    Interesting factoid if you notice all the graffiti on trains. It is never on the registration number. (Basically a license plate )The transportation administration demands that the number be visible when the train is moving. So when it's inspected at every stop they have to erase the graffiti and rewrite it. Graffiti artists know this so they never paint over the numbers.

    I've always noticed this and figured it was always inspectors that would remove the paint but didn't know the graffiti pests themselves were smart enough for such a thing.

    You would not have to pay me to work for that railroad! And this has got to be one of the best train chasing videos ever the scenery is magnificent. The cinematography is on point and I just love those Genesee and Wyoming derivative Corp. schemed locomotives. A little narration on maybe how old the line isor how this railroad came together would be great. I am definitely not critiquing your video. I absolutely love what you’re doing. Thank you so much.

    When you first asked the question about doing the soaring the rails videos, I figured do what you want. The way you were able to go for so long without making several cuts was great to just enjoy the scenery. I don't know what you can do to improve on this type of video, but I am sure you will find a way to continually amaze us with your talent. The choice of music accompanying the video was nearly perfect. Keep this type of video coming.

    A couple interesting swing bridges on this line are on two of the trestle over Tahkenitch Lake. They're old manually operated bridges and while they're permanently closed (continuous rail had been laid over them) it's interesting to me that they were ever out in at all.
