As always I am amazed by your photography. I am also amazed by the iron work that they did back in the early days of the last century. The precision that goes into building a structure that was a feat in itself. The structure seems to be in very good condition which means that it has been cared for, for all these 100 plus years. The video hit me right in my chest. Your production quality is as always excellent. The music really connected with the videos. Keep me amazed by your whole production process. Your videos and others videos have shown myself and others interested in trains about the beauty of the Western US. Thank you for all the hard work that you do for your channel.

Well thanks a lot Gordon I'm glad it resonated with you! I can sometimes get pretty particular about the music but I was pretty satisfied with what I came up for this one so I'm glad you think it worked well.

I'm sure it was a huge job building this long viaduct. Especially in the early 20th century, when earthmoving machines and cranes weren't very sophisticated. Maintenance is critical here, because if something bad happens up there the train will fall into the river. The locomotives are pretty faded on this train, but at least there's a nice variety. Great footage as always Dan, this will be another entertaining movie.

Thanks a lot Z! If you look online you can find some photos of when this was being built. It's pretty amazing to see and those are precious photos for sure. I know railroaders who have ran this route and they say the worst was traveling over this thing in the fog when they couldn't see the bottom!

As everyone else has said yes, quite spectacular, I always love your videos of trains moving through the landscapes. Sometimes during the aerial shots I can almost hear the whine of my old electric trains, as if they've come to life. Personally my favorite part of this is the shot from ground level with the shoreline in the foreground. I can imagine being there with friends, fishing poles and beers in hand, talking & sharing another fine day. Damn dude, I'm sitting here smiling now, Thanx Dan

This place is amazing. I've been there 3 times but only caught 1 train in those visits. Coming all the way from Australia that's tough. But when you do luck it in, it is the most amazing feeling. The area at Joso has for me a very special feel, an aura all of its own. I've walked both sides of the trestle at rail level and out on the bridge a little. It is high!!!!!! You got perfect weather during this shot. I've not been so lucky, but I will sit there for hours if I have to, to catch a train crossing this awesome bridge. Will give it one more shot this coming August 2024!!!!

Very impressive - great photography and a good pic of the day and time, crystal clear sky and colours - It does raise a point with trains this long, when cutting towns in half the RR companies could/should provide funds for at least one under or over crossing for EM services and access. I would guess they do not use passing loops of any kind in this type of operation.

Just amazing. How can such an old bridge manage the tonnage of today? Did the design the bridge with a safety factor of 100? No doubt the bridge has been cared for those years. As always, great footage. Also using a DJI Mavic 3 pro the camera change impacts the recording. To "gear up" is okey but to "gear down" and maintaining a continues zoom out, footage is lost during the time it takes. Greate mirroring in the water at the end. I wish DJI could automate the camera change to: stop recording, switch camera and turn on recording, when recording is active..

Beautiful video. Drones are the best thing to happen to photography since the invention of the camera. They're allowing spectacular views that would be impossible to capture from ground based cameras. The aerial photography was spectacular, loved the music you used. But I wasn't crazy about the computer generated voice. If you don't want to use human voice, I think you should stick with text on the video. Just my suggestion, you do your videos as you want. 👍👍👍BTW, another great drone photographer is my friend Ed Foulks. Check his stuff shot in Missouri too.

It's hard to believe that consist only had five engines. I thought the coal trains that come through my town headed to a power plant were long, but how wrong was I? Potash must not be as heavy as coal, or our elevation changes and grades must be steeper, but our coal trains usually have a triple header, and either a double or triple mid train set, and two at the rear, and they aren't half as long as this behemoth was. Great video.

In my younger days I've hiked the line from Marion, NC up to Spruce Pine, NC. A section called the Blue Ridge Loops is a 23 mile stretch of a continuous 1.2% grade, covering a 1600 foot elevation change and passing through 16 tunnels as the track ascends from Sevier to Altapass 16 miles of the Loops only covers a straight line distance of two miles, although there is a significant elevation change. It was originally the Clinchfield Line that went from Elkhorn KY to Spartanburg SC. In the steam days, they would double head 2-8-8-2 Mallets with another 2-8-8-2 pusher, and even ran 4-6-6-4 Challengers before dieselization replaced the big steam engines. At Altapass, there was a Y turnout for the pushers to turn around before heading back down the mountain.

@@DeereX748 Ok gotcha! That sounds like some great railroading! It is neat how they traverse mountains in places like you say here. traveling only a few miles as the crow flies but many more miles by rail just to twist and turn up a grade. I love that kind of stuff the most.

My biggest question is this: do you know if the build plate is still on the trestle somewhere? I *think* I see it on the span over the other rail line, but I can't quite tell on my phone. It's those little things that I enjoy seeing most on such historic and aged items like this! What a spectacular trestle though; maybe someday I'll get the time to head out there and check it out. It would totally be worth the drive in my opinion.

I looked and don't think I saw anything there. It is definitely a nice trip out there and this and Palouse Falls are right next to each other so you can see them both back to back.

Holding onto those DPUs before letting them go... That's incredible videography. I'm kind of tired of spending superlatives on your video skills. Not to mention the goddam bridge! lol

Very disappointed, Dan, a video involving the Snake River and not one Evel Knievel reference. But seriously, (just trying to make you laugh), another superb video. I will never understand why folks want to travel abroad with all of the magnificent scenery right here in the US of A...

Ha that made me laugh! My bad! Thanks so much and I fully agree. People just don't know where to look for the good stuff here I think but the American West has some of the most rugged breathtaking scenery anywhere in the world I think.

Hermoso vídeo y una gran Obra de ingeniería , pero al ver la estructura a todo lo largo me preocupa el Color del óxido ferroso ya presente tal vez por el aire Salino o por una increíble cantidad de electricidad estática en el aire que le acortará la vida a dicha obra . Gracias.

I could not count the number of cars in this train. I Got to 70 before the two locomotive near the middle. Then there was a space pf maybe many more than another 70 , Then I managed to count another 25 in front of the trailing locomotive. could anybody do better than me? It was a bloody long train.

Great photography…but narration needs a lot of help. Sub-sid-ee-airy…and it’s certainly the tallesT…not the talless. It makes your absolutely professional videos sound a bit amateurish. Use an active tense…in another great video…”Mount Hood can be seen in the distance…”. How about, Mount Hood is in the distance.” Huge difference.

You got me on 'Subsidiary' and I actually take pronunciation of my words seriously so that one was pure ignorance. I hadn't even second guess myself on that one a thought it was correct. I'm not sure why you're not hearing the "T" in "Tallest" though because I definitely am hearing a "T" sound at the end. I most definitely know it's 'Tallest.' You also might want to take some of your own advice because none of this is 'Photography' but most certainly 'Videography' or even 'Moving Pictures' if you prefer.
