Great job. I haven't seen much of freight trains since we were down on the farm, High River, Alberta. Not much action there, CN line to Crow's Nest Pass. Worked in the Kicking Horse Pass regrading CP mainline. Saw a 150 car grain train climb thru the pass loaded in 1980, 8 units, 5-lead engines and 3 about 60 cars back that was awesome but your videos are the next best thing. Keep up the great work. The last train ran down here, Newfoundland, in 1989, they pulled up the track in 1990. chrs Bob
You've really captured a traditional Chicagoland scene with the tower and the other wonderful backdrops in that area; it looks great in your views just before sunrise.
I think that was the take me behind the shed and put me out of my misery haircut from the horn of the NS intermodel. It doesn't get much more blue collar then Hick Tower :D
Outstanding as always. Great framing and it's great to see you're sticking with Hick Tower. This location is awesome. Great K5LA S&AAHC on that hotshot at 7:35 AM. By the way, the CSX GEVO's are now ES40DC's. They're down-rating them. 5*
Hick Tower looks like a very interesting place to foam. I used Google Earth & believe I found Hick. The view of the tower from the air looks like the tower in your vids. How does one get to Hick Tower? From Google Earth I cannot find an exit off HW912.
The start of this video could seriously be in an actual movie on the big screen, it's that well done. You are an artist! Keep it up!
