Sandpatch Grade: CSX Coal vs. The West Slope (1080p drone)

In late October, 2020, a loaded CSX coal train grinds its way slowly up the West Slope of Sandpatch Grade from Glade City to the summit of the Allegheny Mountains. Helpers are an absolute necessity as Western Pennsylvania coal makes its way to the docks at Baltimore.

Jason, very nice drone videography - I'd hire you for drone work in a film.

Thanks! You might not say that if you saw the very next train I tried to get. Spoiler alert, it features a tree in a guest starring role.
But I do appreciate the kind words. I hope to shoot a lot more this year and I also get my 107 certification. I was going to take a class on it last spring, but...

Jason, are you shooting 4K (UHD)?

Hi, Keith! Usually, yes, I definitely prefer to shoot in 4k, but somehow I bumped it down to 1080P this afternoon. Noty crazy about using the phone with the controller, but I recently upgraded to solve that problem.
