Ya know, my great Grandma lived in a small town with one set of silos and tracks. Every time we heard that Train whistle we'd drop whatever we were doing and run to the corner of her property and count the cars in the train going by. What sweet times we had there!

My earliest memories of my Grandma were hearing the train twice every night. My Aunt lived a block off the RR track and we used to run to put Penny’s on the track. We also used to dare each other to cross the old high train bridge over the Colorado river just outside of Columbus Texas. I never did it but my sister did with our uncle. The train came and they had to jump down on the supports as the train went overhead. My mom wanted to kill my uncle. 😂

So true! I’m getting very good at noticing all types of infrastructure mistakes and really am impressed when I see good infrastructure planning. My husband is always saying, “Oh, now the infrastructure commentary”. Lmao

This dude is amazing devoting all of his time to this

Just a note about the partial fence blocking one of the culverts - it is to keep the tumbleweeds from blocking the culvert. Thank you for coming out west to see us!

I bet you are happy that the beavers back in New England don't have access to that prairie grass that you had to fight with! It looks like you had a great adventure!

I’m so glad you switched to a potato rake, the longer tines penetrate much deeper for a better grip into the material

Even on vacation, you can’t help clearing culverts. Haha. Great train footage, I enjoyed it.

Nothing to fear. It is just an Eastern Garter snake. Nonpoinsonous. I'm with you... love trains. Cheers, Dick from Vancouver.

Those fences are probably built/owned by the state or the railroad (probably, but not always). In the west the law is usually "open range" - that is, you have to fence livestock OUT not IN on your property. So, fences along highways are usually built by the state to keep cattle off the highway. If there are issues with water being available on one side of the road but not the other, the state may elect to drill a well on the dry side so that the rancher's cattle aren't cut off from water when they fence the road.

Welcome to Montana! Glad to see you enjoying the sights and other attractions! Culverts are usually cleaned during runoff in the spring. But don't worry! Many clog up during summer irrigation! Stay safe and have fun😀

I can’t believe how many cars continued crossing the tracks when the lights were flashing before the boom gates came down😳 Huge trains here in W. Australia too. I used to love counting the carriages at crossings when I was younger.

Blinking red crossing lights are there for a reason. Ppl are either lucky, or deceased when they ignore them. Same with red lights and autos.

Wow. Tumbleweed beaver dams are a whole different kind of tangled.

The glacial flour contributes to the green color of the water. As for the sulfur smell, that is the Yellowstone River comprised of fresh water and water from the paint pots and hot springs of Yellowstone National Park. I would imagine the rattlesnakes and bull snakes have denned up together for the incoming winter. When I saw the sign for Rapelje, I was really surprised you did not step into a snake den or see the shed skins. Excellent videos - a tasteful representation of Montana and Wyoming.

I agree, that blue-green water color is the result of glacial melt.

I was screaming BE CAREFUL! everytime you walked in the grass, near old logs and big rocks: all places that rattlesnakes like to hide. I live in central California and am very familiar with rattlesnakes. Cool video! I was in southern Montana a few months ago. I went to Yellowstone. It's amazing!

Thanks for the beautiful scenery post, the west really is amazing to admire man! Have a great day my friend, ready to watch your next culvert adventure!! 😎👍

If you hear someone rattling beans in a paper sack, probably a rattler. Before the gas rationing in the 70s, there was no daytime speed limit for cars in Montana, believe it as 55 at night. The rule was to be safe and prudent.

awesome, another great video! i love trains. i was a rural letter carrier for the post office and was out one winter delivering in a snow emergency. no one had been on the roads for a couple days, i came to the train crossing on my route, a train was approaching. the roads were closed so i was the only person around. snow was piled up by a bulldozer topped with a couple feet of fresh snow right on the tracks, it was about 8 feet high. i love watching the engines pass normally but this time was extra exciting, the train was cruising at around 45-50 mph and when it hit that snow pile, it was an enormous white explosion, it was nothing to the train to plow right through it but it was so so cool to see!!

Spectacular scenery that you've captured with your great photography.

For those who don't know blowing the horn is federal law. They don't just honk to say hi to you even though that would be nice. Blowing 2 long a short and a long means the intersection is clear of any oncoming vehicles.

Wow. That opening shot felt like the beginning of a movie. That was something special. Or as we like to say.... Awesome as usual.

Here in Texas, the toll road that's near me hits an 85 mph speed limit. That makes it the highest speed limit in the nation!

I want to thank you for your "western" videos. I haven't been to Montana for 40 years but it has always been my favorite state. Granted, I've never been to New England north of New York and I think I would really love Maine as well. Thank you for bringing us with you on your travels.

That was pretty kool showing us the train what pretty country

4,000 ft. elevation isn't all that high, FWIW. The lack of water is the main reason trees are sparse. Those blue glass insulators were also used for phone lines and are still in use in some rural areas. "The next gush of water" may not happen until next year. Landowner permission must be obtained before dealign with beaver dams in Montana, some areas may require permits. Assuming you checked into all of that.

Thank you so much post 10 for posting your amazing videos I've been watching you for a few years now. And all the stuff you do is what i love to do but a lot of times I can't do it. So with making these great videos we can watch really makes my day. I am such a big fan of your videos I watch the same ones everyday I just really love your videos we all do. So I just wanted to say thank you we all love you man keep up the good work😄😄😄

I don't really care about trains but it's super interesting to see the difference between the Montana landscape and your usual turf including the dryness and the culverts.

I think my favorite part of watching every time is whenever you grab hold of a measly looking twig and pull out a whole ass tree!

Beautiful countryside shots Post! Thanks for taking us along!

Snake: Western Terrestrial Garter snake. From the quick video, that is what I identify the snake as. Keep up the good work. Be safe.👍

Chasing the train was fun. Thanks. Now you've gone and opened another dam and throw off their Christmas Tumble Weed! The beavers will have to build and decorate again. LOL I found the variety of culverts interesting to say the least.

Rail fanning and culvert cleaning!! My almost favorite Post video.. my favorite was sleeping in the frozen abandoned motel.

I just love to watch you so much every time I come back home I'm eating my supper and I'm just sitting watching with you.

The most intersting thing I've ever seen done with railroads is in Chatsworth, IL. I found out about It incidentally as I was driving through, as the main route to get to where I wanted was under construction and very backed up. I had no idea that railroad diamond crossings even existed before, let alone ±20 feet from the main road through town. after looking through on satellite imaging, it makes sense how it works, but it is still very interesting. It's basically at a railroad hub, but it is kind of strange in how it works and can be best understood by looking at it, it's very difficult for me to explain.

Gorgeous open country. Thanks for sharing your trip with us, post 10.

I'm waiting for the international culvert ep.

The swallow nests that have "tunnel like holes" are Cliff Swallow nests. The open top nests are Barn Swallow nests.

I have two boxes of those insulators from my Dad’s work as a lineman for the Mountain States Telephone & Telegraph Company.

Different kind of unclogging with those overgrown culverts. I hope you enjoyed your trip out west. ❤️
