    The drawing for the Baofeng UV5R is complete. It was won by Mark Taylor.

    Very entertaining.
    Wonder if the owner will ever try to reclaim his vehicle. Or show up in the night with a torch and Mr. Sawzall. I did that once when Jerry Jones' thugs booted my delivery truck after I parked it where they said to park. To this day I am not a Cowboys fan for this and other reasons.
    Keep up the good work. I enjoy watching you while I remain dry and toasty warm.

    I'd like to see you ride the former C&EI and L&N routes from Chicago down to Evansville and on to Nashville. I don't think any of the other RUclips hoboes have documented that trip.

    At least you got to get a little fly fishing in... And you caught a fish! Outstanding!! Thank you, George

    It was so nice to see Denver! I miss it so much! I have pictures, from the exact spot you were standing, by the UP control tower, from April of this year. Thank you for that. It was so nice to see the mountains. I was in Westminster for 6 months. I am going back in January. Counting the days! My wife is a travel RN. Our home is in FL. We are gere in VA Beach until December. BTW, I was shooed away from the yard (nicely) though. You're better off at night but beware of the cameras there! Good luck. 👍

  • @joshuam.6404
    @joshuam.6404 2 года назад +1

    Haha that little fish you caught is about the size of some bait! :) Oh and I wanted to say, whenver I'm in Denver I always opt to stay at the LaQuinta down near Globeville Rd because you can see right out your window all the rail activity at the BN yard right behind it. Kinda of neat. Plus it's LaQuinta so it won't break the bank. Last time I stayed there someone on the first floor was outside walking their pet pig. Yes pig. I even snuck a photo haha

    Would love to have one of those radios . Enjoy your channel. Love your stories about the Grand Island area. I grew up there so I was there when you where there live in Aurora, Ne now keep up the good content I really enjoy it

  • @blart123
    @blart123 2 года назад

    I'm 73 years old and enjoy watching your Videos. I like looking at the scenery going by as you ride and also the commentary. There is no way that I would be able to do anything like you do. As a "life long" railfan I look for railroad landmarks and equipment and dream about how things were compared to how things are today. Again I enjoy your videos very much!!

    • @Jumpingoffthecliff
      @Jumpingoffthecliff  2 года назад

      Thanks for your kind words. I lament some of the changes over the years, especially the loss of roads through mergers, etc. I am glad though that fundamentally things haven't changed completely.

  • @DOPES4MAGA
    @DOPES4MAGA 2 года назад +1

    From what I've seen that UP train that goes up into the mountains usually stops in Bond, CO for a crew change that is an 8-12 hour change. It isn't a straight through to Grand Junction. I've seen some other people try and catch that train back to Denver or out from Denver and they always get stuck there.

  • @renegadebt1374

    @johndanaher6371 2 года назад

    "I caught a fish this long", said the one-armed fisherman. Yessiree, it was a big one! Always enjoy the drone shots. It gives a great perspective of the surrounding area. Stay safe and warm and look forward to your next trip video.

  • @jeffdrake770
    @jeffdrake770 2 года назад +1

    As always... like getting a letter from an old friend, just a good feeling.. We live in N Michigan so few to no trains..Would love to host u for dinner and board if u ever are in this area! Be safe and carry on!

  • @rhythmsoftherailroad6484
    @rhythmsoftherailroad6484 2 года назад +1

    Sometimes things don't work out the way we would like, they just work out. Always good to see another video.
    If, you're upcoming adventures east of the Mississippi take you into New England, let me know we might be able to cross channels on an adventure. There are several 7.25" clubs in the area to visit, if you'd like also. Either way, I look forward to watching your videos of the adventures.
    Keep listening for those Rhythms of the Railroad.

  • @jonny7dreamin

    Hi George, I am in my seventies now and a retired railman. You mentioned a strike in your video and at the moment we are having rail strikes here in England which to my annoyance has seriously curtailed my observations railway activity here. I began to look on RUclips and came across your channel and thoroughly enjoyed its contents falling in love with the American/Canadian railroad systems and how it all operates (A massive learning curve). Now you have a fan on the other side of the pond eagerly awaiting more postings from yourself. Thank you and more of the same please, safe journeys my friend. 👍

  • @craigadams2453
    @craigadams2453 2 года назад +1

    Interesting video! I've always fly fished up stream and let it float down to me. The subdivision over Moffitt pass has been quite for a few years since the Grand coal business dropped off.

    @billboyer7735 2 года назад

    I’ve just started watching these train hopping videos and love them. I think many people like myself have always fantasized or dreamt about being a hobo. I know it’s a lot more than just getting on and off a box car or a grain car. I’m learning the terminology and the players. Hobo Shoestring got me hooked. The I heard about the late Hobo Stobe. I doubt I’ll ever try this, getting a little too old the check engine light on myself is coming on more often these days. Living life vicariously through RUclips channels.

    I like how you hid in plain sight as the UP workers did their thing. Nobody seemed too concerned. I didn't get the Denver boot, but I did get the denver parking ticket because only an ant can read the fine print on the meter. Oh well, what do ya do.....Good stuff, can't wait to see you eastern trips next year.

    Ps. I recently rode the Cardinal through New River Gorge. That would be rad to see from a freight🤔 😉
