You should do the frequently delayed Texas Eagle next. Suggestion is the frequent stops between Dallas and Texarkana due to the numerous freight trains (especially at Big Sandy, which has an active diamond crossing) that slow it down.
That is an interesting idea! I'm thinking of how I could represent a longer distance trains and the issues they have (PSR freights that don't fit in sidings, ridiculous see-saw moves, other things...) Very possible I film something like that in the future.
Interesting concept; one drawback is that the captions were up and down so quickly it was hard to follow the action. You might want to consider fleshing out the model shots so as to allow the viewer time to read the caption and watch the action, too, while making the color of the captions darker to make them easier to read against the neutral background. Or, preferably, change to narration rather than captions so the viewer's eyes aren't constantly darting up and down in an attempt to keep track of both visual aspects of the video.
Amtrak running like an old Douglas Tray Pack Machine!!!😂😂😂
Your video truly depicts the service (or lack of?) provided by Amtrak!
Very Cool!
