    0:13 UP 1983 leading
    0:28 BNSF cab slug 55 and SD40-2 trailing
    1:06 five boat-hauling pickup trucks and a jeep get a police escort
    2:52 BNSF, FXE, and WAMX power on one train
    3:08 P42 with a Talgo 8
    3:23 that's a lot of centerbeams
    9:05 9-unit lash-up
    12:02 I like how the paint and the fiery exhaust reflects in the night-vision camera
    14:06 MOW equipment closeup at Ashland! Installing a new crossing surface that wasn't there before
    19:00 ATSF business car 33 on the Sunset Limited
    21:30 WOW! Nice to see some freight action at South Norwalk. Quite an unusual thing to see such a line without an abundance of freight trains
    25:40 two of the private cars heading back from their excursion behind US Sugar steam locomotive 148
    28:18 this is the 2nd time in this grab bag a train had to stop before this crossing. Such a fault is rare except on Denver RTD

      I don't recall another train having to flag the Chehalis crossing right there. The one on the south side of the depot where it's mounted, however, malfunctions often

    First time I ever saw a lifted frog. When I was a kid there were a lot of frogs that had Springs and the flange would kick the rail out to go thru. When no flange was present on diverging track the rail would spring back filling the gap. Do they still have those, haven't seen one in a long time.
