Two Days In Fall: Durango and Silverton 2022

[@CoasterFan2105]

Incredible. Some of the best drone shots I've ever seen on the D&S. Very cinematic feel to the whole thing. Awesome video.

[@RioGrande486]

4:23 the most majestic 6 chime I’ve ever heard! Great sound and echo, literally gave me chills!

[@realethanangell]

Absolutely beautiful-sounding whistle on 493, a Texas & Pacific Longbell 3-chime! Drone footages are all for the money, cinematic-style footages, excellent audio!

[@Big_Diehl]

Thanks! It all came together this time…

[@YardLimit]

The Shalona Lake and little high line sequences are great!

[@joelvale3887]

Beautiful colors, my favorite trains and scenery.

[@wolfgangpfeilergartenbahnd6530]

A phenomenal video, the colors are great as the trains run through the autumn landscape. Fantastic film locations and a grandiose sound. Thank you for showing me.

[@edhoran1709]

Wow! You hit it out of the park with this one. Great angles. the fall colors just add excellence to your work.

[@Big_Diehl]

Aw Shucks..,.

[@Juxen4021]

Fantastic job! Also, nice, steady hand with the drone footage there.

[@adamsfly6212]

your videography is top, and I mean, top notch. Enough said. Thanks!

[@Big_Diehl]

Thanks! I try

[@dstenger]

Wonderul. We've ridden the D&S three times. Never gets old. Some great drone shots!

[@Big_Diehl]

Thanks! I was amazed by how some of these drone shots came out…

[@alansvideos5358]

Wonderful video! Thanks!

[@ThatBIGTRAINGuy]

I feel the quality of your videos are somewhere between documentary and movie: your production style picks up detail, character and atmosphere so well. Love it! /Simon

[@Big_Diehl]

Thanks!

[@slanderedstone]

Now thats what i call quality! nice shots!

[@jeanclauderondeau9696]

superbes images

[@Big_Diehl]

Thanks!

[@whitcraft2]

Good stuff, top shelf.

[@ArkansasLocomotiveWorks]

Fantastic, love the shot next to the Strater.

[@Big_Diehl]

Thanks, it’s the first time I’ve put it to video… done it for a sunrise shot on a photo special.

[@CinemaRepository]

Beautiful stuff man! Love it! :)

[@Big_Diehl]

Patiently awaiting your work from the weekend....

[@CinemaRepository]

@@Big_Diehl Oh it’s pretty good thus far. We had a serious technical (lab) issue that set us back a bit but I’ve done some digital re-working to make it good. Now it’s just down to narration recording. Trying to get one of my VO professionals to do it.

[@MPT_Productions]

Excellent video, William!

[@Big_Diehl]

Thanks Mark!

[@railpast]

Great job. How did you capture the sound?. Which drone were you using? Also how did you get permission to film where you did or did you do if from a public area and fly the drone in. I get nervous if I can't see mine. :-)

[@Big_Diehl]

The sound was lifted from the camera that I set on the tripod and matched in post. The drone is a Mavic 2 Pro. We're in Uncontrolled Airspace, so no authorization needed. And finally, while it looks like we're far from the drone, everything was done within my sight (this canyon looks bigger on film I swear)...

[@railpast]

@@Big_Diehl Thanks I have a friend who has been there a number of times and just wondered where you were shooting from.

[@brianfalzon6739]

Why does 493 have a T&P Hancock Longbell 3 Chime whistle? Reminds of 610 that is on current static display at the Texas State Railroad as of today.

[@Big_Diehl]

It’s more than likely from an employee’s collection.

[@brianfalzon6739]

@@Big_Diehl I see. Well maybe you should check out the Texas State Railroad where they got steam and diesel trains too.

[@Ruggedrails]

Beyond words mate majestic and peaceful yet alive and busy all at once is that you waving around 2.50 ?

[@Big_Diehl]

While I'm there, I'm not waving. That's another railfan, a Brit, who came out there at the same time.

[@Ruggedrails]

@@Big_Diehl well I’m jealous of both of you. Magnificent job mate

[@Big_Diehl]

@@Ruggedrails I'm lurking in the shadows next to him though.

[@Ruggedrails]

Hahaha yes that’s what I thought once you said it wasn’t you 🤣

[@CrkdFngrGngrBndt]

What whistle do they have on 493 now? Sounds good

[@Big_Diehl]

From what I’ve seen in the NGDF, it’s a T&P 3 chime clone

[@zebrashark23]

Sounds like a whistle that belongs on a paddle wheel boat heading down the mighty Mississippi River . Makes me want to watch "Maverick" with Mel Gibson

[@sophornnmun3479]

Good location nice video I also do content like that
