Ben, an absolute classic video and thank you for the extended version! A++ You covered a lot of extras that other videographers left on the cutting room floor! It's amazing how you can get from scene to scene, town to town that must have been quite the day planner! Detail filiming the arrivals and departures were filmed just right...keeping the "looky Lou's" out of view must have been tough, and also they are part of the experience...Americana at it's best, the Big Springs green car grade crossing must have been clueless or late to the party, too funny.....as to what was approaching on the tracks, or that was what it seemed to me. Final, you film the Tower, after 31:00 into the video, you are up in the Tower, and how you got that audio of Big-Boy into the yard with the horn echoing in the distance is a classic....what an ending clip! One of your best........!! Alien
