shortline paint on them and they look like thoroughly modern power. It’s beautiful country but the water will straighten your hair.

[@SD457500]

Each year I try and head west, and the Rapid City area is a must for me. There is so much to do, see, and experience out here. The Belle Turn is a fun, easy chase, that also usually runs in good light. Thanks for watching!

[@christophersanders4108]

Great video! Those SD's sound great!! Thanks

[@Almoekd1971]

Great video. I chase this every year when I go to Sturgis.

[@svtrains4773]

Beautiful video!

[@Daveski24]

Great Video, In the background of the 7th street crossing in Rapid City is the old MILW Freight House

[@robertbate5790]

That was a cool chase, and some great vantage points. How far did you follow the train? Just at the end of the video, that was a bad wet spot pumping mud. Not good for rails or stability. Could do with some TLC. Great video, thank you 😀😀 👍👍

[@mark_wooley001]

awesome 👍

[@jackstephenson5238]

Those are some great shots! Any tips on how to catch these guys?

[@Bob.W.]

Thx. Was that a bridge structure over the track st 8:02?

[@SD457500]

Thanks for the comment, and watching! Yes, thats a bridge down the tracks, and a pretty neat looking one at that.

[@lionelwade7824]

🏃 P_R_O_M_O_S_M!

[@centraliowarailproductions2810]

Nice catch!
